Bellevue (WA) - NCSoft announced today that it will bring the new installment to the online epic Guild Wars to PC consumers next month.

Guild Wars: Eye of the North is the first expansion to the two-year-old Guild Wars game, which is unique because it does not charge users a monthly fee to join the online universe.

The massively multiplayer online role-playing game has sold more than two million copies.  There has been a handful of new campaigns but Eye of the North is the first full-fledged expansion to the game.

Those who pre-order the new expansion will receive a bonus pack with several exclusive in-game items, like the Glacial Blade and Hourglass Staff weapons.  Pre-order customers will also have access to Eye of the North for a sneak peek during the weekend from August 24 to August 26.

Guild Wars 2 is also already on the release calendar, slated for some time next year.  The Eye of the North expansion pack will be released on August 31.

Wasn't factions an expansion pack for guild wars? Wouldn't this be the second one?
