    Im not sure if any of you tried this game about a month back they had it open for 3 days during E3. I played it for 2 of those days and was very impressed. At that time you were stuck at level 15 and only had about 20 skills/spells each class, now they have added much more content and the ability to start a guild even if its just for 3 days. One of the better game engines in use today. Great PvP and decent PvE enviroments combined.

    Cool. This sounds like front page news. I'll write something up and add it. I always like to help support the underdog. :-)

    Wow... my first real post and it gets front page news... sniffs.... think i got sand in my eye..sniffle. /em blows a huge snot bubble from his nose.

    Anyways that would be great. Been a game i been keeping a eye on for a while now. I do thinks its gunna be a success for the type of game it is. Great game for friends to join up and make a guild even if its only like 5-6 of em. Nothing like fighting together to gank real life players in arenas. Teamspeak would be the ultimate for this game. I won a few matches with random people before but with TS it would of been 10x easier to have some communication. Btw this game is not a PvP gank fest like most other PvP games, there will be no - lalala sitting around and BAM your dead cause you didnt see the lvl 10000 guy sneak up and cast a single spell on your ass. This is all about team playing and you dont pvp till your in group and ready for it..... DISCLAIMER: thats how it was when i played it before! May have changed.

    Things i liked and stood out, almost no travel time from zones, you have a huge map and on the map it shows all the places youve been and you just have to click it and bam your there. You do have to travle to the new places for them to be added on your map, no biggy tho. Again like i said its PvP and PvE that can be done Solo or in a group of 2-? not sure how many they will have. Some of the quests we great fun. The game engine its fantastic, if you look in the screenshots section youll swear they are rendered images from a movie... but there the real deal. Thing i always hated about other MMOs was you always needed a group or more to do anything, not with guildwars, i spent a great deal of time exploreing and soloing in zones MADE for just YOU. Like tradeskills? Lots in this game. Multi-class system, you can be a half breed of whatever 2 classes you want, when i played i was a Warrior-necro, which means i was 75% warrior and 25% necro which was great cause with Life taps i could heal myself and slow/cripple/DoT the mobs. You can choose to go the other way as in a Necro-warrior, 75% necro with 25% warrior. Basicly your stats adjust to fit your classes but its takes twice as much mana to cast you second class spell/skill. So if i was a warrior-necro and normal a necro life tap is 5 mana it costs me 10 mana BUT hell i can use the spell even tho i still can tank the shit out of anything. It works out great.

    The bad things, I have to fucking pay for it when the final game launches..... but then after 4-5 years with EQ that hole is well worn in and self lubes now. The learning curve is rather steep if your someone not acustome to MMOs, but they may have a better tutorial now. About all i can think of besides alot of 10 year olds that play it just for the fact they think it will be a pvp gank fest.
