Try Guild Wars expansion free ... again

The next expansion in the Guild Wars series, Nightfall, is just around the corner -- but for anyone who can't wait until October, NCsoft are running an open preview event on September 22-24. During that weekend, Nightfall will be free to play for just about anyone, regardless of whether you have Guild Wars already.The previous expansion, Factions, had a very successful preview event, so it's no surprise the idea's being repeated. It makes sense for NCsoft to capitalise on Guild Wars' free nature by, well, making it even freer -- if only for a short while. Those of us already resigned to paying monthly for MMOs may find it a nice change to try a new one without cost, but as every hour spent on a free game is one that we have already paid for on another MMO, it's hard to drag us away.

Yes, and while the game isn't as strong in the PVE aspect, the PVP alone is well worth a subscription fee... but don't tell NCsoft I said that.

Anyone can download this from September 22-24. Then, after that, you'll have to buy Guild Wars. No monthy fee, either.
I probably won't be playing this, because 1) Everyone will be saying "oHW DU U DANS" and "D00D WUT I DOO NOW", and 2) It seems like 1/3 of the game will be playable, and the story mode is really only fun once. After that, you just play it again to help other people out or to farm. Then, you PvP.
