Guild Wars

I played GW again, with my elementalist in post-Searing. I’m finding it decently entertaining, but not engrossing. I’ll continue to play here and there, to build up a character. I need to decide which is more fun to continue through to the end: hammer warrior or pyro/geomancer — I like them both, but they are completely different play styles. I’m looking forward to seeing some new monsters (besides just renamed pre-Searing monsters), allying with other PCs, and maybe watching some guild versus guild (player vs. player) action.

From what I’m learning, now, GW is more fun in the PvP. I’m told that the game was first designed around the PvP element, and the player-in-the-world mode was secondary. Unfortunately, I got this game to play in the game world, not to death-match other players in an arena.

World of Warcraft

Talking with my friend who has been playing WoW, I’m starting to consider giving it a try. My friend gave me his disks and a code to install and try out the world for 10 days, free. (This is all legal, as the code card is included in the game box with direct permission to pass 10 free days on to a friend.) Couldn’t hurt to take a free test play.
