Guild Wars is Live!28 April 2005

http://www.guildwars.com/images/jpeg/dropcaps/w.jpge are pleased to announce that Guild Wars has opened in North America and Europe. In the five years of development, we have seen the advent of a new company, the forging of a new international bond, and the launch of one of the most popular preorder programs of all time. Tonight, we invite you to come and experience Guild Wars for yourself. The revolution is here.


Ayup, it's in the stores. Haven't seen anything cheaper than $49.99 yet.

I got it the other night. I installed it on the kid's PC. Got Rebecca registered, and I'm going to show her the game tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

I highly doubt they will be discounting Guild Wars anytime soon since it has no monthly fee. The only money to be made off it is the initial sale, then some expansions down the road a bit. I would not be surprised to see them go the "Adventure Pack" route and sell downloadable modules for $5-$10 every couple of months, especially if the playing population hits a good number and remains stable.
