Guild Wars Gone Gold, Previewed

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 22, 2005 @05:54AM from the get-your-subscriptionless-mmog-action-here dept.

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.

Im sick of people comparing this to WoW. Its not a mmorpg, therefore its not close to being like WoW.

So when the majority of the game isnt instanced, and you can actually come across real people that arent in your party in the game world, then you can compare it to WoW...
