Guild Wars: Should I?

[Rivaan]

I am thinking about going out tomorrow and buying Guild Wars - the "no monthly fees" thing appealed to me. I was wondering (if anyone has played it, or is playing it nowadays) is this game any good? And what is Guild Wars Factions?

Any insight is greatly appreciated :)

I've had it since it came out, fun game. Not as good as World Of Warcraft, certainly, but probably one of the top 5 MMORPGS out there right now. Of course, the no-monthly-fees thing just makes the whole thing better. It's especially fun if you can join a guild once you get past the first chapter. If you can afford it, get it. It's certainly the best bargain for a MMORPG game so far, and a fun game to boot.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention the insane fun you can get from making a PVP-only character early on, until one of your main characters can PVP without being mercilessly beaten. I personally prefer a mesmer/warrior or warrior(or elementalist)/necromancer for PVP, if you get the game.

Yea PvP is pretty fun in guild wars, I went with a ranger/warrior and a warrior/monk, they seem to be able to handle most of whats thrown at you, especially if you get a pet with the monks buffs and healing magic it can take down other players by itself.

Guild Wars is defenitly worth it for the $50 (now $40) price tag. Oh yeah, the no monthly fee thing just rocks :). I've been playing this for a year now and I bought Factions a while back and I still play both compaines. Excellent mmo.

This might sound like a stupid question but, what is PvP? I am curious....:)

[Panda]

PvP is player versus player were you fight another character in the game

Thanks for your opinions guys :) Well I have decided to buy it but ugh.. I wasn't able to go to the shop today. I will definitely go tomorrow though. I'll play Guild Wars through before getting Factions though. I have NO idea why I never got this game before. I guess I just thought there might not be anyone I know that would play it. I'll try to get my cousin to get it too, but it's good to know there are some cool guys playing it too :)

Hello coolrom Kru!, I Just joined this forum and the community looks great! I just wanted Rivaan to know that my brother bought that game while on a out of town job and doesn't play it anymore. I could sell a used copy of it if you like, I know I just joined and I haven't proven trust yet, but I can put it on ebay or something and just end the bid as soon as you bid or if you have a paypal account you can just put the funds there and then I can send it to you. Name a price, I just figured the game should get it's gameplay instead of just sitting over at my house.

Heya Teekan. Sorry but I just bought it today. Besides, I'm in the UK lol.

Don't sell your copy even though they have you cd-key they wont be able to log on without your email information

Ok guys, I've actually had time to play this game today and it's sooo cool! :D

I am playing the RolePlaying Prophecy campaign if anyone's interested. My name is Rivaan Vaalen. It lets me choose a district (most are European) but I go for the International one.

When I try to play with a couple friends that live in a different countries, at least one of us lags out every single time. It's hella annoying, so I mainly stick to American servers.
