There's no monthly fee! (woohoo!!)
You don't have to give up your life to play - greatness is based on game skill not length of time playing.

What kind of game is Guild Wars?
Guild Wars is a competitive online role-playing game. Players can engage in cooperative group combat, in single player adventures, or in large head-to-head guild battles. Guild Wars is a mission-based game set in a stunning 3D fantasy world that offers full, integrated support for guilds. Because the team that is developing Guild Wars has had experience creating successful online game series such as Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo, the members are familiar with the complex issues surrounding online games, and are creating a game that's both easy to learn and compelling to play long term, and yet doesn’t require players to spend hundreds of hours slogging through the preparation just to get to the fun bits.

Here's a few sites with more information:
http://www.guildwars.com/ - Official site
http://www.pro-g.co.uk/gameindex/392/ - Meh site (not that great)
http://guildwars.ogaming.com/ - Pretty good site
http://gwvault.ign.com/ - IGN site on GW (self explanitory for anyone that knows IGN)
http://gw.stratics.com/ - Another decent site.
Alright, there's 5 sites to get aquainted with, I'm sure a google will turn up much more if you're interested.
Anyway, one can make a guild in the game, and have perks. I was curious if any one here would be interested.
There are weeked beta events; two more are available before the game comes out - see the offical site for more information on them.
I hope I get some sweet replies - the game would be much greater if I had some people to play with.
