The Guild Wars Henchman Skill Bar Contest received far more submissions than expected- over 30,000

players submitted their character's skill bars, making it quite a challenge for the game designers to pick out the worthy winners. The contest was released by the Guild Wars team at NCSoft and Arena Net, who so graciously listened to the voices of their loyal players who wanted to get rid of the heroes and have them replaced by henchmen instead. Players were open to submit up to three different characters in their account. They then had to equip them some seriously wicked skills and enter the contest in-game. If any of the characters that players submitted were worthy of a new henchmen, then that henchman would become part of the game and Guild Wars history!
The twenty winners also received some super cool bonuses:
- The henchman they helped create was named after their character (or a name of their choice).
- Winners received an Everlasting Henchman Tonic that makes is possible for them to turn into the image of the henchman they helped create.
With a total of forty new henchmen (twenty in Guild vs. Guild and twenty in Heroes Ascent play) for players to utilize, Guild players can get the scoop on what sweet skills these henchmen boast right here. You can also view the winners and their skill bars by visiting the Guild Wars website.
