Hi everyone,

I've been recently searching for a new MMORPG to play, and Guild Wars comes highly recommended. I've read about it on the official site and numerous forums and i've also watched trailers and ingame videos. From what i saw so far it really does look like a great game. However i would prefer playing it myself for a couple of days to also get a feel for it before actually buying it. I've downloaded the client from the official site, but altough it says "with the access key provided" i never managed to find it anywhere.

Therefore if anyone could spare a trial/buddy key i would be really thankful.

Sent to this email. :)

I think that solves the request for buddy key problem.

There is a difference between the trial and a buddy key. The trial has restrictions like:

- no auction house use

- no mail use

- you cant send tells unless the person is on your friends list

etc.

the buddy key acct is fully functional.

Sent a buddy key to your email,

I have two buddy keys if anyone wants to use them.

Of course you are not going to be able to use the stables until you find them so you will have to fight your way through once. And BTW if you read the descriptions on the goats it looks like the highest rep one is faster than  the others. So maybe you get on to start but it is not as fast as the rep ones.

And BTW what is wrong with a goat. You realize how much of an uproar there would be if you couldn't rent a mount or use one...they are in the books.

They have already showed them. They are a Ram/Yak like creature that will only be used in the mines for rentable mounts. You won't be able to summon your horse inside. Look in my moria preview thread to see them.

Judging from the maps, there seems to be a number of horse-heads throughout Moria. If they are not fast travel, well, they'll at least carry you monster-free through most of the map it seems, but yeah, it'll probably take quite some time considering the size of the area. (travel in this game, at first, is an experience. it gets tiresome after a while though, when lots of your time is spent traveling. realism in this area is a joke, and a waste of time. would have been better spent in making combat more realistic or some such)

waste of time...i think its faster than alot of other games. WoW doesn't have fast travel options.

Well lets see where the OP 'read' this bit of information, actually.

ok...where...i havent read that and I have read just about everything.

there are stables for sure...but maybe no swift travel options?

Lots of new links

I don't believe this game will ever go F2P, but what they might do is have like a 4.99/mo model in which you would then pay a bit extra for the free content updates. It seems this is something they want to do for casual gamers without as much time on there hands. Or they might chagre a small fee for access, like 4.99/mo for 30hrs of play. Something like that.

Look in my thrread...there are a couple new previews by people who went to pax with race info on the new classes.

Buddy key and founders referral are 2 different things.

Buddy: 10 day trial no restrictions, can upgrade account to full no problems.

Founders: Lets you get the cheaper pricing and horse at 25. But you need to have a new account. So if you try the trial or use a buddy key and want a refferal you will have to make a new account effectively losing what you have done.

You should be able to D/L the client without activating an account. Once you have d/l and then installed you can create a trial account.
