Guild Wars

[Brista]

I'd recommend waiting for a beta at least

Oh yes definitely.

Still thinking about these things takes a long time and if there is interest now then at least we'll take a look at Beta

Non-random missions won't stay that entertaining forever

It lasted pretty well in Diablo2 :lol:

I still think the main long-term game draw will be PvP

PvP as a top level mode in a game that is absorbing for its grief-free PvE would be fine. Maxxing out a character after 3 weeks then having to hang around bored until someone showed up for a fight would not

there isn't half the fresh content that you'd find in a MMOG like WoW

True. The flipside of this is to ask whether the additional content of pay-to-use MMOs justifies the monthly fee.

I'm honestly undecided. I like it that in MMOs people are far less open about cheating and it seems to be rarer. That to some extent justifies the fee for me. Aside from that I've never played in a MMO or even heard of one where the actual game content added justifies the fee. I don't think Star Wars: Galaxies even came close


In any event, early days yet, I just thought I'd float the idea. There is also Flagship's game which although it probably won't be Beta for ages is likely to interest people here for the Blizzard connection so it could be a mistake to take on Guild Wars if we are going to start another new game next year for that one

Or, more briefly, I guess we should see if the game sucks before starting a new forum for it :lol:
