Guild Wars Gone Gold, Previewed

Guild Wars, the first offering from NCSoft subsidiary ArenaNet, has gone gold. A preview of the game based on the last weekend of the Beta is available at 1up.com. From the article: "Once the wonder started to wear off, a creeping hangover of disorientation replaced it. Still standing there slack-jawed, the bustle of people going here and there with purpose made us suddenly aware of how clueless we were. Gathering our senses we fell into the familiar pattern of talking to the residents and picking up the quests of the day." Guild Wars is a unique MMOG offering, as it will not require a subscription cost, has almost no grind, and will focus on organized PvP. The game releases next Thursday, the 28th of April.

    Hopefully some of the immature gankers in WoW will go to Guild Wars and stop bugging me.

    Not likely. Though one can only dream. I might go back to WoW if the idiots from battle.net leave.

    I can only take the, "OMFG U n()()b GTFO if U dun kno how to pl4y", "1 4M R0X0R 733T 534R", "noob noob noob" comments for so long before I feel like I'm back in a battle.net chat window.

    Maybe this game will be fun. I just got Matrix Online, and that game sucked.
