I'm not very familiar with it other than what I read like a year or so ago.

Is it going to cost when the full version comes out as it's just in beta now (from what I can decipher)?

And how's the gameplay in it?

I think Blizzards graphics in WoW are amazing. You have to see that its a different type of artwork. Blizzard's art is more cartoonish, and if you think of it that way its very very good. There is a reason WoW has 1.5 million subscribers. Its not all about artwork. Look at Halflife and the mods we play for all these years.

Guild Wars and Lineage 2 (NC Soft) look very similar graphic wise and its very nice. But their art is more... realistic. Lineage 2 was beautiful but the game was terrible. Looks like Guild Wars will be good. Their main draw is being free.

ok, here's the breakdown:

Guild Wars is NOT free, here's why... you pay "retail cost" for the software, just like any other game... but the monthly subscription? thats free, because it doesnt exist... you pay only once for the game. but there will be expansion packs in the future, but you do not HAVE to buy them to continue playing! thats awesome! so yeah, the first ever Free MMRPG@!!!!

Playablity:

Guild War's focus is more on PvP than the normal RPG, but the RPG story is great, and its well worth it to buy just for the story!
the PvP combat is sweet. I've played in two BWE (Beta Weekend Events, they have one a month till release). The game will be released April 28th. next BWE is the 15th. The graphics are sweet. I have a Athlon 2200 XP, GeForce FX 5200 128mb, and 768 mb ram, and it runs sweetly at medium/high settings.

Guild Wars is made by ArenaNet, and the guys who made Diablo, Diablo II, and Diablo II expansion (guys from Blizzard) so you know its going to be a high quality game. My advice, preorder before the next BWE, play the next BWE, and if you dont like it, you've only paid $10 but trust me, you'll like it if you're into RPG's.

If you have any other questions, post them here, i'm making this the official Mujo/Guild War's thread! lol. If you are interested in Joining me and my bro's guild PWKWP (pretty white kids with problems) send me a pm . we're not into Hardcore stuff or anything, just a bunch of guys to play together and play through the missions, im not sure if we're going to get into the PvP aspect too much, who knows.

thats all for now folks.

I've played it, I'm going to buy it too. I like the way it's made - I've played WoW and I didn't see why it costs almost $200 a year USD... It's really not worth it to me personally.
