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  Ooops_______________ ------------------------ This post was edited by OpTiMe on Apr 18 2005 09:50pm. |

1 day to Guild Wars! _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Gom gom gom gom gom! |

The beauty of the game is that they don't have to overload their servers with tons of people on at once. If your soloing it doesnt have to load all the other in the world or if your grouped, it will just load them. And it does this all while using alot of files stored on your cpu and not their server. They have a lot of time b4 the servers get clogged. By then they will have an expansion that will pay for any additional servers they need. _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON  .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page.

Yes, you are correct. Guild Wars isn't a "Im uber cool, I play million hours, I have uber level, Im better than you!" In Guild Wars, it is all about skill and tactics and urm... fun  Thats why Im looking forward to it so much It means people who spend hours on it aren't necessarily the best. _______________ ------------------------ |

If I'm correct, the maximum level that can be reached in guildwars is level 20. Therefor not hammering on grinding to gain levels, but instead to emphasize it on tactics. |

Quote: suckers, when your all high level they will introduce a monthly paying system. Trust me the all do in the end. Hardly. Since the beginning not having the monthly fee has been part of the whole goal of the game. Besides which, your comment about being a high level leads me to believe that you've done little to no research on the game; why should we listen to you, then, if you know next to nothing about the game or Arenanet? Sorry, but i get a little rankled when people say things like that. You get enough people spouting lies about the game on the WoW forums... _______________ Well then.

Actually this in the "General" forums, where "general" subjects are discussed. I think thats the point of it being named "general".

Huh? Who here did not know about Guild Wars? You don't need to make a post about Guild Wars in the Jedi Academy forums, everybody knows about Guild Wars. You are just spamming so your posts would be smart like a flabbery, flopping Jacen Aratan doll. _______________ slorp |

Game play goes like this. You have player areas such as cities and little villages. These are areas where you can interact with other players. Sell, Buy, TRADE...ect. When you leave the city and you are alone, the world thats generated is just for you. If you leave the city with a group then its generated just for your grp. You wont see other players again till you enter a city area. Hope that clears it up a little _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page. MY FAV.

Also, Trad, is it true that you (and your friends) play on say, an 8 player server of your own (part of the HUGE server), and therefore, you are the only ones there? This is what my friend told me. I suppose that would be quite good in a way. _______________ ------------------------ |

Oops sorry I meant 150 skills lol. 750, that would be amazing hehe. Also, you get 3 months free teamspeak HOSTING So you and all your mates can play online with your own Teamspeak server.Also, from: http://www.guild-hall.net/misc.php Quote: Deformable Terrain: Because of the instanced mission areas, ArenaNet will be able to give players the opportunity to have significant impact on the landscape. In most current MMORPG's it's not possible to allow players to do things like destroy bridges, because those bridges are needed for other players. Guild Wars won't suffer from this limitation, opening up numerous possibilities for increasing player interaction with the environment around them. _______________ ------------------------ This comment was edited by OpTiMe on Apr 18 2005 09:53pm. |

I played the beta weekend a couple of times and I was hooked. A very solid MMORPG, and best of all, no pay-to-play. _______________ When great gentlemens come together in a place. It could happen.

Optime, where do you get your info? I love this game and I'm totally getting it in 10 days but you cannot destroy bridges and there is not 750 skills per class. Also, teamspeak doesn't cost anything. _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Heh. I've been obsessing about this game since last may. However... there are not about 750 skills per class, more like 75. Each character can be two classes, resulting in a fine mix of skills to choose from. The thing with the destroying things: Missions and explorable areas are instanced. This means you are the only ones there. For example, in one mission an evil dude causes an avalanche that really messes things up for you. The game can do that because there's nobody behind you for it to have to not have avalanched for. Did that make sense? It does come out april 28th, but if you preordered and have your preorder access key you can play a day early on the 27th. edit: I will be getting the Collector's Edition as well... i preordered the normal one, but i preordered manually (went to the store and bought it) so hopefully they'll let me take the CE. If not, i'll just buy the CE anyway I really want the soundtrack but the aura seems cool too _______________ Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day... This comment was edited by Trad Redav on Apr 18 2005 06:26pm. |

I've been playin on beta for a while, last night was last beta event. I can honestly say that it has some of the Best graphics I've ever seen. It also doesn't lag down my system that much at all. Game play and story line are fun for when your playing by yourself, lvlin up or farmin. The PvP battles are intense as well. I also like how you can mix 2 professions. Main and seconday, so you keep trying different variations for characters. Great Game. I think you'll be very happy. _______________ Brother to: Tamal, Kavar, J.D.,Jermia, Devlin, Ulic, Xiabara, Seij,Tarron Mib,>>>ROCK ON .My Spacescapes art page.My Everything Else art page. MY FAV.
