Guild Wars Factions Preview Event

[agentgray]

You can play part of Guild Wars Factions for FREE this weekend. From the Guild Wars website (http://www.guildwars.com/):

Join us the weekend of March 24th for the FactionsTM Preview Event! This will be your first chance to visit the breathtaking continent of Cantha, the newest world of the Guild Wars saga. During the event, you will get the chance to play roleplaying and player-versus-player characters, and to pursue a variety of gameplay options, including story missions, competitive missions, and a new form of PvP called alliance battles!
Some EA Guild players are meeting up this weekend at various times in the evenings. Show up and some of us will show you around.

How do you get to alliance battles?

I've got it on preorder... I'm kinda looking forward to the assassin class... but Oblivion just feels so much more worthy of my time right now. I guess I ought to check out the RP side of things to see if it's worth the $50 though. It'd be a no brainer up to $30.

I played for about 15 minutes earlier. Would've played longer, but it took too long to download new areas and Oblivion beckoned. :p Still, looked good. I'll probably pick up Factions eventually, this summer maybe.

I wish this news didn't come out Saturday evening. . . and that I had read it before now.

Oh well. Time to go study. For real this time.

I've got to be honest. After playing it for about 4-6 hours, I had to go, "meh"

However, I imagine that the new skills and classes will shake things up, but it just didn't catch me like Prophecies did. (For the record, I have over 400 hours in Prophecies. Not much, but enough.)
