ArenaNet, LLC is an American video game developer and subsidiary of NCSoft, founded in 2000 by Mike O'Brien, Patrick Wyatt and Jeff Strain and located in Bellevue, Washington. They are most notable as developers of the online role-playing game series Guild Wars.
==History== Originally named Triforge, ArenaNet was founded in 2000 by three veterans of Blizzard Entertainment: Mike O'Brien ("Mo"), Jeff Strain, and Patrick Wyatt. They had previously held senior roles in the production of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo games, as well as in shared technologies like the battle.net service and "Mo pack" (.mpq) file format. The company was acquired by NCSoft in December 2002 during development of its then-unannounced first title, Guild Wars.
