Guild Wars Free Preview

Guild Wars is having a Free 'World Preview' event starting 10/29/04. This game will not be having a normal 'Beta' process; instead, there will be many of these preview events (about once a month, from what I read).

This game is by the original Diablo II team, for those interested. Also, this game is not quite a MMORPG, and the best part is, there's NO monthly fee.

Oh I've been waiting for this ever since e3 for all ended and even moreso when I saw the guild wars banner with a countdown timer on it on this other gamesite like 10 days ago. I'll definatly play this one. When I played the e3 for all event, I loved every second of it.

Now being able to lvl up and having the new areas is awesome. Best of all are the teambased pvp games, IMO the best in any MMORPG so far.

but why...why do I have to have 1st period exams in the same week?

I will be playing it. Looks interesting. Thanks for the link Volls.

One of the fan websites made a guide for first timers. You can get to it here:

I played the E3 for all event; I wasn't particularly impressed.

You are going to be banned so don't bother.

Just keep posting like that and my guess is you will never get an avatar...

everyone hates nubs on forums.. when i signed up for d2jsp i got blamed for begging and spamming when i didnt, i was posting a trade lol.. and i got banned on 2nd fucking day.

Woo it already started! Who's playing (going to)?

Downloaded and waiting

I created the char and am now downloading vital game files .

This seems to have indeed started early. I just made a character, and am downloading patches...

We'll see if we get to actually play.

I'm in. Game is UP, NIQQAZ!

Game on. I'm in.

Graphics look amazing.

I claim first screenshot!

Not maxed graphics, etc...

If I remember correctly they did the same thing at the e3 for all event, starting a day early.

I'm playing it right now and it seems the old characters from the e3 for all event were all saved, just too bad all the items and stuff are gone .

So far I really like the look of the first new area where you start in. Gogo warrior henchman

Meh, here is a necromancer. This is on a shitty integrated 64 mb vid card wif lowest graphics, still look how good it looks.

Downloading right now. It looks sweet.


edit:Its downloading slow as heck, I love the button for minimizing the game.

donate for my gfx card please!

The graphics are excellent but holy fuck is the gameplay bugged. The death penalty is absolutely retarded. After you die and your partner runs out of revives, all you can really do is sit there.....dead... doing nothing..

After playing for maybe an hour to an hour and a half voll and I said fuck it. Till they improve this game i woudln't buy it.

The fights are slow, and boring as all holy hell too.

Forming the right parties is very important. If you dont have anybody to revive than you should've thought of bringing along a monk. Also have you tried pvp or buying new spells and stuff?

Yeah loading is slow :S Dont know why, maybe because everyone is loading or something. I dont recall having this problem at the e3 for all but hopefully it will be gone tomorrow.

I agree with volls when he says the fighting is slow.
