Guild Wars

This is a MMORPG that will, supposedly, be free. No initial purchase, no monthly fee. It is made by the people who left blizzard after making Diablo 1 & 2. Did I mention it will be free? Anyway, they are having a first demo at E3, and they are allowing anyone who downloads the 62k client to join in. Will it work? I don't know, but it's free.

I don't even see how they could have so many people on a once, without the "official beta test" most of these online games get. It is only an alpha, so that might give them an excuse. Or maybe it will be all small, instanced locations with few people in each. Hmmm....

Cool!

The 62k file isn't the client, though, it's the installer. Looks like the client is a still-respectable 8 or 9Mb.

I hope I'll have everything up and running enough in my apartment to try this out come E3 time.

How much does it cost?

I don't think you mentioned it. =)

Dammit

Think I missed it. It's too hard to play games while sitting on the floor, anyway.
