Its an ok game the biggest highlite I would say is the fact that its the first mmorpg that is not payed for monthly.

After playing this for a while I started over with a new character and it is the same exact thing. Doing the game the first time was ok but starting over with a different character is a waste of time since there is nothing new. Usually playing a game like this a second time with a different character is a lot of fun because of the different paths the game will take you down. Not with this game. It is the same thing. Boring.

I get constant crashes due to a video driver error. I have tried the latest driver and an old driver and nothing helps. Tech support are useless morons who couldn't find the motherboard in a computer. Look on the Guild Wars web site and you will see that there are problems with almost the entire line of Nvidia graphics cards.

The game isn't the best I have ever played for several reasons. There are invisable walls everywhere so you go where the programmers want you to not where you want to. But there are also invisable walls to keep you from cutting a corner or go across a small ditch and save the 10 minutes from going around. Why? Any spell you cast must be targeted on a character, even area of effect spells. So if your team mate or henchman (NPC) is being attacked and you want to cast a spell to help kill the monsters you have to target one and hope the area of effect is large enough to damage all of the attackers, instead of targeting the middle of the group and actually hitting all of them. The controls get really annoying especially when fighting. You try to click on an attacker, usually you will click on a team mate and are unable to cast your spell or attack. Then you try to click on the attackers name and it constantly shifts so you end up still selecting your team mate. If you click the ground accidentally while you are trying to target an attacker, you will run to that spot and if it is in the middle of the enemy, prepare to die. To cancel a command you just have to press the forward button but in battle when you are trying to do several things at once it can get very confusing.

I think the game is a good start but Arenanet and NCsoft need to get some better programmers and designers and fix all of the bugs and annoyances. I'm not very happy with the game at all, it could be much better. Before you buy I suggest you look at some of the chat fourms and read all of the problems people have been having.

Good Game

This game is pretty good compared to the others out there. The only donwfall is not being with other people outside of town unless you are in a group and the backpacks are way too small. Overall it is a pretty good and fun game though.

Caution When Purchasing Used Copies

If the copy that you are purchasing was registed previously on the game site you MUST get the login info from the person whom you are purchasing it from. The product key can only be used ONCE, PERIOD w/out forking over an additional $49--doubt that the game is that good.

Excerpt from a customer service email:

Subject Access/Product Key

Response (GM Jabberwocky) 11/30/2005 12:25 PM
Greetings Jon,

... Unfortunately we cannot assist you with this matter because you purchased a used copy of Guild Wars and are not the original registrant of the access key. The original owner retains all rights to the access key and account created with that key, and access keys and accounts are not meant to be traded, sold, or shared as it is against the Users Agreement. Additionally, the Guild Wars game package is printed with "Not for resale by prior owner" and "Not valid for purchase if opened."

In order to "own an account" you will be required to purchase a retail copy through one of our authorized stores. For a list of options to purchase online and at your local retailer, please see the following link: https://store.plaync.com/home.php. You could also purchase a Guild Wars access key alone by using the PURCHASE CODE link in the "Online Purchased Serial Codes" section of your PlayNC account management page.

Had to put a rating in. I could not give a one since so many like it. I also could not give a five since I have not been able to play it w/out dropping $49 on top of the $29 that I had already spent. Oh, the return address was rendered illegible by post office tape.

Good luck on your purchase

JB

Game for team players only

Guildwars is a game designed with a very restrictive vision. The game is made for one thing and one thing only. Team play. If you do not want to play as a team this game is not for you. The quest become progressively harder and harder to play as one. More and more monsters are throw at you every new quest with no chance to pick them off one by one. If you attack one three others will appear from nowhere. Newer and more powerful weapons are very rare if not nonexistent. Does not matter any way because you most likely would have no money to buy them as every item is very expensive and you are given very little money. When you play with NPC team mates you have to split money between them, this is the only game I have played that has done this. Another gimmick to keep you from getting powerful enough to do missions by yourself. This game is not for me as I do not like team play. I made a mistake, don't you make it too.

Great Game

I think that this game is great. It is a lot of fun. Sometimes and can get pretty competitive though, so thats why its not quite at 5 stars.

This game is the best.

In Stock fibs

I recently ordered Guild Wars 1. because at the order time Amazon had the best price and 2. it said it was in stock. There was 'some' delay and three weeks later I got the product in the mean time the local stores had the game in stock for the same price sans shipping charges. The game is ok not a great game but what I expected. If you want an item with a three to four day ship time showing it should not take three weeks to ship without an explaination or apology. So far this is an exception to my ordering with Amazon but I offer this review as a sample of declining customer service.

This is a poor excuse for a MMORPG. It's to much like the worst parts of diablo 3.
Wish i could get a refund for this one.
