Spent some time trying the Guild Wars beta demo and now at least I know, online is not for me. First two attempts with a group, but there seemed to be a committee meeting every 5 seconds about either trading or tactics; who, what, where and how. (C'mon guys, get a move on and let's fight dammit! I have things to do, places to go, not least of which is going cycling with the dog standing crosslegged at the door (well, I do the cycling, my dog can't reach the pedals)). Is it always like this? It was a pity because the game itself, while linear, wasn't too bad at all, and if it was RPG I'd preorder tomorrow. I could just about imagine that with a regular group of friends who all knew each other's gaming preferences, tactics etc., that it would be okay. Maybe I just was unlucky with the groups I had, or maybe it was just me, but I don't think I'll be playing online anytime soon. At least now I know! :)
