Although different in concept to other MMORPGs, Guild Wars has proved to be a creditable and righteous game for people familiar with the genre. Even newbies will find this game all sorts of fun, as it is not hard to learn the basics of the game.
The main jobs available thus far are:
Warrior
Necromancer
Elementalist
Ranger
Monk
Mesmer

You can combine to have any one as a primary/secondary job and get attributes from both (but only the special attribute of your primary job).
Quests are a lot of fun and the graphics are a delight.

I've been malspending my money playing FFXI, a game in which you payed a monthly fee and you had so much of a hard time getting Gil (FFXI currency) that 90% of the people actually buy it online... This sort of nonsense is not seen in Guild Wars. Get this game if you're a fan of the likes of World of Warcraft.
I've been playing Guild Wars for a month now, it's great!

Like any MMORPG, Guild Wars has features such as an advanced Battle system, PvP, quests, missions, and varying monsters.

Unlike ANY MMORPG, Guild Wars is 100% free, with no monthly fee. And yet, the graphics still blow Blizzard's World of Warcraft totally away. It is definately worth the wait, and will arrive finally at our doors on the 28th of April.
I play Guild Wars online using Arena.net's server. I really like Guild Wars.

An MMORPG like war craft but without the stupid 15$ a month fee. Often hated by WoW fans because they can't understand the concept of being able to log out or not having to pay for a mediorce game. A normal persons MMO game
Jeff: Dude....im poor i gota pay my WoW fee this month again
Me: Dude...ever considered just finding a game that does'nt require money every month to play? Try Guild Wars..you'll get your social life back and have fifteen extra dollars a month..and people wont randomly run up and kill you in a town.
Jeff:... Sweet *chucks warcraft box into nearest trash can* wow...i feel free now.

A free MMORPG that focuses on Group combat as opposed to solo play. The game contains six classes that range from Warrior to Elementalist (Wizard) The game is based on playing for fun, not leveling to get an uberpowerful charecter. The game is still in beta and will be released April 28th. The game is only playable on special weekends termed beta weekends.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR GUILDWARS TO COME OUT!!
Oh man, the next beta isn't until april....... I'm SO BORED!
Dude, your elementalist ROCKS!
I can't wait to get to Lion's Arch.
I like Old Ascalon Better!
