Guild Wars

[Occhidiangela]

The game looks very interesting and of course there is a very strong Blizzard connection. (Arena has several of the programming staff who worked on Diablo and other Blizzard games and Gaile from Diabloii.net is their Community Relations Manager).

Of course it might be a bit much taking another game on and it would be down to whether the mods here have enough interest in this game to want to do this

The game is basically a role-playing action game where people can interact in a wide community or split off and go to instanced adventures. Seems a bit like Diablo except with a persistent world replacing the BNet channel

Major Caveat, if time permits, future is uncertain . . .

However, the appeal to me of Guild Wars is that it is not as all absorbing as MMORPG, and has the chance to be consumable in in two to three hour bites by groups of adult who cannot invest massive time in to a massive On Line world.

We would not, be able to be ladder leaders, of course, since like Starcraft, that sort of "leetness" takes a bit of time to build and a certain obsession, uber PC's, Uber connections . . . optimizing all tools for the competitive edge.

So, I'd like to contribute to running such a forum here at the Lounge, but

I will miss the end of the month event due to other plans having priority
My estimate of investable time may be off. Mrs Occhi has plans for my time as well . . . can you say "soffets" and other such mundane words? :D
