Yep, I'd rather pay a fixed monthly payment instead of being forced to pay separate charges for expansion packs that only reward those who part with their cash, while leaving the rest the fester without the added features that really should have been in the game to begin with.

That whole, paying real money for fictional items isn't new though, PCGamer has a review of a MMORPG that doesn't have a monthly subscription, but instead uses a system whereby you have to pay real money to get items in game. Make money in the game, and you'll be able to covert it back into real money, but it'd still cost more to play than what I'm spending on WoW.

Just thought I'd pop this topic to post a link to the PCGamer forums, where a thread goes more in depth about the kind of billing system the game will use. Oh dear: [URL]http://forum.pcgamer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=62697[/URL]

Well my housemate has just told me he's going to buy it so i can have one of his friend keys and try it out for a short period of time, if it's good i will get it. i just like the idea of a MMORPG that i can just play when ever and not have to think about when i should play it.

I have had WoW for a while but don't want to start off my 30 days as over the next month i am going to be really busy with my dissertation adn finishing uni in general.

But guildwars i will just be able to play whenever

I found it quite entertaining actually, and it surprised me. Mind you, that was only over about a 3 day period, so I don't know what it's like in the long run.
