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.
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.
Guild Wars 2 will be an MMORPG developed by NCsoft. It will not be an expansion of Guild Wars, its predecessor. It will be quote ' a completely new game'. You will not be allowed to transfer characters from the original Guild Wars, but you can reserve your name. One of the interesting facts about this is the fact that things can be broken with your weapon or set on fire.
There will be four new playable characters, and many other interesting aspects of the game.
