There is lag sometimes at peak hours, but it is scattered, rather than constant, like in Perfect World. good game but like someone else said leveling shouldent be just grinding and questing but doing fun stuff and meeting new people and exploring new places and getting lost into the game like if it was real life all I have to say is WoW and no I didn’t mean that as like wow this is a good game but World of Warcraft! WoW is #1 online game and always will be until the WOTLK comes out then after that some basics updates like fixing buggs and then let players run it into the ground. But if u want a FUN game ALWAYS turn to WoW ALWAYS! I give this game a 0 out of 10 and WoW a 15 out of 15!

I’ve played the game for 30 months. I have done what is possible. The game was and is still a great game but with the expansion Eye of the North it really got messed up. A new skill got introduced. An elite skill called Ursan blessing. So now when u get the game don’t expect to get a party without maxed rank of the Norns and Ursan Blessing in your skill bar. (The rank is 1-10 rank which for each rank you gain the skill gets better, the skill works only in PvE so if you like PvP it’s still great!) 1 point lost for not a single game in the universe is gooe enough to get a 10, a game just can’t be perfect. Look at Crysis, great graphics yeah. But stupid on every other aspect!

With all the features Guild Wars has to offer, the only thing keeping other MMOs alive is the fact that those users probably haven’t tried Guild Wars. With breathtaking graphics, you’ll often find yourself taking a look around in awe between adventures. The amount of quests is so dense, that only a fool would need to grind, and every battle feels like a dungeon quest. That’s not to mention the most unique factor in the game: a storyline. With brilliant cut-scenes and a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, it’s at times like playing a console RPG. As for the combat, Guild Wars focuses on skills, not equipment. With elite skills, forms, summons, and attacks, you can hack and slash through the depths of hell with vendor-bought armor.

Guild Wars is one of the best MMOs ever made. Maybe one of the best games ever made. There are very few flaws to the game. The fact that everywhere out of a city is instanced is both good and bad. I don't mind the level cap of 20, because you don't need to focus on what level you're on to get skills. My only major complaint is that all of the explorable areas are extremely linear. You basically have one or two paths to follow through the entire area, which ruins some of the fun of exploring. Other than that, though, the game is excellent in almost every way. Plus, it's free! I have this and it got sooooo boring. Not many classes, the people are all moronic, it's got too many seams and you have to sit around for ages just to GET anywhere. Leveling gives no kind of reward except maybe 1 new spell every 8 levels that another class can get anyway. The gear is awful, as are the mechanics... Didn't enjoy this.

I would still be playing the game if there was more stuff 2 do. After a certain point it just gets boring as hell grinding 4 titles. There’s really not much in the way of new pve experiences and all that happen is the community find a place 2 farm x rare weapon, within a week its nerfed and we're back 2 looking. The good aspects are the lack of grind in most places and the pvp battles are absolutely incredible. But there’s just not enough storyline to the game. Instancing the map makes the game really samey throughout with little variance in gameplay. There are no lvlable crafting skills and the only thing that people really sell in game is rare weapons. I hope Anet irons out these problems for GW2 but until then I’m playinf Perfect World. Fun, but WoW is funner I think, I agree with askogsberg.

This game is very good for having no monthly fee. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Pros: -Graphics. -Storyline. -Tons of content (Quests and Missions). -Great replayability. Each class has distinct play styles. -The world is huge. -Game is more skill based then level based. -Does a good job of "weeding" out noobs for high end PvE. -Each campaign offers a different experience.

This game is extremely good and the Pros outweigh the Cons. If the Cons turn you off too much, just wait for Guild Wars 2 which will have persistent areas, a higher level cap, and jumping and swimming. Amazing game played over 800 hours :D this is the best MMORPG of today a lot of things to do apart from jump, but then again you don’t need jump in rpg = downfall of ff10-2 and the game looks beautiful and very fun and friendly game to any new people to the Online Gaming World play this and you will have a lot of fun :) The games very geared towards gamers who like mmorpg games but hate all the inconveniences and annoyances that WoW and similar games have. The graphics are impressive, the combat is solid enough, and it has great storylines for each campaign. PvP feels more like a tournament than a war, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It's different from other mmo's also in the lack of much customization, which isn't a huge deal, just, that you'll always find someone with the same exact armor as you, that kind of stuff.

The game world is not small as you may have been led to believe by many comments here and when you do beat the original Prophecies there are 2 more worlds you can buy and 1 expansion when you beat the combined 705 Quests 75 Missions 18 Dungeons you can play them over in hard mode. This is the best mmorpg to date with vary good graphics and vary good pvp you can’t go wrong with this game and there’s no monthly fees. This game is not a grind fest and how could it be the lvl cap is 20 just get this game if you don’t have it yet. I got this game and played it for a while and then discovered some serios flaws which affectmed my game play, bugged armour issues where if you level 10 you can take on 20 mobs and they wont scratch you, but get the best arnour out there, not the art stuff and those same mobs will kick your butt.

The game was built around guilds (hence the name) the system for joining and designing your own guilds is flawless. When you have acquired enough in game gold you can purchase a guild hall and fill it with vendors creating a guild town for your members. From the guild hall you can access Guild vs Guild Wars, 1 on 1 PvP battles, Hero Battles, or just meet with your friends to start a party for adventuring. Cost vs subscription games: If you paid 40.00 for your game and you have to pay 10.00 a month subscription fee by the end of 1 year you have paid 160.00 if you purchase all 3 worlds and the expansion for guild wars you also spend about that much so if you play the game for over a year there is more value in GW than some other subscription game.

Once you have achieved level 20, you can begin to hone your skills and change your secondary profession in an attempt to create a build that might allow you to venture either alone or in a small group into the Guild Wars Universe. Smaller groups yield better drop results for many items. These items can then be sold in game to other players or vendors. Or how you will be spending all that gold you’ve been farming. In order to craft armor you must find in game armor crafters or collectors to purchase these items from. At level 20 you will want max armor which costs 1000 gold per piece or 5000 gold for most classes, and you must supply the crafter with the raw materials necessary to craft it. There is an also elite version of most armor which looks visually superior and cost 15K per piece or 75K and requires rare crafting material.
