This game is really boring; get World of Warcraft instead

Guild Wars is the worst game that I've ever played. An old Mario game from the NES has better graphics than this; you can't even jump unless you type "/jump." You can't see other people outside a town (unless you're in a group). So I advise you not to get this game because you'll be sorry you got this instead of World of Warcraft.
at least there's no subscription

this chapter of guild wars is poorly done. they have focused on trying to push you into pvp play by making the pve very, very difficult, you no longer earn skills by doing quests, and the hunts are almost impossible, especially if you like to hunt solo, ie farming.
another thing I didn't care for was how you had to search to even find where to do your quests. yes, the npc's have the exclamation mark above their head, but finding them has turned into a chore. I guess they've decided if they make your work hard to earn your fun, you'll appreciate it more.
I would've guessed they could have made so much more out of this game. I mean, they sold over 2 million copies of the game retail when it first came out, I'd bet they sold half that of the following 2 expansions combined
What's wrong with you people?

I have played this game and I have also played World of Warcraft. This game is a horrible attempt at creating an MMORPG. My reasons are the environment and adventure part. This game fails in doing the one thing I play MMORPGs for... to be able to interact with people. In real life, when I walk out of a city all of the people will not have dissappeared from the face of the earth and then reappear when I go in the city again. This concept is flawed and creates a boring game. If you can't find a group, then you are screwed. There is a limited amount of player interaction outside of cities, unless they are in your group. The overall concept of this game is just plain flawed.
Don't buy this game

This game does not have good graphics. I really wish I had not wasted my money on this. There is nothing fun about it, and it takes too long to level up; I'm just level five and it says I need 11,000 experience points to level up and you only get about 75 every time you kill a monster. When you're looting a monster, if it drops armor, you can't even use it, you need some kit thing that lets you identify it or something like that before you can wear it. So what I'm trying to say is don't waste your money on this game.
save your money for World of Warcraft

Not worth the money. It is horribly boring. The game doesnt even allow you to jump... Its really sad. Just save your money and go buy world of warcraft. The small monthly fee is worth it, compared to lame online games like guild wars.
Havent Played it yet looks sick

I moved from Diablo 2 to this game and this game is better. Controls and terrain take getting used to but auto targeting make up for it. You can only play online. You do not need to partner up with other players if you don't want to, but the game is designed for multiplayer. Some (minor) quests require another player on your team. Very addictive.

Ok I have to admit I have not plaied this game yet but I am looking for a good online game that will keep me plaing it. ive plaied WoW and i didnt like it too much ive plaied FFXi and I loved it at first but it got boring after awhile. So is this game worth the buy or is it just like war craft? Does it get boring after awhile? Please comment.
Thanks :)

I played this game when I couldn't sleep and spent hours without knowing it. It has great graphics and one original class, Mesmer, which I love dearly (psst: create Mesmer/Monk).
Since game downloads stuff all the time, you have to be ready to pay flat rate adsl or something like that, otherwise it becomes expensive.
Some missions require lotsa time, which I don't HAVE. There are shortcut keys, but you have to learn it through tutorial, you don't get manual in box with disks.
It would be nice to have Guild War offline game, and play it alone like Diablo. I simply can't make a team with human players.
This way, it is another addictive game via net which dowloads a lot.
Oh yeah, if you play alone, warrior/monk seems to be ok...graphics is soo cute!!! Diablo III should look like this!!!
great game

This is a very interesting and fun game to play. But it's also very hard. The mobs tend to overpower the player even with the henchmen who never level unless you are in a different area ,which makes it very frustrating. Everytime the player dies, he has a dead penalty, the odds are not in favor of the player. But overall the game is great.
