Ah, i started 2 characters (the game kept dropping me and not letting me log back in with the same character for a while, so i kept swapping) - a dark elf priest and a human warlock - Level 10 and 12. You're right about the look of the areas - i've been to 2 of the big cities so far and they're both stunning...
I'm amazed by the sheer size of the game world... And since its a subscription game, they'll keep on releasing new content as long as people are still playing...

Same her in germany - the most common payment method is the ELV:
you give the company your account data and the permission to withdraw a certain ammount to their accounts.

yeah, that's the usual way to pay for stuff here too, but almost all cards are also connected to a credit account like VISA or AmEx

aye. dutcholand has the highest broadbandconnection density, but the lowest cc density (in europe).
thats why the gametime cards is quite a good idea. altough they couldve just used the protocol Pext just said (works here in dutcholand too). would be alot easier than having to go to the store every month

Your lousy BB skills nonwithstanding, Guild Wars is definitely the better looking game. BTW, why aren't you partaking in the Beta Event merriment ewe hobo??

I guess so. Hope you'll join us when the game's released.
Pext, I had a look at those screenshots, it's not a bad looking game at all. To be honest, if it weren't for Guild Wars, I'd probably be playing WoW =/
