Guild Wars, anyone played it?
And if you have, any legit opinions on it? Missed out on a free trial, but I finally looked a llittle more at the games information, and I wouldn't mind trying it out, although I'm kinda iffy on the fact that it's more instance-based than anything, haven't to sit in "towns" where you can communicate with others to start parties, dunno... I'm used to getting invites to raids regardless of where I am. So yeah, looking for opinions...
Or if someone has an account they wouldn't mind letting me borrow momentarily (i have the downloaded game client installed already) that would be cool too.

i'd like to play with you if you end up getting it... it seems ALOT like PSO, which has Ship Lobbies as their hubs with lots of people milling around that lead into smaller instanced Games (Ships and the Planet they're orbiting).

Cool man, and actually...I just won an auction on it lastnight, finally got a decent find and won the bastard...$41+5.99 s/h, 2 lvl 20s..a lvl 14, and a spot for a new character which is what I wanted to use, but it's got some cool stuff on it, got the account info in the mail this morning after paying and requesting lastnight, and still gonna get the box/cds shipped in the next few days. I'll have to find the character names again...
Also just picked up the Quake 4 DVD special ed. on the way home from work tonight...so I don't know how much I'll actually be playing, but, if I get bored with WoW I can drop that, and no monthly fee for GW, w00t.

Well, I just went and made a ranger, used my usual MMO name, just had to space it out..
Lets Get Krunk Other characters on the account are as follow if you wanna add them to yer list.. 14 Monk/Warrior - Healing Reaper 20 Warrior/Elem (or Warrior/Monk) - Mutsu Zatoichi 20 Elem/Ranger - Shinigami Ares No idea what I'm doing with these higher characters, so for now whenever I do play I'll just play Ranger, til I have the time to figure out what these 20s are up to..

Colin and I talked about this yesterday..and since playing the game for maybe an hour or two more since then...if you liked the hack and slash of D2...then this game will be fun for ya.. Pretty simple to get started, and I actually like running out of the town into my own instance of the zone, if you're going on a quest run that you'll require help on, instead of having to find a party of PCs to go with ya, you can add NPC henchmen to your party and then zone out of the town. The only crappy (not too bad though) part about this is even with nothing but 4 NPCs in your 5 man party, a gold drop of let's say 25, will be split 5-way...so you end up with 5, and then 20 gets dropped onto these NPCs, never to be seen again...
Actually, I wonder if the lowly dev-team is making money on the side from that..I'd just program all the gold that gets looted by NPCs to drop into a side account, and then sell it online on one of those MMO gold/account selling sites...those bastards. But yeah, fun game, and no monthly fee, Diablo with an MMO twist.

So, uh Colin, any luck "stumbling upon" a key for the game yet, or are you going to bother trying?
Haven't played much, my actual character I'm leveling is like, 7 or 8, forget.

I played for a few months, got to level 18 I think before I just up and quit. Had a guild going with about 4 people, lol. It's a fun game, and I love that I can just quit playing for months on end and go back whenever I want without worrying about subscription fees. I'll look you up if I ever get back into it.
