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.

We should set up a time and place for everyone who wants to play, I've got all day so any time will do me.

I actually went back and completed it this morning, this time with a full sized team. Didn’t seem as hard this time around as our abilities where fairly balanced, where as yesterday it was just me, a warrior and an NPC monk.

I began the second mission but ballsed it up, accidentally quitting half way through and leaving my comrades behind. Must get some playing time in seeing as the game only lasts the next two days, I will be keeping my eye on the full version though, this one is surprisingly good considering I’ve hardly heard much about it.

A bit more character customisation would have been nice, if one word could sum up how my characters looks it would be “Angst”.
