Guild Wars - CounterFrag preview
Guild Wars beta weekend

official page screenshots and more


Guild Wars is an action based MMORPG. Guild Wars merges the fast paced gameplay of Diablo with massive online role playing games. Competitve team based PvP makes Guild Wars the deathmatch of online role playing. There is far less focus on leveling in Guild Wars leaving room for fun. Guild Wars does not require a monthly fee making it an appealing choice to many gamers. This game was created by ex-Blizzard employees -- the guys behind Diablo and the original Warcraft games. In many respects Guild Wars is the real World of Warcraft.

Why Guild Wars will own World of Warcraft

"Strain was one of the original leads for World of Warcraft , but found that he did not quite want to design just another MMORPG based on the Warcraft series. And O'Brian's ideas for multiplayer were really motivational. ArenaNet's list of key designers read like a who's who of classic Blizzard titles, including Starcraft , Warcraft III , and now Worlds of Warcraft . Along with Strain and O'Brian are James Phinney, who was the lead designer of Starcraft ."
