WOW (hehe) - is this MMORPG huge or what?!?! I have seven chars, but have travel around the whole world for the first time now... and I must say I'm impressed. Blizzard have done a great job!!!

I came from EQ2 but don't spend any time there now. WoW is so much better, in many ways... but that's my personal opinion... :roll:

I saw some of the bootleg versions in the shopping malls going for US$3. It is called World of Warcraft Offline. Seems that you setup your PC as a server and play WoW.

don't got it yet, maybe tomorrow or wednesday, and i don't have any
time till thursday, but thursday i've no school , i've got a notebook too,
with 1,8 ghz and 512mb ram, but with a ATI igp340m with 64, dunno if
it's good, but some told me it's more an office graphics card and not
useful for playing :roll:

You might be okay. It's not quite an office card, but its not exactly a geforce 6800 either =)

Hmmm... Bought "Guild Wars" online yesterday, but you can't really compare GW with WoW. I don't think Guild War is a real MMORPG i.e,

* You can only see online characters when you are in a town etc or your party members when you quest, so it's a sneak MMORGP

* GW is linear, very linear... Follow the path!

* What I can see - you have no craft skills? or?

* The PvP area is very small and nothing like the real game

* It's very short between areas (loading and decompressing)

* No "real" citys and stores

* The npcs are... hmmm... well, how can I explain?! More static then in WoW - and don't talk...

* and much, much more that are missing

but... It wasn't so expensive, so what the heck...

and maybe it gets better in the future...

EQ2 and WoW can be compared - GW we have to compare with something else...

:roll:

One last word - I have to admit that GW have rather crisp and nice graphics!!
