WTF?

Some of you people are f***ing morons. The one that really got me, said that he didn't like the game because The name was inaccurate. One review said it wasn't as good a other mmorpg's because you could only play as a human.(no, he wasn't a 12yo social retard) I mean really, one of my big problems with other online rpg's was the fact that they were to fantasy based, and just plain kid game based. No true gamer will play mmorpg's because they're filled with moron kids without jobs, or lives for that matter. One big reason I love Guildwars is because it has normal people with normal lives, so what if they can only play an hour a day or once a week, these are my people. These people are the people who go from playing guild wars to Counter Strike. Not to mention the game being well built fun and interactive for people with said lives.

The Best RPG Since Diablo 2

There really is only one way to describe Guild Wars; Fantastic. It is by far the best game I have played in ages.
For starters it is the first game in a long time that I have not had to wait for a patch in order for it to work.
The game play is incredible, and the graphics are great.

One thing please pay attention to the system requirements on the box. Many people don't and then wonder why their games don't work.

additive fun

Having a blast with this game. A good amount of options for character types but not an overwhelming amount to learn. Interface is great and gameplay is very addictive. I've never played a MMOG before - but with no fees theres no reason not to try this one.

Occasionally the pathfinding can be a bit dodgy - but that is literally my only complaint. Visually stunning and has never crashed once!

Go get this game at once.

BEST GAME YET

I have played computer games since the 80's with commodore 64 and really got into them in 1997 with diablo 1. SInce I have played all the diablo games, dark age of camelot for 2 years and later for 6 month world of warcraft. I like guild wars the best as it is stable and has very few issues and its the most fun I have had on a game in years. The item generator mixed with the security and the fun adventures plus a non pay month per month basis like all the other MMORPG makes this game the best out there. Buy it!!

Was a fantastic game, now ruined by bad updates

This used to be a great, fun game that could be played with a cooperative team or with NPC henchman if you weren't inclined to wait around to get a group together. With the new update (released in the beginning of November) some classes have been rendered rather useless, and it is nearly impossible to accomplish anything with henchmen. NPCs are now blindly chasing after enemies who run at the first hint of an area attack and are consequently getting pulled into large mobs. Even all-player groups are spending more time chasing than attacking. What used to be a fun diversion is now a frustrating mess. I was eagerly anticipating the expansion pack, now I think I will pass.

Just Great...

As an 'older' former DnDer, this is the first of the 'big' Internet Multi-User games that I've really liked. Has a definite role-play feel with the quest and mission directed play. Great graphics, too. And since I'm hand-eye-coordination challenged, its really good that success is as much determined by thinking out strategies and tactics as it is by having 'quick fingers'. Im addicted!

Awesome! Outstanding Game

Simply a masterpiece, this game takes all the good features from online RPGs to make one of the most fun and adictive game ever!!!
The best thing is the fact that the game doesn't need monthly fee for online play making it and attractive choice for online gamer who whants a good online game with a low budget, simply the game is worth every dollar you spend on it!

Plan on not doing anything for the first few weeks you own this game...

There is only one word that can sum up this game. Endless. There is no possible way that anyone could ever run out of things to do. Sure, I've only had the game for about 2 weeks and I've sacrificed sleep, work, school, chores, and spending quality time with my wife and family... and sure, that might be reason enough to NOT buy this game... BUT OH MY LORD! This game is sooooo awesome. "Highly Addictive" would be an understatement. After spending time with the family, I typically play from about 10:00 PM to 4:30 AM... But I'm finally starting to get back to normal or at least off my initial high from this game; and I can now sleep at night after only a few hours of play time (1:00 AM).

I have only one or two negative things to say about this game. And from the 5 star review you can see that they are minor issues. First the ability to craft items is limited. Second, the guild halls that are available are not customizable (I think they're fixing this in the upgrade version, however).

If you've played games like Starwars Galaxies (I have) there are more in-game things you can do as far as crafting items or even building homes and guild halls... In my opinion, it saddens me to see that this game lacks the ability to "alter" the world outside the major cities. The reason for this is clear, however, when you leave a town or an outpost in this game, you will never bump into other players (unless you left with them in a group). The areas surrounding cities are all run on a per-group/person basis. This allows for no interference of quests and the in-game storyline.

I cannot recommend this game more -- the price you pay for any online game should be all you ever have to pay. The fact that guild wars allows you to play online with such amazing graphics, with any friends from around the world is truly -- awesome. I convinced 5 of my friends to join this game with me *and now they're addicted* and I'm convincing more people by the day. I hope I convinced you.

See you online! Whisper me (Raven Earthmage) if you have any questions - or want to join a guild... ;o) I should be maxxed out soon so I'll have nothing better to do than help you newbies.

Definitely worth the price

I could spend days just wandering the first level, which is before the big attack. The graphics are awsome. Considering there are no online fees, it is a fabulous bargain.

The first level can be played with minimal fighting and lots of interaction, or it can include lots of fighting. Moving on to the second level increases the risk and fighting.

This is a game of groups, so it helps if you can meet up with others with whom to explore and fight.
