So, I hear some ex blizzard employees scraped together a mpog. It looks impresive. Hell, and theres even rumours of...It being free to play online ( shhh )

Take a look yourself. http://www.guildwars.com/default.html

the rumors of it being free are not rumors...

the website even says its going to be free and explains why and how

The game sounds very interesting. It seems to address all the reasons that I avoid MMORPGS. I am querulous though about the claim that there is no monthly fee. I found that information stated in non-negotiable terms in the FAQ, but I couldn't find an explanation of why or how. I have trouble imagining how they are going to make their money if they don't charge for a subscription. If someone could point me to the page that explains why and how I would be grateful.

I think it looks good.
But, what I wanna know is how the GMs will handle in-game customer support?

I played EverQuest for a number of years and if you had a problem, most GMs on my server wouldn't move unless you reminded them that you pay to play the game and therefore deserve service. And, even then, they'd complain. Sick, ain't it?

It sounds alot like anarchy online ... i will make sure to check it out ^^

I really, dont play to many mpog's. But this one looks fairly impressive and its free. I'm expecting a large audience to attend, with lots of diversity amongst the players.

The free thing might become revolutionary.
Hope it catches on.
I like the fact that it will work with instanced playfields.

I know most people who play MMORPGs are playing Warhammer, LOTRO, or WoW for the most part, but do many people still play Guild Wars? If anyone here does please post on of your characters names so I could possibly add you to my friend list. My main character is Rher the Just.
