I can't wait. My only regret is reading this almost a month before we are able to try it. I'm going to be thinking about it every day now till I get the chance.

Yeah, a three day alpha test is gonna be sweet, and its memories will haunt me forever. Or at least until the game is released (Yippee! ) Its a risky move - on one hand, it easily brings a lot of attention to the Guild Wars cause, but some players may be put off by its alpha-status (naive people, they are! )
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Its a move thats gonna make it or break it for Guild Wars, and essentially ArenaNet. That said, I'm hoping its going to be a lot of fun for the few days we get to play.
You say you're going to miss many things, but GW Alpha testers have said the game is already nicely coming along. You're not going to be missing player cities... because they aren't any! Buts its going to be great to see how the games coming along.

I dont see who wouldnt be lol and if so why not, its free and its a small download.
I am definetly gonna get the client but its not techincally a small download. Its a small 25k file that will be a updater to a 30meg file. But neway this is gonna rock! I love u ArenaNet
30 meg is small by todays standards. I've downloaded a lot of demos that are easily over 200 megs. The Guild Wars 30 megs is small by comparison ... especially when you aren't forced to download it all at once.
You sure there are no Player Cities?I couldve sworn on my life it said Player Cities,Towns,Castles,Citadels.Hmmmm,ill get back if i find something for ya

It is rather hard to have Player Cities, because most of the areas in the game aren't persistent. I found a quote from the second page of TGH's Interview where it descusses Guild Halls, which will be private areas for their guild:
TGH: Where in the world will Guild Halls be located? Will they be on "public" persistent land masses (e.g. in the towns and cities) or will they be in (semi-)private areas only accessible by the guild members and those they invite?
AN: Your guild hall will be in a private area that is accessible only to active guild members and their invitees. In addition to providing a secure environment for guild meetings, training, and strategy sessions, your guild hall will provide storage for shared guild items, weapons, and armor. In addition to your private guild hall, your guild banner and colors may be displayed in persistent areas where your guild has been victorious, such as the area surrounding competitive arenas, tournament entry points, or even mission outposts.
If I can find the article I read about player houses/cities, I'll try and pass it on.

this is a great game
Once again, I must stress. It's no good praising this game if you're not going well out of your way tell ALL your FRIENDS about this game.
Spread the word.
Force your mates to find out about this game.
CMON!
Good work arenanet, headed in the right direction.
I understand as a gamer that its also my job to get you big sales on your first game so that we can keep the GOOD IDEAS and CONCEPTS GOING:
Down with monthly fees
Up with Anet

No. But I am worried that they might not sell millions of copies because the few that know about it are too busy playing and not spreading the word.
Which would really be bad because the next game would then have monthly fees or they may even not be a "next game".
Spread the word!!!
