Is anyone playing Guild Wars at all for the the free preview that's running from now until Sunday? I've just had a play for the last hour and it's pretty cool 
Let me know if you are - and maybe we can form a party or something?

I'm enjoying it so far It's great just to boot up occasionally and you don't have to sit playing it every waking minute.
I'm playing as a Ranger/Warrior at the mo...with the highly original name of Adam H, so if you see me...say hello

| Hey! We should get together and do a quest or something! Great idea, yes? Snarkpit clan! |
i could be encouraged.. is this thing free or what?
[addsig]
Oooh no monthy fee huh? Temptation rising...
[addsig]Exactly I was only interested because it has no subscription fees - and luckily its damn playable too!
Like I said earlier, if anyone is playing later, add me to your 'Friends' list and we'll have to form a 'Snarkpit' party or something CJ was online last night but we were both in the middle of a quest and couldn't meet.
edit: If anyone does end up playing...stick your character name in this thread so I can add you to my 'Friends' list
well, dollars and cents are extremely tight around here, so i expect a full report on the gameplay of this thing before i will commit to buying it.. with saving for HL2 and a new card.
i'm off to birmingham today, so.. slay on ye weary adventurers.
[addsig]Orph...it's not available to buy until next year. They're just running a preview for the next few days.
Gameplay is similar to Diablo - not overly complex like Everquest (which I played for about 20mins before uninstalling). You simply join a party and go off on some adventure Graphics are really nice and the controls are nice and simple too. It's streamed so they can add new features/quests/events really easily so there will always be new things to do.
In fact, the closest thing I can compare it to is the multiplayer aspect of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance on the PS2, but with more scope.
[addsig]ok ive already played css for about 10 hours the last two days so thisll be something different
my name is Yak Fighter
). I'll be around at 4:30ish...
[addsig]Thanks for the info adam.
Ive heard about the game and really wanted to try it.

Well the trial is now over and I really enjoyed the game. Looking forward to the release early next year so I can level my Warthog up even more....he's tougher than my own character!
CJ started a Snarkpit guild too so hopefully it will be retained for the game's release Cheers to CJ and Yak for adventuring with me too...even if Yak did need resurrecting too many times!
