in Guild Wars
..or not yet!
still considering buying the game. after reading the "New to Guild wars?... "guide i decided i wanna start with Prophecies - i like PVE and im not sure how well my pc will run the game.
it seems theres no free trial out there atm. is it possible to get a buddy key from one of you guys?
..or should i just wait for GW2? ill invest in a new computer next summer. gotta finish school first.
Peace, Almeyda

Not sure if they still have them, but for $2 they had a trial cd at game stop that had i think all campaigns that you can try out.
There is indeed a free trial!

And trust me when I say you need nowhere near a beast to run Guild Wars well. The client is excellent when it comes to running on a range of hardware.
ah.. thanks alot
i dnk how that slipped my eager eye
You will most definately enjoy it if you love pve. Just endless pve if your knew and buy all of the xpacs. And you can also release your inner PvP with phonomenal pvp.
The game was originally released about four years ago, so by now, the system requirements would be considered quite low. I can run the game just fine with settings all the way up on my current 2 year old computer, though I turn off shadows because they're annoying. When I bought the game, I didn't have this computer yet, and it ran just fine on my previous computer (2.26 GHz Pentium 4, 768 MB memory, about the worst 64 MB video card there was), though I had to turn graphical settings down.
I'd advise against waiting until Guild Wars 2. Not only could you easily end up waiting a year or two, but there's a fair chance it won't even be as good of a game as Guild Wars 1. If you're concerned as to whether it will run on your computer, the system requirements for Guild Wars 2 will probably be quite a bit higher than for Guild Wars 1.
ive downloaded the game.. but now it seems that neither game or website works..
hmm?
What exactly happens? They both work fine on my side.
www.guildwars.com wont load
and the game cant connect.. whats wrong ? it worked fine yesterday

jesus ******* christ...
Hmm try opening ports in your modem. You can also disable your firewall and try connecting and if you still cant connect well then I suggest you contact guildwars support.
i have no idea about how to do that.. and i cant contact guildwars support because i cant get to the support page.
its a fansite
but the Guild Wars Guru forums have a tech support section
www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/forumdisplay.php
that may help
EQ2 fan sites
The problem got solved by it self... think my internet provider blocked the IP's or something by mistake .. im enjoying the trial at the moment.. pretty cool game
