Now many of you may not call this a true RPG, but theres no denying that its a very fun game, anyone out there play it?

Its so much fun doing guild verses guild, heros ascent and all other kinds of pvp with heaps of other people.

the best thing is, theres no monthly fee.

probably my favourite game at the moment, what are your thoughts on it?

-eternal

Never heard of it.Give us more info about it.The game type,graphics,playabilty etc.

Support us with a few screenshots if you can.What is the game all bout? Is it like final fantasy?

ff is a RPG game,and it's one of my fav games.

well the original game titled strictly Guild Wars was pretty fun then Arenanet started to nerf (get rid of) our favorite farming(a term to describe going to a place over and over again to collect golds and items) spots and making us all poor...

the original game had 6 proffessions
Warrior- pretty much speaks for itself...up in the front line "tanking"(taking all the damage for the rest of the group and dealing some) and taking most of the aggro (you have a mini map and a little bubble on the mini map centered around your green dot that represents you if any red dots [enemies] got inside your bubble you aggroed them and they would come and attack you)
Monk- is basically a medic the healer of the team...they have some damage dealing skills but not as many as healing and protecting skills
Ranger- the master of the bow..can also capture a pet to help you fight...set traps for your enemies to walk over and the traps explode and set the enemy on fire, blind him, cripple him, or even make him bleed
Mesmer- master of illusion. Mesmers can place hexes on you and other enemies to quickly drain at your health make you move slower or even take damage from weapons that arent there
Elementalist- basically explains himself/herself you control the elements water,fire,earth,air(electricity and the like) to deal massive ammounts of damage, set up wards to slow enemies, or use spells that will encase the enemie in ice slowwing their movement crittically
Necromancer- possibly one of the most fun characters in the game you have the ability to steal health from an enemy with a single touch, look or spell, you can turn corpses of friends and foes alike into undead slaves to walk around and kill things for you

As in many RPG games there are clans or in this case Guilds. A guild can be created for a mere 100 gold (the common currency of the game) have a cape made for your guild for 2,000 gold and buy a guild hall for all your guildies to meet, talk, or arange a GvG (guild versus guild) match for somewhere between 15,000 gold and 20,000 gold these days

The graphics are alot better than most games probably slightly worse than WoW (world of warcraft) and the gameplay is absolutely stunning the AI is good there are slight glitches here and there in the game though you may get stuck among a bunch of rocks and have no idea why and not be able to move unless killed or something along those lines

They have recently added many updates some including more skills new items and economy changes.

The official website where you can see screen shots. listings of other fan sites and even a kit to start your own fansite is www.guildwars.com I hope i have helped some people in the choice of a new free MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game)

The game is great. Think of it along the lines of fable multiplayer, without the will powers. Instead you have more realisting powers for the time era. Plus you can choose your profession and secondary profession as well.

Eh, it's just another MMORPG in my eyes. The only redeeming quality is that the game is free to play. Other than that, it's a watered down WoW. The level cap is so terribly low and the quests are awfully generic. Pick it up if you're new to MMORPGs or if you're just cheap.

I wouldn't compare World of Warcraft to Guild Wars at all. They are both based off of two completely different concepts. World of Warcraft is much more story driven and focuses a lot on Player vs Environment stuff whereas Guild Wars is much faster paced and is based much more off of Player vs Player, Guild vs Guild concepts. Item's matter in both but much more in World of Warcraft. Guild Wars focuses more on what you do once you reach the level cap not so much as getting there like World of Warcraft. There really are a ton of differences and it really depends on what type of gameplay you like.

ohh i play this game i have a ranger and a pet lvl 13

yeah man this game is great there meny ppl to play with and it never gets boring becuas eu always have somehting to dol.

i play guild wars since it was released, and i must say it is a good game. it doesnt take your life away just as other mmorpgs, there you are limited to lvl20, so no infinite farming for ultimate level or weapon, when you finisg storyline you can get to competing part of the game or explore lands, but important is, that it is not like other "life eating" mmorpgs.
has any of you played nightfall event thos weekend(i think it is still on as i am writing this)

I love Guil Wars too I have a level 20 N/Mo and currently I'm "building" a 55hp Monk (Immortal Monk).
The best part of GW is when you reach the part of PvP and GvG...
