This list contains all recent PvXwiki news.

Sponsored by Razer

 * After a few weeks of negotiations with Razer™ we finally reached agreement where Razer™ will sponsor PvXwiki! Deal includes both full cover of all hosting costs as well as providing us with prizes for all kind of contests we will hold here on PvXwiki. First trial period of contract are for the 3 month but if all goes well will be extended.


 * Deal includes that only banners from Razer™ will be shown on PvXwiki as well as other minor things. We will also host news and other information about Razer™ products.

New Content Planned

 * In order to facilitate build retention and build creation, we plan to add a complete skill database as well as a section devoted to Guild Wars game updates. Additionally, we will be hosting news for mmosite in return for a promise to advertise for PvXwiki in order to generate a greater number of new users.

Ads Successful

 * Preliminary data indicates that Ads will provide sufficient income (for the time being at least) to ensure the relative stability of this site. (Remember: If you see an inappropriate banner on PvXwiki, feel free to add it to the ad blacklist.)

Unfavored builds deleted

 * Builds that were unfavored when they were imported from Guild Wiki had been put into the Trash category when Real Vetting was launched. Most of these builds have been abandoned by the community since, that is, no effort was made to improve them, their inferiority was not questioned, and no wish to keep them available was expressed by any user. These builds have now been deleted.

Real Vetting has finally been implemented!

 * Builds have been categorized according to the Real Vetting policy standards. All previously favored builds can now be found under the Working Good category.  There are also 2 new categories for working builds, those of Working Great and Working Other.  We would kindly ask you to take your time to read our official build rating policy and we welcome you to rate builds.
 * In other news, due to PvX:DELETE, all unfavored builds imported from GuildWiki have been moved to the Trash category and will be deleted in two weeks time (that is, around July 14). This gives editors a chance to archive builds in their userspace or attempt to revamp unfavored builds.  Any unfavored builds left in that category after two weeks will be summarily deleted.
 * One final note of caution. All builds that were in the Untested section prior to implementation are now in the Trial section which can be found here or for PvP or PvE respectively.  However, builds should not be voted upon until they are in the Testing phase, so authors who want their builds voted upon need to move them manually to the Testing category. See here for details
