Guild Wars, Anyone else play? Options

[Wolfie]

SO i got Guild Wars a loooooooong time ago, but for whatever reason it didn't work. Now it's arbitraily decided to work, without any alterations to the computer. So i was just wondering if anyone else here played

Olav,
It is a delightful combination of both. You start out in a greenland and play solo until you hone your skills to a certain level. Then you are pitted against the invading enemy and go through something called The Charring - in which the beautiful greenery is totally scorched by these huge firebolts that burn the land and leave behind these pits with the remnant cyrstalbolts sticking out. Very ugly.
Then eventually you go over the mountains up to greener lands again.

After the charring, at anytime you have a choice of whether to fight alone, with a party of "mercenery" NPCs, a real party of other players or a mixed party of player/merceneries. It is really cool and at different gates and at different times it is more beneficial to choose real players/NPCs/go it alone.

I hope you will give it a try. It is great fun and it is free online. In fact, it was the first MMORPG since Diablo to be free of monthly payments and it has started a trend amongst the other mmorpg's of giving 1 year free trial (Anarchy Online), Shadowbane has gone completely free now (until it crashes-no maintenance will be done to the server), free 7days with Dungeon & Dragons, .... go to www.mmorpg.com - - - and check out what's going on. Everybody seems to be getting on the freebie train now. Yay!! Way to set a trend, Guild Wars.
