| Guild Wars I was browsing in my local Game shop today and in the PC section came across a game called 'Guild Wars' it looks fab! I thought I would see what you guys think of it before purchasing it, im a fussy buyer. So for anyone who has played it, Is it a good RPG? Like Balders Gate or any other PC RPG that you know? and finally, Do u reccomened it? Thanks guys. |

| Re: Guild Wars Guild Wars is a pvp-oriented mmorpg, which means you'll (at some point) be joining a guild of random people to do battle with other random people. From what I understand, the maximum level is 20, so it's not as much of a pain in the ass to build up as it is in say, world of warcraft. I played it briefly in a free trial they had awhile ago, and I can at the very least say it's nothing like Baldur's Gate. Also, at some point, I know they had trial packages you could either buy ($5 or so) or download to sample the game, so you may want to go that route, too. You can visit the game's official site for more information: http://www.guildwars.com |

| Re: Guild Wars It's not just pvp oriented, the pve part is significant too(since that is the only part I play). Good graphics, and they fix bugs and other problems regularly. It is a good RPG, though some poeple do not consider it a true MMO. There is an expansion pack out now, and you don't need the origional to play it. It already had a thread on chronicles. (here) IF you do get it, and need any help, just contact me here or in game, I'm Mara Sadow (lvl 8 N/M) or Lin Sabel (lvl 12 R/N). |

| Re: Guild Wars Did you know that they give you a present on your accounts "birthday"? I didn't, but I looked in my inventory and there were birthday presents in it. (right next to the spiked eggnog and presents from Wintersday) Yay presents! |
