Guild Wars Mini-Interview #29

ArenaNet has answered another small batch of questions about their upcoming Guild Wars, and this time the interview is at Guild Wars Center. Check it out:
Q: Will you give the option to create pre-made level 20 competition characters in release?

A: Yes, the ready-made characters for competition will be a feature of Guild Wars at release. People will be able to elect to "grow" a character from Level 1, or they may choose one of pre-made Level 20 characters to play. We like the idea of giving people options, and we want to respond to the desire of players who wish to experiment with different professions and to get a taste of certain skill choices. And of course creating a pre-made character will furnish a way for players to participate in PvP right away rather than spending time in missions leveling up a character. So the ready-made characters will address several player desires.
