    Guild Wars

    Who else is going to be playing this when they turn on the servers tonight at midnight? Everything I've read about this sounds great. A no fee MMORPG, plus innovative gameplay. Can't go wrong with that, so I picked up my copy on my lunch break. Anyone play in the beta?

    Off of the FAQ at guildwars.com

    Will there be a subscription fee for Guild Wars? Are there any other fees, such as for patches or updates?

    There will not be a subscription fee of any kind, anywhere in the world and there are no hidden fees. You will not have to pay for the streaming updates that will take place on a regular basis, nor for additional content that we will provide between the chapters of Guild Wars.

    Had fun with the betas, and tried logging into the game tonight (I preordered the game, so I have early access).

    For some reason, things are a tad choppy on my XPS2 laptop at 1680x1050 resolution, and the system actually restarted itself (not sure if it was a bluescreen Windows error or not.

    .......hopefully that was just a one-time glitch.

    [EDIT] Nope, not a bluescreen -- I do have the option to "automatically reboot" disabled.

    Cant find the box and preorder.... Duh, it's all in the box! Now wheres the box? The game is for sale at frys, right? Hopefully they have it marked down $10 like usual. Either way Im in ASAP.

    Lets all go the same server if possible. It's good to have some friends in these things.
    I'm going to call myself Legolas. Ha ha j/k. Well unless the name is open and then...

    Btw, who plays and knows the easiest class/combo to play or the most effective. I beta'd for a few hours and have no idea. Tank or archer preferrably.

    TIA

    On sale for $40 at Frys in Anaheim, CA. I lost my preorder receipt, but the cashere said I could bring in both for the price adjustment.

    What server, CAnt? I know you want to play D&D with your good friend the jelster.
    Who else is in?

    FYI, you can also instantly play uber characters for dueling. You cant use them for adventuring though. The characters you build up, you can use for either.

    So.. Has anyone played enough to give a decent review? .. I thought of purchasing it .. but Im afraid it will be just as Lame as all of the other MMORPG out there.. But I guess its atleast free.. per month.. so thats a plus.. in a way.

    I played for about 5 hours. I got through the intro portion of the game where you learn basic skills and go on preliminary adventures. Great graphics, fun gameplay. I made a mistake on not doing enough side quests so that when i left the training thing my guy was kinda under powered but hopefully I can deal.

    Not bad... got to level 5 ranger. No sub yet cuz I couldn't figure out which one to go with. Most likely Illusionist... I have a big pussy cat for a pet.
    Warrior/Monk is the most popular and easiest from what I read. Rangers supposedly suck but whatever. I don't know what server they threw me on. The game just started after I loaded it and there I was. Nice graphics. Still a little buggy but not too bad.

    I don't know how much time I'll have to play this weekend. Lots of stuff I'm supposed to do.

    I am called Guild Death. I know I know, but Legolas was taken and if your playing, your already a geek. Also I couldnt find a last name I liked for Guildo so I picked that instead.
