I played in the beta last weekend, and i have to admit that it is a great game. Just take everquest and make it free. Got to wait another month to play it again *twitches*....i'm not addicted >.> <.<

Guild Wars is pay cost for media, kinda like Never Winter Nights... but to play online is absolutely free. I'm a big free as in speech & beer advocate, so I make it my job to push 'free' stuff to the world. Bottom line is that if a free game is great to play, then why pay for some commericial piece of shit? Competition drives innovation, in turn causing commericial games to be come better. Its a virtous cycle.

When I have time, i'll post a thread about free games (not flash shit, but honest to goodness gamage.).

Playing online is free...but buying the game costs money. It's pretty demanding, the game is, and if your comp isn't top notch (like Geforce 3 Ti, 1.2 gigahertz, blah) you can hardly play it at all. My comp's a 1 ghz with a Geforce 2 MX 400 card in it....and I can't get it to MOVE.

Still it looks EXCELLENT. I think this one would rival World of Warcraft. I wanna be a necromancer!

That's probobly because it's a beta. I could be wrong though, i don't know much when it comes to betas.

Well I got the beta from my neighbour, and I played it at his place. When I try to run it, it lagged a lot, and I can barely make my character move. Still, my comp's an antique in today's standards and I'm waiting for money to upgrade.
