This game is absoulutly awsome!!!
There are hundreds of different skills to choose from and 8 different proffesions.
You can choose another proffesion to learn, aswell as your first.
Say if your a ranger you can make a pet and set traps for enemys to fall in, and all the other proffessions have their own trick like curses and fire, water, ressurecting the dead and some others.
Get it, it's so cool.

Not as Good as the Original

Movie sequels always have trouble living up to the original. Factions is the same way. Prophecies was so wonderful that I guess a good expansion was too much to ask. The game is bugged, bugged, bugged. Truly an aweful disappointment. I have trouble thinking of any good things about it. Most people start characters in the origanal game and go to Factions to goof off. Maybe someday they will fix the bugs, but I doubt it.

Major Disappointment

Before I start, let me say I've had over 4 years MMO experience, starting with SWG, CoH, EVE, Guild Wars, and a little WoW. I've spent plenty of time playing MMORPGs and know them pretty well.

I got guild wars for the same reason that most other people did: Free Online. It was nice starting the game, and not have to go through subscription services to shovel out 15 bucks a month. When I started it though, it just was not fun. The stater city is a mess, the game doesn't help you at all, the quest is confusing, the zones are hard to get to, everything outside of the main city is deserted, not to mention that PvP has nothing to do with the actual game at all. You could be a starting the first day and when you eventually find how to pvp, you create a different character and fully level it. Meaning that it doesn't matter how much experience you have, or how much time you spend playing the actual game.

The new zones are also a problem because they have nothing new in them. They are basically the first ones with some changed names/creatures, filled with bugs. The only reason they exist is so NCSoft can continue to make money of the title, by forcing players to buy expansions. Please, take my advice and do not buy this game. It is much more worth it just to either avoid MMOs altogether, or just shell out the 15 bucks a month. You'll have to come up with the cash, but atleast it will be worth it.

IT A NICE GAME NO FEE'S FOR ONE LINE PLAY. IT PLAYS LIKE MOST GAMES WITH THE W,S,A,D, AND THE MOUSE. YOU CAN GET NPC'S TO HELP YOU DO QUEST BUT YOU GET LESS EXP AND LESS GOLD BUT KEEP THE ITEMS YOU LOOT. IN UPPER LEVELS YOU NEED THE NPC'S TO HELP WITH QUEST OR OTHER PLAYERS.TOP LEVEL IS 20 BUT THEY HAVE LOTS OF UPGRADES TO GET. IT WAS MY FIRST GUILD WAR GAME AND I LIKE IT. I PREORDERED THEIR NEXT GAME FROM NCSOFT IT WILL BE OUT IN OCTOBER I THINK.

Quite simply a weak link in the series

I've read most of the other reviews, and there is pretty much a concensus that this is the weakest installment of the series. With an expansion announced for this winter and a whole new game, Guildwars 2, announced, the only reason to buy this one is if you find $40 on the street and can't hold on to it until Eye of the North comes out. Longtime players will want it simply to round out skills and for the sake of completeness, but there is no reason the guildwars universe can't be fully enjoyed without ever setting foot in Cantha.

Ritualists ruined pvp Random Arena

The ritualist is one of the new professions that comes with factions. It is the only profession that allows you to create multiple spirits that do damage, blind, interrupt, heal, evade melee, steal health, knock downs and other things. Its an army all it self. So instead of 4v4 in random arena you and up with 4v5 or even 4v6.

This is one of the best computer games I have played. I would recomend it to anyone.

The world for this game is very cool and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of the Western Asian pastiche.

The Guild Wars game itself is very fun and, I've been told, it is the MMORPG that the real gamers play, although I think there's an element of elitism in that.

In terms of new classes, Assassin is one that every GW player I know has had trouble with. I have started a ritualist but I have only played him up to about level five so I am not all that sure how useful they are, though my friend loves it and swears by it.

You level up much faster in this game then the other GW settings.

Great Game

This along with the others in the series are some of the best online games I have ever played. You get the interaction and excitement that games are all about and you get it without any fee for the online experience. You just can't beat it.
