One of the huge draws of Guild Wars is the lack of monthly fee. I know a lot of people are drawn to the game because of that fact. It would be a huge mistake for them to introduce one for the next game, and even though I'm sure they won't, I'm another person who simply wouldn't bother playing anymore.
No matter how you try and justify it, I am not going to pay monthly to play anything. It's not even the money issue with me, I'm fine with services like Xbox Live, and I don't even mind micro-transactions and episodic content, but having to pay monthly to play a single game just isn't something I'm ever going to do. |

A lot (if not most) of GW players play because of no monthly fee, they can't afford it and/or don't believe in paying monthly fees for a game.

This is a totally hypothetical conversation, since I have faith that Anet isn't run by retarded monkeys, and therefore understand that their entire business model is based on having no monthly fee. However, I do have something to add.
I would not play any game that had a monthly fee, and would quit GW if it started. This is not because of the money. I have plenty, and the usual monthly fee would mean little to me. It's because of the pressure. Last month I had a number of insane work deadlines, and didn't play GW one second the entire month. I didn't have time to play during the Christmas season, either. Then there are the months that I simply don't feel like playing. Know what's wrong with me doing that with GW? Absolutely nothing. Monthly fees, regardless of how you justify them, means that months you don't play, you're paying for nothing. I don't want to feel like I'm wasting money if I don't want to play a game. I don't want to feel like I have to play a game instead of another one I'd rather play at the moment, because one of them is charging me whether I'm playing it or not. You may say, "just ignore the pressure". That's great. How long can you do that? One month? Three months? No thanks. I want a game that I can play when I want, how much I want, and not if I don't want. I want a game that I buy, and then control. Not a game that controls me. No to monthly fees, no matter how much it would mean got "added" to the game. Like I said, though, this is hypothetical. I'm 100% certain that the whole conversation has nothing to do with GW, now or in the future. |

I have to agree with Rhedd... I could pay a monthly fee if I so chose too...the fact of the matter is that if I wanted to do that I would probably play WoW since it is already established P2P MMO...I don't want to feel as if I have to play a game inorder to justify me spending xx a month...not that I can't afford to pay it, its just "wrong" for me to pay for something I don't use...and we have that now with GW...I don't have to pay anything other than the intial fees for the games...and I don't have to play if i don't want to ...now u start talking about paying for the game and paying for the right to play the game...then i would have to play it in some part each and everymonth just to justify paying xx dollars a month for it....

Where I live we normally don't get our mail til around 3 PM EST, so i guess it's possible that within an hour or two someone on the west coast could still get it, but highly unlikely

some info were release in russia:
GwEn = last of the GW1 / takes palce in ascalon + info of the enquire / some norns and azura to be seen GW2= 5 playable race/ dynamic quest / more interaction with the environement /something about being able to encounter other groups? norns are shapechanger have fun ... and be sure to buy «Игромании» when it is available in your news agent.. to get even more info Восьмого марта сего года по Сети распространилась не подтвержденная официально (анонс был запланирован на 20-е марта, но произошла утечка данных), но вполне достоверная информация об аддоне к Guild Wars, носящем гордое имя Guild Wars Eye of the North, а также о продолжении игры Guild Wars 2. Спешим сообщить, что в ближайшем номере «Игромании» вас ждут сразу две статьи, которые расскажут как о продолжении первой части игры, так и о сиквеле. Но уже сейчас мы готовы поделиться с вами самым интересным: Guild Wars Eye of the North Новая кампания (так разработчики называют аддоны к GW) развернется на территории старого-доброго Аскалона. Мы снова нос к носу столкнемся с племенем Чарр, а также с еще двумя расами Asura и Norn, которые в полной мере раскроют свои возможности только в Guild Wars 2. — Новые территорий, среди которых значатся 18 многоуровневых подземелий (томбов). — 40 новых наборов армора (брони). — Дополнительные 150 скиллов (10 для PvP и 50 для PvE) Ну и, пожалуй, самое важное. В отличии от всех предыдущих дополнений для Guild Wars, которые были ориентированы на все категории игроков, Eye of the North рассчитана в основном на высокоуровневых персонажей. То есть и новички, конечно, смогут поиграть, но, во-первых, им сразу стоит готовиться к трудностям, а во-вторых, в мире хайлевелов им будет не очень-то комфортно. Впрочем, эра первой GW потихоньку заканчивается — Eye of the North это последнее дополнение (выйдет оно осенью-зимой текущего года). Грядет эра Guild Wars 2. Если информацию об аддоне вы уже могли найти и на других интернет-источниках, то вот данные о сиквеле игры, о Guild Wars 2, полностью эксклюзивны. Guild Wars 2 История Guild Wars 2 будет разворачиваться на территории так хорош знакомых поклонникам игры королевств — Крита и Аскалон, спустя несколько сотен лет после событий первой части Guild Wars. Если в первой части была всего одна играбельная раса — люди, то в сиквеле геймерам дадут порулить сразу за пять «национальностей». За людей, за ящероподобных монстров Чарр (основные противники людей в первой GW), за Norn, Asura и Sylvari. И если про Asura и Sylvari пока мало что известно, то вот про Norn... Это настоящие обороти мира Guild Wars. Во время боя они могут превращаться в медведей, значительно усиливая этим свои боевые навыки. Не менее интересна и концепция игрового мира. Разработчики полностью отказались от инстансовой системы, когда для каждой партии игроков, проходящих квест, генерируется отдельная локация. Теперь мир игры един, выходя на задание вы можете встретить на нем множество других партий. Множество изменений появится в социальной структуре, системе боев. Движок так же будет доработан — разработчики рассказывают о возможности использовать предметы окружения в качестве оружия и о многих других «вкусностях». Выход сиквела запланирован на 2008-2009 год. Подробно обо всем этом вы сможете прочитать в ближайшем номере «Игромании», который в конце месяца появится на прилавках. |
