GuildWars is out. I got mine yesterday and have played about 5 hours so far and leveled to level 8. I started a Guild called Diablo Legion for future use. If anyone has the game I have Lady Kira Sin, Kira Sin, Doom Catalyst and Holi Moli. The names are all reserved but right now I am playing Lady KiraSin. The problem with the awful lag seems to be resolved because I have not lagged at all. Either that or there just are not that many people with the game so far. xxkarnagexx has the game too. So if anyone else has it or is getting it please post here so we know what your character names are and we might be able to quest. Umm and I may be a little absent from here for a while. I will check in to keep up with my duties.

I wasn't planning on getting it, but my friend wants me to get it because he's starting to get addicted apparently. My OTHER friend wants me to play Spinter Cell though, so I dunno what I'm going to do. The last thing I need right now is to get addicted to another game.

Initially, I wasnt so sure of how this game was going to be.

I've spent a lot of time recently pouring over the game info and screenies, and it looks absolutely beautiful.

The only thing I'm worried about is how well the team will be able to take care of the servers, without the monthly fee.

I'll probably wait for a couple of my friends to buy it, then I'll see if its worth going after.

Well about 12 hours playing time and I am a level 9 1/2. I have played mostly solo with the exception of doing a couple quest with karnage. I am starting to get to the point where my hired henchman are not adequate for the job. I guess I am going to have to start partying up. The game almost forces you to play in teams. In fact, there is one quest early in the game that is impossible if you don't have a partner. I am sure if I had played the Beta more I would be further but I didn't so it is a lot of trial an error The graphics are great and so far the glitches have been minimal. Certainly no worse than Diablos little eccentricities. There a freakin monsters everywhere but none are that tough so far. I have only died a few times and that was always when I walked into a swarm and got overwhelmed.

Well my eyes won't focus anymore so I guess it is time for some sleep!

So how are the items compared to D2? Are there uniqes/sets? Class-spec?

The items are somewhat of a dissapointment. I am early in the game and most of the weapons are about as exciting as a cracked sash. There are blue unidentified weapons but they are not very interesting either. I have found no armor. You can upgrade your existing armor or have new made at the merchants that are int he towns. You can customize your character's looks extensively by using Dye to change colors. You can customize your characters skills by equiping different spells for different situations. (But you are limited to 8 at any one time which is very restrictive when compared to WoW where you can have all your skills at your finger tips). If you find skills that work well together I guess it is not so bad. Your character is locked into a primarey "profession" and a secondary profession. The professions to choose from are:

Elementalist
Mesmer
Monk
Necromancer
Ranger
Warrior

I am currently playing a Ranger/Elementalist. She uses a bow and a skill called Firestorm plus has an enchanted pet that is similar to a panther,

One nice thing is that you are not locked into your skill placement. You have to stay with your primary and secondary proffessions but you can reclaim skill points and therefore change your character attributes to suit new spells that you receive. Spells are usually awarded for completion of quest. Hopefully later in the game the items will get more interesting but that is one major difference between Diablo and GW. Diablo has much more empasis on items. GW has much more emphasis on character skills and spell usage.

Oh and another thing. GW is not a leveling fest. The maximum level is 20. If you make a RPG character you start out at one and have to quest to gain levels. Then you can quest or enter the Arena and PvP. If you just want to PvP, you can select that mode and have an instant Lvl 20 with all the skills available for the professions available and preselected Armors and you can start dueling the best immediately. Most of the PvP is team based with up to 8 man teams (guilds) facing off.
