Just preordered with help from a US Friend. Cost me RM200. If it is indeed better than WoW, and my wife likes it. We will switch, until our connection to WoW improves.

Guild Wars really really blew me away - Im eating my own words now. This game certainly surpassed my expectations. The teaming and combat system is just awesome! Group Vs Group/NPC Mob groups has never been so fun! No lag either, you can chain use skills in combat.

So uh.. you think your store might have the european version anytime soon? wink.gif

There's no difference. There is a Preorder (With a special item), and retail version. Gamer's is saying they stock the Retail (No in-game item gift).

ALL versions can access European/North American servers - Arenanet will allow you to move server location 5 times only. Currently there are 2, Europe and US. Also note, ALL players can see each other regardless of the server location you opt for.

So if I was in Europe and ALKT chose the US server, we still can party and chat. The server choice is just to let Arenanet manage bandwidth and allow you faster downloads.

This is THE GAME. Please, read my APR 28 entry of my blog. Click on my sig. It's regarding Guild Wars.

What I like most is:

1. Character - I make my character exactly how I want. For xample a Protection Monk/Fire Mage , or Warrior/Mage, etc.

Thus, being paladin me I can be:

Tactics Warrior/Healing Monk (Template paladin) or Strength Warrior/Air Mage (Archangel) biggrin.gif

2. Skill chaining.
In WoW, you have to wait for the server to return the information that the skill has already been cast, other wise you get "Another skill is being cast" or something like that. In GW, you can hit your next skill before the first one has been cast.

3. Teaming.
You can assign a target, and everyone can just press "T" and it will attack the target you have designated as the group target. Plus, no more pulling! It's all mass battles baby!

4. Intercontinental Guild Wars
America vs Europe Vs. Korea. Guilds that win for their home country (Cant remember how many times) will invoke the favour of the Gods.

^ wow where is that??

btw anyone know how to learn 2nd profession as monk

i ve found the person that teach you but he never say anythign about learning becoming a monk
*
It's an area near Yak's Bend. To get your second profession, during pre-searing, you will be given a primary quest to search out the respective secondary class trainers. These's trainers will give you 2-3 spells to 'test out' smile.gif

To be a monk, speak with the guy, name starts with S something, stands next to Tydus in Ascalon. He will give ask you what class you wish to further explore, you select Monk. The quest then sends you to Devonna in a nearby village, she then sends you to Brother Mhenlo in the catacombs. There you have a short quest to keep a guy alive..... while his life is degenerating over toxic water.

how's the connection to the game server?

The first time you enter a new zone, you will download the area. It's fast, like 100-150kbs. No lag.

It's not what you think, the servers aren't 24/7 streaming. It's more of peer-to-peer. The servers are just there for you to download faster, and to keep your character.

Does character in this game have trade skills like mining, fishing, blacksmithing, herbalist, alchemist and the likes?

No, there are any trade skills. No one is a merchant.

Fliz = Lag ? This game technically should not lag. Explain more about your problem here ?
