Guildwars World Preview Event

Guildwars was supposed to launch its World Preview Event today, lasting from October 29th to 31st. But in fact you could already start playing yesterday, so excuse me for the news being late. Seems they found a good trick to avoid everybody clogging their servers at the same time, by simply starting one day earlier than announced.

You can download the client from the Guildwars web site. Don't be surprised that the file is tiny, 62kb, the game downloads in several stages. Zones are only downloaded when you enter them, which makes the game client small, but means you need broadband internet access if you do not want zoning into a new place take forever.

Guildwars is well worth checking out, the preview is both pretty and stable. But if you miss this preview event, you'll have to wait for my review. :)
