Guild Wars??

Anyone planning on getting in on this? They're running an open beta during E3 and besides, the game is free...

I am, actually. It looks rather interesting, as it seems to contain both the large scale interactivity of a world full of players, and the small scale party adventure stuff, so not everyone is always competing with you to accomplish things.

Not to mention it's FREE! That's "free" as in "free beer", folks - no subscription fee. Their income from the game is supposed to come from the sale of expansions, so I guess we'll see an ass-load of expansions (a la Magic: The Gathering). Fortunately, people with the old versions will still be able to play in the new areas, they just won't be able to start up the quests in those areas...

Indeed. Plus they actually do the Elementalist correctly. Do you know how many games do the Elementalist correctly? Hardly any!

I'm definately getting into it, if it's any good.
But if it's just a game with a boring grind, or a piss poor action game with a lot of people, then I don't care to much.

Well, the E3 thing is basically a wide-open 3-day alpha test and is completely free. They're planning on doing a beta later which you'll have to sign up for, just like any beta, and when the game is done, you'll have to buy the full version.
The client is dinky - less than 100k - but that means you have to download a ton of stuff from the server before you play. Everything is supposed to be dynamically streamed from their server, and even though I'm still on dial-up, it didn't take that long to d/l the stuff to get myself registered.
I'll try to be there at least a couple of the evenings, as Tech Paradox... Or some other name that has Paradox as the last name...

Its supposed to be a good MMORPG...in that it fixes many things that make other MMOs gay as shit (like treadmilling and such).
I read up on some of the features...sounds like a good time, especially with the no monthly fee.
Can't wait for the E3 promo.

I'll be on around mid-day tomorrow (CST) as Tech Paradox, Warrior/Monk... provided the area downloads don't make my dial-up connection cry to much...
