Hi! Tech here! I've played MMORPGs for 6 years now and never stopped. After reviewing Guildwars, I'm sooo into it. I can't get the weekend event pass though because I won't preorder it yet. Somehow it seems to be a nice game, the user-screenshots show that the user-interface is kind of simple, but the view is fantastic! Never seen anything like it. I have so many questions to ask but I don't know where to start. I'll ask one at a time since I can't remember them all.
OK firstly, Is Guildwars a "You see your character" kind of MMORPG like Pristontale or is it "You see an eye-view of your character" kind of MMORPG like Might and Magic 9?

EDIT: Oh and if someone will be so kind as to PM or post a screenshot in which i can see the full interface? I wanna see how its like. THANKS!! =)

Hello and welcome, technocian.

Guild Wars is third person or first person. You can zoom in and out the camera as well as pan it arround. As for the screenshots, there is an entire section of the boards dedicated to them: here.

Also, could you change your signature? It's too big. For more information about the signature size, read the forum guidelines.

Actually if you want to compare the interface to a game that already made it to market, the closest would be Ultama 9. However you are not limited to this view. You can zoom in and out on the character, along with the map, and skills, and weapons selection being on the screen. The UI is very nicely customizable and you can make as many info screens available as you want.

Hey I managed to find an old screen shot but I didn't take one with the interface myself.

They are working on "fixing" the simple interface it seems and in closing, fix your sig, too big for here or anywhere honestly
