GameSpot has interviewed 'Guild Wars' Producer Jeff Strain.While role-playing games have traditionally been about using swords to fight orcs to gain experience points and money, ArenaNet's upcoming Guild Wars will have a slightly different focus. Yes, you'll be able to play as a fantasy-themed character with access to swords and bows and magic spells, but you'll be playing online, either exploring hunting grounds with friends, or going head-to-head with other players, pitting your skills against theirs. Last weekend, players from around the world were able to try out the game in ArenaNet's "world preview event." And this weekend, GameSpot members will be able to play through an even more-expanded version of the game. Producer Jeff Strain provides more details on the upcoming event, as well as on the game's single-player content, its items and crafting, and on the game's future. |
