Made by the 'old' blizzard employees who brought us Starcraft and Diablo, Guild Wars is an MMORPG centered around Player Vs Player combat. While there is enough PvE in this game to choke a horse, it becomes quickly apparent that it was built for PvP. With Nightfall, you get a choice of several different classes. Warrior, Monk, Assassin, Necromancer, Elementalist, Ranger, Paragon, Dervish, Ritualist and Mesmer. For the first time in MMORPG history, you are allowed to cross class! That means if you feel like being a plate mail toting mage, then go ahead.
This MMORPG is about the same as any other in all other aspects. You play the game doing quest after quest to level up your character. With a level cap of 20, it doesn't take to long to reach it. After you have hit level 20, you will be spending the game gathing faction points for purchasing better skills, farming for materials to craft better armor and weapons or just having fun in PvP.
There is something really unique about this game that sets it apart from other PvP MMO's. Guild Wars offers you the ability to create a guild and go head to head against another guild. You gain faction points and guild points that entitle you to certain titles and will unlock certain items and skills that you couldn't get otherwise.
There is enough content in the game to last you a while. Here it is, 40hours into the game and we are still finding new things to do! If you're on a tight budget and are just dying to try out an MMORPG, this is the game for you.
