As you all know Guildwars: Factions won the "best multiplayer game" award at DEMMX this week, and I'm both happy and proud about that!

In fact, I've decided that the rest of the world needs to know this too, so I've submitted the story to the huge newssite Digg. If the story gets on the frontpage it'll be read by thousands or tens of thousands of people.

And that's where you guys come in: please help me spread the Word of Guildwars!

If you have a Digg account, please follow this link and click 'digg'. http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Guild_..._2006_at_DEMMX

If you haven't got an account, you need to register here:

Then you can follow this link and Digg it:
http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Guild_..._2006_at_DEMMX

OK, yes, it's hard to get on the frontpage and the last time I tried I didn't get anywhere near it (but I want to say a huge thanks to you guys who Dugg my story!).
However, this story is already doing better than my last one - it's already got 17 diggs, and is on page four. If it can get ten or so more it'll get on the Most Popular Upcoming page, and then there's a real chance it'll coast onto the Frontpage!

The chance isn't great, but hey, telling he world about Guildwars is worth a click, right?

Dugg, I love digg, and it would draw a lot of Digg users to Guild Wars if it was a top story.


Also Check out Diggnation.

I really hate community driven news sites like this... and Shoutwire and all those other places.....

I don't care what little Timmy has to say about Guild Wars... I don't really care what Big Timmy the 30 year old editor for some big-shot game site says about Guild Wars.... I play games for my own personal enjoyment, the way I wish, for my own reasons.

judging from the comments already made, I can tell already that it'll turn into a 500 comment flame between pro-GWers and anti-GWers.... *yawn* I think I'll pass.

"Guildwars is too restrictive. Obviously a MMORPG using the same format as Diablo 2. Why play a game that is path/task driven. It also forces you to team up with people and perpetuates the Last person chosen for the team schoolyard tactics. Dungeon Seige is also similar in format and a rip off of diablo 2."

This post is buried.

And it is perfectly well founded and not a troll in the slightest.

Hence we should go to WoW forums and post "nyah nyah nyah, Guild Wars > your stooopid game!" and include a link to that digg article.

Yay! It worked - The story is on Digg frontpage!

Thanks guys, I owe you one!

I can say it now - to be honest I didn't think it had a chance.

I also agree that GW players should take the moral high-road wrt the WoW fanbase. Let them enjoy their game.

Hence the precision guided smart troll bombs. Once you dropped the payload you are out of there. Let the diggers fight over it
