Guild Wars: Anyone Playing it?
AmericanDemon:
Has anyone taken the plunge to play Guild Wars yet? No monthly cost MMORPG. I would love to start a guild with some people. Let me know!

I've looked at it, and it seems cool. I just don't know if I have that kind of time. The whole "free" thing really caught my eye, though. :)

Yep. I bought it and I can say that so far it's pretty enjoyable. Don't get mislead, though. This isn't a MMO. The only areas that will ever have more than 8 players in them are the "hub" areas where you basically ask people to group up to do missions.
Picture a souped-up Diablo where instead of a Battle.net chatroom, you actually create your groups in certain zones in the game. Other than the hub ares, the max number of people per zone is 4 in the beginning, eventually becoming 8 on later missions.
As far as graphic quality. I'm really impressed. More photo-realistic than World of Warcraft, but it runs just as smooth (or smoother) even on older systems. The interface is pretty intuative, although you may find the abilities/skills acet of teh game a bit confusingat first.
All in all, considering there's NO monthly fee. I say this game is worth it. Guilt-free online fun.
Oh, and here's a link to the official site:
