| Join a New Generation of Online Role-Playing! Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the tedium of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you: your magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and tear the ground asunder. |

You don't have to spend countless hours on a leveling treadmill to get to the interesting parts of the game, because combat is designed to be strategically interesting and challenging right from the beginning. You don't have to spend hours running around the world to prepare for a quest, because Guild Wars allows you to instantly travel to the beginning of any quest that you've previously unlocked. You'll never spend days playing only to discover that choices you made early on have left you with a permanently uncompetitive character, because the unique skill system in Guild Wars allows infinite experimentation but doesn't allow bad decisions to ruin a character. And you'll never meet new players only to discover that you can't play with them or compete against them because their characters are on a different server than yours; in Guild Wars, all characters live in one seamless world.
Built for Competition
After learning the game and building up your first character, you may choose to test your skills in head-to-head competition or guild warfare. The game is designed to reward player skill and teamwork, not time spent playing, so you won't need to spend hundreds of hours leveling up your character to compete.
The game includes integrated support for guilds, with guild banners and halls, chat rooms and forums. Guilds can challenge other guilds to battle, compete for control of key parts of the world, and be ranked on a worldwide ladder.
Unique Streaming Technology
ArenaNet's unique streaming technology forever eliminates the concept of patching a game. You don't have to wait a month for the next big patch to experience new content. Instead, the game constantly and intelligently streams new content to your computer in the background while you play. The world can change continually. This allows us to build a much more dynamic game world than any that has existed before.
Professions:
Elementalist
Master of arcane lore, the Elementalist calls down natural forces of unparalleled might to do her bidding.
Mesmer
Through a mixture of magic and personal charisma, the Mesmer casts spells to subvert the damage-dealing capabilities of others.

Ranger
An agile and wily survivor, the Ranger specializes in archery, stealth, scouting, and attunement to nature.
Warrior
The mightiest of mighty, the bravest of the brave, the Warrior must have the strength and toughness to endure the rigors of combat.

| This game is a free MMORPG and is greatly worth its value. The game is challenging, but not so that you will be stuck on the missions for a very long time. The side quests are also very fun to do. PvP of course, never gets easy, but is great fun. The char customization is somewhat limited in the sense that there is no accessories that you can put on your chars face, but the armour can be changed i...[More] |

| For everyone out there who plays role-playing games on the PC, I definitely recommend guild wars. That had to be one of the smartest gaming choices I have ever made. I heard some talk about it at my school and there were positive and negative comments (the negative comments coming from the guys who live off their xboxes), I decided to try the trial. Having played WoW made it easier to compare the ...[More] |

| This game is perfect for the casual gamer who has a lower end computer and doesn't want to pay monthly for games like WoW and Everquest. I actually picked this game up simply for an alternate pc game other than Diablo II (which rules!) so i started playing and came to meet many new people and found out some of my other family plays so we made a guild and go do hero quests all the time. The game is...[More] |
