One year ago, during E3 2004, I had the pleasure of testing Guild Wars for a couple of days, an online multiplayer game created by Arena.net, which was founded by ex-Blizzard members. Although still in Alpha stage, I was impressed both by the graphics and the fundamental principles of the game alike, which represent an innovation in the online gaming genre from many points of view. Just as the producers describe it on the official website, Guild Wars is a CORPG (Competitive Online Role Playing Game), which still borrows some specific MMORPG features, but don’t think that this is just like World of Warcraft of EverQuest 2.
