For the computer gamers!

[LordTofuDog-jnr]

For anybody who plays computer games and hasn't played this you should give it a try, it's fun and it takes up lots of your download limit! Yay!

The link will take you to a FilePlanet page where you will be able to get an access code for a two day trial of the game guild Wars, a massively multiplayer online role playing game. To get the code you'll need to have a membership with Gamspy/FilePlanet which is free to get.

Anyway I'd suggest this to anybody who wants to play games like Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft without the monthly fee, give it a go.

I played it for a while, a couple of betas ago...the gameplay, I found mostly boring, but it's worth a download just for the visuals. Probably the most gorgeous game I've ever seen, I just walked around and looked at magnificent waterfalls and such.

Before I go and download, I have a question: Can my computer handle it? AMD 1800+, 256 RAM, Radeon 8500.

I had trouble running World of Warcraft.... I think it's mostly a RAM issue though.

Very good graphics and very low requirements, I got it to run on the machine I'm using now, 880mhz, 64mg graphics card, 512 RAM

It should work quite nicely.

Great more topic spam..

you need more RAM. Try to get 512 MB worth of ram. Its the standard these days.

No, no, no. Anyone that plays those games are RPGers, not gamers. I am a gamer will not have my name sullied by some dirty RPGer.

I like RPGs, but I am more of a powergamer. "True" RPGers hate me. They think I ruin the game by trying to be the most powerful possible.

Video game RPG's are not 'true' RPGs. They are a subsection unto themselves and not to be confused with tabletop games. FOLLOW THE GOURD!!
So sayeth the crusty b@stard who remembers 1st edition D&D.

Well, there are just different levels are role playing. The ultimate would probably be the insane SCA people. I have a friend who loves computer RPGs and always makes choices that fit whatever persona he is trying to play. As for me, I tend to save, pick a choice, reload, repeat in order to see all possible outcomes. Then I pick whatever choice gives me the "best" reward. I'm a pure powergramer. It's kinda like my fencing too...I like cheesy stuff that wins bouts. The sole except is the counter-attacking retards that win just because they bend over fully and GROUND OUT MY BLADE MAKING IT ONE LIGHT FOR THEM EVEN THOUGH I NAIL THEM IN THE LEG.
