There is this one day I was walking on the streets in Berlin. I was wondering by myself, " Arghh.. I am bored, If only there is an online game that is cool but Free as well..All the online games that i see in the stores have to pay monthly payment..that sucks.."
Then as i continue wondering and wandering by myself, as usual I will step my foot inside Karstadt, The Big Mall spread across the city of Berlin, Germany.
Automatically went to the Gaming section, my eyes catches the cool Guild Wars package. The package looks very inviting for gamers to buy. The character and the graphics looks really realistic and somewhat fantasy-roleplaying style.
I flipped the box, 49.99 eur written on the back.
glek! Swallowing my own saliva, it is still expensive! i can wait, maybe in the next 2 months it will go down cheaper.
But then the next 2 months it is still on the same price.
Cannot wait any longer, i decided to buy Guild Wars for 49.99 eur.
The game is worth it for that price.It is a free online game.
But! There is a but! Not like other online games where you are truly online with other player throughout the world, Guild Wars is only connected to other human players while you are in town, and when you decided to form a team, (consisting 5 people only, no more than that), and when you go out of town on a quest, or just forming a team and go out of town and have fun.
But these feature, where other people might see it as a disadvantage, i see it otherwise.So at times when i wanted to play alone and not connected to other human players, i can just go and roam alone on the Guild Wars world and hire NPC mercenaries to go out with me together.
Yes, you can hire those NPC's mercantile for free. And they are available in every town.
And what is nice about Guild Wars, its not just the cool looking character, but the quests are nice as well.The main storyline is also nice.The graphics are fine, and the music is nice.
Too bad the gameplay its not as nice.
The armors and weapons are not as nice, the magics are not as nice, basically the skills are not as nice..
Especially when it is compared to World of Warcraft..Guild Wars gameplay is just far behind..
But then it is for free! What more can you expect?
Even after i moved to Shanghai, China, That Guild Wars game that i bought in Germany (it is multilanguage)can still be played from here.
And i also noticed the difficult Character naming. I mean, I need to have two names for each of my character. that is its name and family name.So you will see a lot of characters in the game that have names like Elektra Mcpherson, or John Strombringer..I think it is quite weird for a computer game character. I would want to name my character something simple and funny or something simple and cool, like Ladywolf for example. Not Ladywolf Henderson...
But I really recommend this game to all of you! It is worth the price!
Guild Wars now has 3 expansions, Guild Wars faction, Guild Wars Nightfall, and the latest expansion, Guild Wars Eye of the north. Each expansion has its own new character and new stories.
However, Guild Wars 2 is launching.And i will definitely get my fingers on that one too!
Guild Wars is now celebrating its 3 years anniversary! log in into their official website and join the competition and get your sweeptakes of laptops etc!
