I just bought Guild Wars last night. It took a while to download off of Steam. I stayed up till it was done downloading, since it was Thursday night and school was already cancelled for snow the next day. So I ended up staying up till about eleven... Like I said, it wasn't a school night. After it was done downloading, I went to bed. I just set up my account and all and I've been playing for about an hour.
I have to say, this game is freaking great.... I mean, really.
I got it for only $20. Since it's from Steam and its straight-to-desktop, there was no waiting or paying for shipping/handling.
Bargain!!
I'm sure it's not as good as WoW or anything, but there's no monthly fee, so I thought it was a good deal. You just buy the disc and get unlimited online play FOREVER with no extra subscription fees. Of course, you can use IRL money to buy things for your character, but I doubt I'll get into that.
I wanted to play an MMO, but I didn't want to commit to a monthly fee.
This is perfect for me.
