Anyone getting Guild Wars? Options

My copy should arrive tomorrow, but I don't know if servers are live yet.

I read up on this game and found it interesting enough to buy.

Sure thing. If I'm able to play tomorrow, I'll post first impressions.

The game is free to play online, and its a game you can pick up and play when you want. I figure if its half as good as it sounds it should be worth it. I like the look of the characters, and I like how the class system works. I enjoy pvp on WoW, Guild Wars might be able to satisfy that need since WoW pvp is not perfect.

I like the idea on GW that you can pick a primary and secondary class, and mismatch them in anyway that fits your style. There is no real advantage or disadvantage to doing so, its mostly a playstyle thing. You get a wide range of abilities and skills, but you can only take 8 with you into battle.


Only thing about the free online things is they going to be charging you full price for expansions ($49.99). And I think they may even charge a few bucks for small content additions that don't require a full expansion too.
