Guild Wars Playable Preview

[SAS]

This weekend you will have the chance to sample another Guild Wars preview event, allowing you to play with the up and coming MMORPG.

The free World Preview Event, which begins Friday evening, Oct. 29 and ends Sunday evening, Oct. 31, will allow players to explore two new game regions, play in an expanded international tournament and engage in combat on new competitive battlefields. For the first time game players will be able to create new guilds and experience guild warfare in the vibrant online environments of Guild Wars. To participate in the World Preview Event players can simply visit www.guildwars.com and download the free game client, which is approximately 90KB.

ArenaNet (the Developer) are a bunch of ex-Blizzard guys and a lot are ex-Diablo team, and NCSoft (the Publisher) is the largest Online Games/MMO publisher in the world - Lineage, City of Heroes etc. The game itself is very impressive, as is the tech behind it.

I get the idea that this is what Diablo 3 would be had it been developed.
