Guild Wars kicks _ASS_. Hard. Wearing an exomech and using High Sorcery.

Not that I like it or anything.

I might be tempted to give it a go, but with no Linux or MacOS versions, it sucks bigtime.

Actually, I browsed some thru the site, and havent found system requirements. From the screenshots thought and the fact that is fairly new game I think that my olde graphics card wouldn't be enough.

And it doesn't have Linux client...2

Ok here are the specs strait from the main site:

Thanks for the info Stealth Dragon.

Haven't decided if I will pick it up yet, still having lots of fun in City of Heroes. And with Emilie only being 9 weeks old, it doesn't leave a lot of time for playing on the computer.

I'm playing Guild Wars too...

Aussies/New Zealanders: http://www.anzgw.com

Currently I'm focussing on my "Anonymous Coward X" character - Elementalist/Mesmer (as of writing, up to the "D'Alissio Seaboard" mission)


Guild Wars looks fantastic, runs fairly well on a relatively old system (Athlon XP 1800, Radeon 9600XT, 1.5GB RAM), even with most of the graphics up fairly high. (4x FSAA, 1280x720, Reflections, Textures, and Landscapes set to high)

And yes, I'm running it on widescreen, because I've now got a widescreen aspect ratio LCD Panel.

Guildwars rules!!!

I'm having great time, looking for skillz so I can kick ass.  One of the most statisfying aspects of the game in my opinion, you gotta play to learn the skills, you just don't get them for grinding levels.

BTW, this is just a small tip, if you are starting the game, do all the beginning quests for all the secondary professions, you'll gain more skills that allow you to diversify.   The elementalist skill that heals you as you cast spells is uber useful on lower levels.
