if it was a mission that you successfuly completed and there were items lying around it gives them to you automatically (a reward inventory comes up and you can hit "accept all" or wait a moment if you need to clean out your inventory).
as for dis, you can use "whisper" which is like a PM or you can switch (it takes a hell of a lot to fill up but dis 1, LA did at the last hour of march beta.)

Most of the people here have probably read this, but for the original poster and any others who haven't, there's a great article on IGN in which Jeff Strain gets into all the nuts and bolts of the technology behind Guild Wars. Very detailed and pretty fascinating stuff. A good read for anyone (and they are out there) who think that ArenaNet doesn't know what they're doing.

I have to disagree with this. The Xbox fixes all your gripes. It runs Linux uses usb and %50+ of the games are online. $50/yr for xbox live and they offer voip with every online game. It is a console computer for less than $150 + $50 for the online portion.

A final note. Companies like Blizzard and ArenaNet, are in the end, not charitable organizations but companies out to make money. Further to note is that Blizzard is owned by Vivendi [a rather large corporation] and ArenaNet is being published by NCSoft [a publisher wields quite a bit of sway, and NCSoft is also a corporation in the end]
If Blizzard wants to charge monthly for WoW or ArenaNet does not want to charge monthly for Guild Wars, that is their perogative. As it stands, the monthly model is profitable and the ArenaNet model is right now unknown in terms of profit. As a consumer you still have choice. If you want to pay Blizzard, go ahead. If you don't want to, go ahead. As it stands though, Guild Wars will not have monthly fees. |
