I dont like the concept of paying monthley for a game i already bought. So of course i never played a mmorpg. Until now. Why? CUZ ITS FREE...yes thats right..its free...Ok, Im assuming you know how to play an rpg, its that with the option to play with other people. Its kinda boring sometimes and repetitive but its ok, cuz the rpg elements keep you playing. The story is crap...I didnt care for it, some bad voice acting and some pretty good voice acting. You wont remember the story after you played..hell im still playing it and I dont remember the story. The camera angels are bad and at the end of the month you feel this is a game for poor or the average income people. If you are rich and want a mmorpg, buy world of warcraft, I want soo much to play but im only 16 and itll take up almost all my allowence.

Great game

The best reason to play this is because it's not like every other MMO's. If you enjoy the on-line enviroment but got tired of other mmo's this one is the one to try. Builds on what other's have done without making the same mistakes.

Great online game all around

This is a breakthrough in online gaming, the idea of teaming up with other players to take on the environment and the variety of things to do is amazing. A true 5 star game

I feel bad for spending $50..

This game is so BORING! The interface just plain sucks. I've only played one other MMORPG, and that's World of Warcraft. It's $15/month to play, and a friend told me to try Guild Wars since it's free. Well, I can honestly say, you get what you pay for. There are very few pluses: Well, obviously, it's free, the graphics are nice, and you don't spend a lot of time travelling. It lacks content and personality though. The characters are completely flat, and it's just not entertaining at all. I guess I've been spoiled by WoW and must be biased towards traditional MMORPG's.

GW is not an MMorpg

If guild wars is an mmorpg then diablo,warcraft,and starcraft are.You are totally wrong.Everything is instanced,only seven players can be in an instance at the same time.Only towns have many players,which is necesarry becasue you may want to form a party for an instance.Even towns are broken down...they are broken into districts.If I am in seaboard district 31,and my friends in district 20,we cant seee each other becasue were in separate instances-annoying.Im not saying this is a bad game,its pretty good.But compared to WoW and other mmos its not too great.7vs7 battles in gw...fun...but what about the 100vs100 batltles of a real mmo?If you dont want to pay a monthly fee get this game.If you have the money,WoW is for you.2 stars because its competeing with MMorpgs,games that are MUCH better than itself.5 in fun...because its fun!you can go on,form a party,and complete instances casually.

unoriginal and unimpressive, but mostly redundant

take your basic diablo 1 hack and slash model, upgrade the graphics a little, cut the level cap to 20, and make it online only and you get Guildwars.

Yes, its an MMO, and yes, you don't have to pay per month, but this game gets old FAST. If you play the game for 10 minutes then youve might as well have played the entire game. There are very few difference between classes, and the PvP system is incredibly limited. Also, the social structure of the whole game was murdered. Unlike the good MMOs of today, your interaction with other players is very limited. Altogether, I feel this game was a huge failure.

Here are the positives of the game
-Nice graphics, yet little system strain
(a half way decent computer can play this game with ease)
-colorful sceinairy

And now for the bad parts of the game
-Repeative gameplay
-no original ideas invented
-missions are boring
-lack of character classes
-lack of character models
-small level cap
-poor player verse player
-too easy
-weak player interaction
-limited item selection for armor

altogether I strongly advise against getting this game. If you want to play an MMORPG, get World of Warcraft. Guild wars just doesnt cut it.

Great Fun

I will have to say that this game is very enjoyable. I've been really enjoying the pvp so far. The PvE is quite fun as well. I really have fun experimenting with different PvP configurations. And probably one of the nicest things is there is no monthly charges.

THE BEST

Guild wars is the best game i have ever played.
The only regret that i have is that i did not get the premier collectors addition!
I really think that guild wars is very well put together and playable and the fact that it is free to play is bonus!
I only wish that i had more time to play, but i guess it is not feezable to quit my job so i could devote more time to play so will have to play when i can. lol
There are just not enough hours in the day.
