Hi!

There is a new game coming out on April 28th (I think) called Guild Wars. It looks so good IMO. Its an MMORPG with NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE! There is over 750 skills for each class, and of course, each character can be two classes. Furthermore, unlike other RPG's you can destroy pretty much anything (I think) e.g. You can destroy bridges which people need to use!

Was anyone thinking about getting this? Ive already pre-ordered the Special Edition which comes with a Logitech headset, 3 months teamspeak, artbook, soundtrack and an in-game item which I like to call "t3h sh1ne!!1"



www.guildwars.com for more info

[Edit] Sorry, more like 150 skills each class :o Ooops

With GW I believe you can install from someone else's CD and purchase an account key online instead of entering the key from the CD case. But sure, either way you pay.

It uses a system that's a little bit different from servers. The game keeps towns from getting overcrowded by creating districts, which are just versions of the same town running in parallel. There are different home districts that are specific to whatever region you live in, but all players can meet together in a town regardless of where they live, provided that they are playing on the designated international districts.

Edit: By the way, my game name is Grandpa Pogo. Feel free to add meh. :)

Okay, I've gained a bit of information on this game from the thread. Sounds awesome :D Are there different servers to log onto? If so, you guys should try to collect together on one server. I'm going to look into the game myself, although I don't think I have time for it. :)

they will still start to charge for it eventually, you'll see , one day im gonna bump this thread and go . What did i tell you :P


I just bought it during my lunch break. It explicitly states that online play is free, so if they start to charge there will be lawsuits. Remember they have a different business model. Future "chapters" will require players to go out and buy more software, not pay a monthly fee. They have also stated that you don't need the expansions to remain competitive, which I really like.

My favorite part of Guild Wars that I've seen so far is the graphics.

Wow.

I mean, come on, MMORPGs don't really give much to graphics because of the massive lag that would result from good graphics. But Guild Wars' graphics looks pretty good.
