Guild Wars world preview is out!!!!!!

Ok first to get some things down

Why this is on topic: Guild Wars is from the makers of Diablo.
I'm gonna flame this game: Thats nice. You don't have to play it.

Somethings i saw which caught my attention and made me addicted.

Items are "assigned" to a player, its not whoever kills the monster first, or who is the poorest, everyone gets a turn at an item and item drops are random depending on monster. After an item drops it will say who it's "assigned" to.

No need to depend on other players to level like Final Fantasy 11. You can ask a mercenary to come with you 'hunting'. A Mercenary is free, their pay is item drops are less frequent, meaning in a way they get items too.

Its free, one time cost buy in the store.

Like most RPGs you can customize your character and pick jobs such as necromancer...ranger..warrior...elementalist, etc.

You create a guild with other players and do missions with them such as PVP.

When your looking for a party to do a mission with, a party leader has a number above their head with how many people are in their party, 6 is maximum, you just click their name and it will ask the leader if you can join.

Ok so this seems interesting to you? Its free till sunday october 31rst, the world preview is going on RIGHT NOW.

If you wanna play with me my most used name is: Kyle Broflovski
(Names are *first name* *last name*)

Yea, now that I've dled over 250 mb for this game, my dl times aren't REAL big. I just go read or something while it's dling, so fellow 56k users(the one that may exist somewhere) You have about 8 hours of dling before you can actually play then between 10-45 min dling here and there, but it IS worth it.

I'll definately get this game instead of WoW. Well, I haven't tested WoW because I didn't want to pay and all that, but for now, GW > WoW.
