Just in time for the World Preview Event, PC.IGN has kicked up a hands-on preview of ArenaNet's 'Guild Wars':Guild Wars is an interesting game for several reasons. The biggest one of these has been well publicized, but is worth mentioning again. This is an MMO without a subscription fee. That's right, no monthly charge to jump on the servers and play, which surely has several gaggles of gamers bouncing around happily. ArenaNet and publisher NCSoft are hoping that the game has enough appeal, strategy, and polish to keep players coming back for more. They're also hoping these players will like the game enough to go out and buy the expansions that will extend the story, add new content, and increase playability. Only time will tell. |
