Guild Wars - Anyone Playing?
Anyone else playing this game? If so, anyone else having constant disconnects from the game? If I get can 1 hour online, I've done well....Nice game....great graphics, I like the character development...but the bugs in the game drive me nuts.

I've been playing it for a couple months. A friend and I had been looking for a massively multiplayer RPG we could play together that didn't have a monthly fee.
Overall Guild Wars is ok, but after playing Asheron's Call it gets on my nerves that once you leave the town your party are the only ones in the wilderness. In other words, each time you leave the city you get your own "copy" of the world. Also, the landscapes look wide open but are actually very limited on where you can actually walk. No mountain climbing in this game. Sometimes even 4 foot drops are enough to stop your character, you've got walk way around. It's also hard to get decent armour, you have to scrounge around and salvage stuff like fur squares from monsters to give to the armourer.
On the plus side, the graphics are really nice, and there's a lot of variety of skills, spells, and items. Plus there's no monthly fee.
As far as the disconnects, I've not had that problem yet and I've probably played 12 hours or more. I and my friend on cable modems, he's in the city and I'm out in the country.
