Try it now!
It’s one of those MMORPG thingys which usually I wouldn’t even touch with yours.
But out of curiosity, and with the urging of my mate Fruity, I downloaded the client and fired it up. And I have to say that on a first glance it rocks.
I’ve often been sceptical of this kind of thing. I’m not happy with the standard “buy the game (which you can only play online) and buy the time online to play the damn thing” scenario.
But this seems to be different. There are no monthly fees (no extra fees at all actually) and it just costs the price of the game. I know that there are similar games which are free to download and use (KnightOnline and Planeshift spring to mind) but there are nowhere near the quality of GuildWars.
I’ll keep playing this over the weekend, but as far as first impressions go I’m already hooked.
Payday is this Thursday. I know what I’ll be buying.
