February 17, 2012 — Till the end of Internet

Hello there, it was a while. I missed the third anniversary of Memorial... 3 years, I never thought it would continue after 3 years, I would like to thanks everyone who keep me motivated and/or helped me after all these years, thank you!

As you problably know, this year is the year of Guild Wars 2, the game will enter into week-end beta test in the coming month followed after with the release of the game. Till the release of Guild Wars 2, I will continue to add mAT builds and results but with less and less new AT builds and mAT videos. However, Guild Wars Memorial will stay online even after the release of Guild Wars 2, and will become a memorial of Guild Wars 1 PvP Competition.

Therefore, I'm stopping the development of Memorial (after hundreds and hundreds hours), but before that there was something I wanted to finish and that was really missing on Memorial since 2008, the Past Seasons. So, there is now the results of the Past Seasons' tournaments:

• Guild Wars World Championship
• Guild Wars Factions Championship
• Autumn 2006 Season
• Winterfest 2006 Season
• Celestial Tournament

This is problably the last news of Memorial, I don't know yet if there will be a Guild Wars 2 Memorial, so, see you soon maybe ;)

• Thumbs Up: you can also participate in a different way, thumbs up (or thumbs down) builds, results, guilds, videos, skills and skill updates aswell as comments.
• Search Players: no need to use Google anymore to search players' nicknames (or to find yourself, it depends). The script search through the whole database, but in case you don't find someone or yourself, remember: Test ≠ T E S T.

This update is currently on test, so it needs to be optimize and things can be changed / removed / improved. And don't forget to give us feedbacks to improve the site ;)

April 30, 2011 — Guild Wars Memorial v2 -still with no ads-

Après des mois de développement, la nouvelle version de Guild Wars Memorial est maintenant opérationnelle ! Même si elle est en ligne la liste des choses à faire est encore assez longue, certaines pages ne sont pas disponibles pour l'instant mais le seront dans très peu de temps (articles, archives notamment).

Hormis le layout qui a été complètement modifié (pas que), il y a également quelques fonctionnalités supplémentaires, surtout du côté des pages dédiées aux guildes ainsi que pour les recherches puisqu'on peut maintenant rechercher parmi les compétences et voir les derniers builds joués sur les maps. Des améliorations viendront encore se greffer dans les semaines/mois à venir.

Guild Wars Memorial a besoin de votre aide ! Builds, vidéos, etc, il y a encore beaucoup de données à rassembler. Une page sera bientôt en ligne avec les informations que je recherche, en attendant vous pouvez toujours me contacter sur cette page. Merci !

Et comme toujours, si vous avez des suggestions / commentaires / remarques à faire, n'hésitez pas à m'en faire part. Bonne visite sur cette nouvelle version ;)

And to make sure this tournament will be fun to play and to watch: due to the imbalance of certain Dervish skills in the current metagame, they are limiting teams in the Bronze, Silver, and Gold divisions to running a maximum of one Dervish primary to promote build diversity. Good luck to all teams!
