  • These new servers will be the Club Med servers. There will be 2 kinds of players. One will be the rich fatasses on vacation from their jobs on Wall Street. The other will be made up of cabana boys running around bringing them drinks, fresh face t…
  • Each weapon type is its own skill line. There are 4 weapon skill lines at release: Sword, Axe, Hammer, Bow. Sword and Axe are one-handed, Hammer is two-handed. There are weapons for casters (wands, etc), but there are no skills for those.
  • I'd say Ele/War. Definitely something I'm going to try out at some point.
  • That area is part of the Necro profession quest. If you don't have a secondary profession, just go talk to the Necro trainer (just inside the Catacombs behind Ashford Abbey) and she will give you the skills you need. You just need an Animate spell…
  • So, for those of us who don't have a problem playing online games with Chinese gamers, is there a way to try the game before you buy it?
  • It runs on GeForce2 class cards, so it should work.
  • Originally posted by DerfelCadarn Guild Wars has no monthly fee not because alot of expansions, but because the guild wars servers dont host everything. Only launching cities, not the combat areas. In fact, their servers host everything. They just…
  • They have a big gallery of images to choose from. Click here.
  • There aren't really any official guides out yet, so my information is mostly second hand. >> This << is a pretty good description of the various arenas in Tombs though.
  • Well, it would take more than a b.net game I'm guessing. For one, all the content, especially before any CDs are released, is downloaded on demand. And even after it ships any changes will be served up by the host. That's a pretty good chunk righ…
  • 3D glasses FTW! and locked first person perspective - like Daggerfall.
  • Yes, solo you would be getting 0 (zero) transmissions relating to other players' vector information.
  • I thought runes came from armor, and weapon upgrades came from weapons, but I'm not real sure about that. The armor drops can't be used for anything but salvaging, and I've been told the yellow armor drops are more likely to give runes than the gre…
  • Originally posted by Admin You can see where this is going Yes, and if you combine that with an intelligent algorithm that 'predicts' in-game actions rather than setting up a constant stream of updates, the bandwidth savings are even greater.
  • Originally posted by anthrorob As for the technology "break-through" hasn't virtually all new games been touting that line? That isn't going to eliminate maintenance, only reduce it. But that is a tiny wedge of the cost and profit pie. I think th…
  • It's a great question that seems to generate a lot of discussion. In my opinion, it is a fallacy that MMOs can only be supported with monthly fees. Or, rather it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The truth is those games are designed from the ground…
  • I'm new to MMOs, but not to RPGs. My 'shock and awe' experience was with Bard's Tale back in the way back. A friend and I got together when BTII came out and took turns running the party and mapping through that one, and it was a blast. I've been…
  • The loot system works out pretty well if you play for a while. You might miss out on that one big drop and yeah that sux, but it seems to keep things pretty even. Still, it wasn't cool to see a Warrior pick up a nice Blue bow when I'm a Ranger.
  • They haven't actually posted the skills database yet on the official site, since it's still changing pretty frequently. Several fansites have compiled lists though. Check here: GW Vault or here: The Guild Hall Scroll down on the left and find the…
  • In addition to the GvG ladder, there's the worldwide tournament going on in the Tombs of the Primeval Kings. That's a pyramid or single-elimination style perpetual tournament between 8 man teams. Basically you get your group together outside the T…
