Guild Wars Preview

Jolt Online Gaming has written up a preview of Guild Wars, the upcoming MMORPG (or CORPG, as the developers call it) from ArenaNet. Here’s a little something to get you started:

As the name suggests, the forming of Guilds will be an integral part of the game. Guildhalls and guild forums will be included, and guilds can also have their own emblems. In addition to this, guilds may find that they can create custom colours for their outfits by combining dyes found throughout the game. This should be especially helpful when taking part in guild versus guild battles.

The game world itself is one of high fantasy, with bestial races and magical effects, and this is portrayed rather splendidly by the games graphics engine. At this point levels of detail and character models and animation are looking really good, and the architecture has a very distinctive feel.
