Help me decide

[spikeman488]

i am thinking about buying guild wars. but im not sure. ive heard mixed feelings about it. either insanley addicting or the worst buy ever. i was just wondering how good it really is and yalls insight on the gameplay and replay ability and the characters. the help would be mihc appreciated.

It is insainly addicting,untill u beat the game,then it sucks

Well, to me, it isn't addicting, but it is really really fun. If you had a choice between Guild Wars and WoW, I would say WoW, but some people don't have the option of spending 70 dollars the first month, and 20 dollars the following months to come. There is a major con to Guild Wars that WoW doesn't have -- free online game play. I think you should buy it, it's a great game.

i think u mean major pro to gw.

i rather enjoy gw, the pvp isn't exactly to my liking, but it's enjoying nonetheless. if you're looking for a pvp game that requires lots of strategy and to a certain extent teamwork, then this is your game. otherwise the pve gets boring after a while.

k thx ill prolly get it once im out of debt. and i would get wow if it wasnt for the monthly payment. =\. my mom wont let me.

lol, if you like organized play and dont like to solo and have it a shortly lived game play, go for it. WoW > GW, After playing both, WoW is more time consuming, more agile, and everything, but if its a get a game or not, buy it.

i want WoW real bad. but i dont rlly have to get guild wars. right now i have 3 games (d2 w3 and halo) that r keeping me very busy for the time being. just one more ?. about how long is the game play for gw. i sort of got off of WoW because of monthly pay but after looking at ebgames 60-day card for wow i may get it. just need to now about how long it took for the first time to beat gw.

i beat guild wars in 2 weeks, in WoW, im not even(almost after 1 month) 1/100000 done, let alone how boring GW gets after you get a max dmg sword right away. -.-;

i played gw for a month. i got bored out of my mind! it took me a week to beat it with my frist caracter, a week with the secnd.

then i went to pvp. after 2 weeks, i said screw this game.

gw is a waist of money. the items are all the same. every caracter has the same armor. every caracter can get the same weapon. and there are no items that give very many bonuses that are worth any1's time.

 

[Brandon]

It was slighty a WASTE of money. not to bad tho for free..

I hit level 20 in a week, but kept playing for a couple months. I then switched to another game to play with some friends (It was WoW), but I had a great time playing guild wars and it can be a lot of fun in a good guild/group of players. PvP really requires strategy and communication, which is a lot different than some games where it is gear/level dependent. It's a lot different than diablo and some (noob) people complain about not having good items to give them the edge they sorely need, but it's a great game I had fun with it.

i play gw and i have played it since two days after it came out and still play i think it is a good game but it is my first mmorpg so what do i kno but i like it i agree with treefrog in that the pvp is a chalenge by u have to have strategy and a plan to ur build.

 

[Sword-Dancer]

if you get WOW how do u have to pay the monthly fee and can u play single player?

 

[Brandon]

There is no single player to anny "MMO" and yes, WoW has a fee, but its worth it.
