Gameplay
Your guide to playing Guild Wars is here, within these links. Find something for the novice, and perhaps a bit for the veteran, too. This ever-expanding section includes information that will inform you in your journey through Tyria, and will aid in your conquest of the many challenges in the lands. While not intended as a full strategy guide, you will find a good starting point for information about how to play and choose your professions, along with maps, combat basics, information on the missions and quests, and more.
Guild Wars Synopsis
Join a New Generation of Online Roleplaying
Guild Wars takes the best elements of today’s massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates some of the more tedious aspects 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 Guild Wars quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you; with the dynamic quest system, your accomplishments have a unique influence on your future.
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 the choices you made early have left you with a permanently uncompetitive character. The unique skill system in Guild Wars encourages infinite experimentation but doesn’t allow early choices to limit 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 or they have a different chapter of the game; in Guild Wars, all characters live in one seamless world.
A Variety of Choices ： gamemotive com
Guild Wars heroes come in all types: male and female, large and small, and in any of 56 combinations of the eight professions: Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Elementalist, Mesmer, Necromancer , Ritualist, and Assassin. With more than 150 unique skills per character, which can be combined for any number of effects, the possibilities are mind-boggling.
In addition, you can create up to four heroes per unique Guild Wars account, gain two additional hero slots with Factions, and purchase extra slots if needed. New heroes can be deleted and created at any time, allowing you to create specialized characters or to have fun experimenting with profession combinations, skills, and attributes until you create the hero that suits you best.
Built for Competition
If you like Player-versus-Player competition, Guild Wars was made for you. In addition to building up a character by undergoing missions and quests, you can choose to create a character specifically for head-to-head PvP 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 and guild alliances, with the ability to create unique guild emblems, to acquire guild halls, and to keep in touch through in-game guild messaging. Guilds can challenge other guilds to battle, compete for control of key parts of the world in alliance battles, 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 and will change continually. This allows you to experience a much more dynamic game world than any that has existed before.

I play Guild Wars but EQII is the best MMORPG I've played so far.

Do you know why? not only is it a stylised environment, but the sheer amount of people on each server would make loading times hell if they had to load far more elaborate items.

your a wow fanboy so youll defend it, lineage 2 (obviously im a fan) has the biggest worldwide use and there are no problems with the servers there....and its way way prettier, here you go..

Wow isnt fun cause you can beat it....you can max out your levels and do all the quests and be the #1 on your server and sit there and wait till the next expansion comes out... Games like lineage are more real as they are not completable, even by those that have bene playing the past 5 years religiously. You can max out your level, only like 100 people worldwide have though, but then there is so much more... PvP ducks in WoW cause you can't kill your own alliance, not real at all, in true battle you can kill the guy who is screwing you over, or you just don't like. PvP in lineage is an art form, anyone anywhere can attack you, you can never see the rank or level, and you never really know the outcome of the battle, be an army against an army or single combat....I challenge sany erious player to play Lineage for 1 month, and Wow for one month, and see what one you like, Wow is easier by far, with less penalty for death, and wrong doing, but lineage is a true adventure....

All my opinion...but if anyone wants to play let me know...

Oh but guild wars is free per month and that kicks ass
