Those of you that have been on this forum for a while might remember a thread I did a while back on the MMORPG Guild Wars. Yes, it's the first MMORPG to have NO MONTHLY FEES. That got me interested straight away but now, the game will be available to play throughout the weekend in a World Preview, where the most of the world will be able to connect and play the game throughout the weekend. Gamespy have put up a download for the game client along with every other bit of information that's known about this game:

I downloaded the game client, which I then opened and had to download loads of files but it was only 9MB in the end. You have to sign up for an account and it took me about 1 minute to do it. So if any of you download it, post on here and maybe we can play together.

just been playing it again,

They have made some good changes since the preview, the guild banners are now cloaks instead of bibs, a few graphical things tweaked and you can choose to start as lvl 1 or 15 when you create a toon.

Stick your e-mail in, and you'll get a code.
If you are not a paying member, then you'll get an error saying try again soon, priority goes to complete members - however - they still sent me a key, and I'm not a payer.

Try it!

I won't miss out this time :D!

Good to hear, though after some reading I found that the Free Weekend only showcased a little of what's available in the full game, and those missions you could complete weren’t even the beginning of the game.

Hell, even as a cut down taster this game was sweet, I can only imagine what the full version will be like.

Have they even stated an estimate to when they would release the full version instead of giving us small tasters every few months? E.G Q4 2005?
