During instanced missions there's even supposed to be deformable terrain so you can blast craters with your spells, build bridges and burn down trees.
I've been waiting for this one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The program is also on their official site and gamespot too. It's only 64kb. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The founders of the company were the original founders of Blizzard, and the programmers of battle.net.
Oh, and this will be the first ever NO-MONTHLY FEE MMPORG. /me tingles with excitement.
Eediot: You can DL it from the guildwars website, <a href='http://www.guildwars.com' target='_blank'>http://www.guildwars.com</a>

Correct, its not PVP- the game streams.
Which actually proves another thing: Once you buy the game and all that, they say you can play it from ANYWHERE that downloads are available and the hardware can run it. And it looks to be true with this- being all the stuff you see is streamed to you, it'd only be a little bit.
One of the things from a interview from last month's PCG: The way the game will be able to keep the servers running, is from numerous expansion packs(projected to be $30, every 6 months). Thing is, if you don't have a expansion pack, and someone else does, they can invite you to play, and it'll be streamed to you that way.
Is it me, or is that whicked cool?

But speaking of which.
I got a phone call from the head manager at the GameStop I applied for.

I think he means that it isn't <i>pay to play</i>, rather than not player vs player(you CAN do that, but if you don't want to noone can force you).
The game's a lot like CoH combat/level wise in that you gain more abilities as you level but none of the abilities are better than one another reallly; this means that higher level chars aren't necessarily more powerful, they just have a bigger toolset to play with and therefore more options of attack or defence =3
Essentially you could go in with a newly created character and take on a top level character and win. The odds would be heavily stacking against you but if the high lvl doesn't use their abilities right and you're sharp then win for the new person ^^
The missions sound a lot more interactive than the usual MMO fare as well. In one mission you have to steal a hydra egg... the problem is they're absolutely huuuuge so one character has to pick up and lug it over their head, the egg's weight slowing them down and making them unable to fight while carrying it around, a factor that becomes even more interesting when you realise the mother is guarding the nest and many other vengeful hydras won't be too chuffed at you stealing their unborn young XD
The team's also taken a unique approach to travelling; if you want to meet with a friend you can simply open the map, click your friend or a town and instantly be there. The same also applies for quests you've completed so while the option to go exploring the vast world (and it's everyone in one world by the way so expect there to be plenty of people, plus they mention 'seamless', no loading ala AC2 sound good to anyone else? =D ) but if you're feeling impatient or need to get somewhere it's just a quick click away ^^
The only 'down side' I can see to this maybe is that there's no crafting but from the descriptions of the combat, quests and overall content available I doubt it'll matter much. The more I look into it the more I like the designers philosphy... fun and players over stats and hours of repetitive time investment. You'll even find yourself maxxing your levels out rapidly as 'the grind' isn't really the point of the game, but rather the beginning <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
