Guild Wars Launches [Apr 28, 2005, 11:52 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Today marks the official launch of Guild Wars, ArenaNet's free-to-play MMORPG:
Thursday 28 April 2005/... ArenaNet®, creators of the highly anticipated online roleplaying game Guild Wars®, and NCsoft® Corporation, the world's leading developer and publisher of online computer games, today announced that Guild Wars is available at retail in Europe, North America and Australia.
Guild Wars is the ultimate global online RPG, a transporting experience that transcends the boundaries of geography, technology and language. Play with anyone, anywhere, at any time and there's no subscription fee required. Guild Wars immerses players in a colorful, robust and detailed online fantasy world where success is determined by player skill, not by the time spent playing.
"By bringing together the best elements of action, roleplaying and massively multiplayer games we have created a unique gameplay experience that appeals to casual and core players alike," Mike O'Brien, ArenaNet co-founder said. "Players throughout Europe, North America and Australia will now be able to compete in the Guild Wars world together."
Players must select eight of the more than 450 available skills to build competitive characters for each battle. Challenging gameplay forces players to use their heads and make good decisions in a brains-over-brawn battlefield. Dramatic guild challenges, tournament play and arena combat provide a unique game experience each time players log on.
Its really ignorant to believe that a world needs to be persistant for it to be an MMO and with out persistants, its not.
Most retarded statment in this thread, grats
Guess thinking action games need action is ignorant too, so fucking dumb im not even going to go into this more.
Nit pick as you will, and i'm sure you will...
Listen asshole, dont post some shit from wikipedia and expect me to take it as gospal, what the fuck does that place have to do with our discussion. Diablo and nwn have been called mmorpgs? Ok what does that have to do with anything? Oh wow some retard said something dumb lets quote it as truth !
Saying GW is not a MMO is like saying a cat with only 3 legs and no tail is not a cat because its missing a few parts.
A better analogy is saying grand thef auto san andreas is a rpg because it has a few rpg elements. Retarded all the same.
World of Warcraft has instance dungeon such as Blackrock Depths or Scholomance. SO that must mean its not a MMO!!
No it's a mmorpg even though it has instancing because IT HAS NON INSTANCED AREAS YOU DUMB FUCK.
