GamePlay Monthly has kicked up a preview of ArenaNet's 'Guild Wars'. Here's a sample:Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the grind of games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go take on a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy or intense of the quest map, so
camping, kill-stealing, and other annoyances are all things of the past. Within each quest you are given a great amount of freedom and ability to manipulate the world around you. One example is using magic to build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and rip the ground apart. |
