THIS IS WHY GUILD WARS IS EITHER NUMBER 1 OR ATLEAST THE TOP 3 BEST MMORPG OUT THERE

1: Buy to play once, free forever!

I love how i dont have to pay for all those damn monthly fees, why should i pay for a game i already bought? Thats just dumb in my mind. Only thing is that you have to buy the new expansions, but their sweet!! Ive played and beaten almost all of the stories, im going to start Eye of the North today or tomorrow. And i dont care what you say, factions isnt that bad! its just a little short on the story line.

2: Character creation, almost limitless!

I dont know what to do next, monk, elementalist, their all so cool. and what about all the choises! In guild wars, you can pick like 20 hair styles, 20 hair colors, 15 or more faces, and 10 or more skin tones, and were not done! After that, you can color your armor! Red, green, blue, and if you dont like it, change it, its only 100 gold for a change (unless its black or white, its not cheap! Lol.

3: Environment, Every tree deserves its own screenshot.

Yes, its that beautiful. Wheather its the jaw dropping sunsets, or the amazing architecture of the factions asian inspired buildings, everything is awesome. I have not travelled all across the maps yet, but i can tell you its cool.

4: Need help! Look no further!

HENCHMEN! HOW COOL IS THAT! And if you have Nightfall, YOU GET A FREAKIN HERO, LIKE HOLY COW! In Guold Wars, they have created NPC's that become party members, all you have to do is add them just like you would a normal player. And as you get to farther away / Stronger places, they level up. They start at three, and go to 20, WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT TOPIC!

5: Level 20 cap, Good or Bad?

I think it could be better personally, i would like to see a lift to 30, because 20 is too short, and 40 would make me think of WoW. But this allows players to get good items fast, and not have to buy 1000 skills like in any other game as they procees to level 100 or whatever, its a life waster. When you hit 20, there is more than you think. There are many more things to be killed, and dont worry, high levels arent all about PvP, there is very rare armor somewhere, all you have to do is solve the puzzle.

6: PvP VS PvE, Enie menie mini mo.

In this game, you can either start level 1, or start at level 20. In PvP mode, you can choose what equipment you want, what skills you want. Only thing is, you have to unlock them first. Along the way in PvE, you will unlock a rune (Power up for items) that can be used. Not only will it be on your armor, you can use it in PvE. PvE lets you customize your armor from colour to type, magic to strength, stats from other stats, and skills. For example, say we make a Warrior, and make him a sword warrior. We give gim a sword, attach a strength grip, add an enchantment, give it colour, and BAMOOZAKAHWAHMO, a Sword. Uber infact. (If you have th right stuff) And the same goes for everything else.

7: "Doctor, whats wrong?" "Im sorry, but you have SPLIT PERSONALATIES!"

The great think is that you dont have to chose one profession, you can have two. And they all balance out, like a Warrior / Monk, who can take damage and heal too. Or a Necro / Mesmer, they wont know where the hell they are, and before they know it, there will be a bone minion ripping their freakin head off. Or a Necro / Monk, so they can heal their minions. The possibilaties are endless. (Well, it can end, but who cares?)

8: SOLDIERS, REPORT TO BASE IMMEDIETALLY!

Of course, in Guild Wars, you ask "where does Guild come in?" Well every game MUST hame a guild / clan system to make it good, and guild wars takes it to a whole new level. First, you need mates, so recruit, bribe if you will. Good, now design a cape. The capes are sweet, you can design any part of it, from the trim to logo, from background to lining, its crazy. Now we need a place to meet, how about the main city like any other game? Naw too crowded, how about the burning isle? naw, too many uber monsters. HEY! Lets go to our GUILD HALL!!!! Yes, i said it, you can have your own guild hall, from so many to choose from too! like a rooftop of a castle to the lava pits of the underworld, Anywhere is possible. But its not cheap, i might add.

9: Story line.

No funny name for this topic i must say, its too serious for one. Games like WoW, Fiesta, whatever, have no story, or not one you can follow. The game is al story, and your character talks too! The stories are interesting and cliff hanging, wanting you to go kick more creature butt to hear and see more.

10: The World Is Your Playground.

My final topic is how you enter a portal, into an area where monsters are and.... Hey, where is everyone? Thats right, no ones area is the same. When you enter a combat area, your the only one, but when in towns, there are people. the only time someone is with you in a combat area is if you are in a party. this is the best thing about Guild Wars (Almost i guess) Becuase you dont have to wait for those damn monsters to respawn cuz that dumb gnome just killed it. No sir eehh, its there, and you can do whatever you want with it. Like kill it for instance.

Ain't all PvP, repetetive?
I suggest for them to add a Free-4-All Arena.
Everyones the enemy, the person with most kills would win.
Atleast, 4-8 People in the map.
And vast like, in AB.
And I know all classes are good in taking down foes, Monks can Knock the hell out of enemies, Warriors can just go Glad Defence to kill thos Sins^^.
Anyway, PvP is good, I suggest to get all Campaigns, but I remeber Prophecies having too little community, did it grow?
Anyways^^, It's fun.
And Wiseguy, why are you having a hard time finding henchies in your level?
Graphics is fine with me especially if all are high^^.

The problem with prophecies is that the community is spread too far and too thin throughout its humongous campaign.

PvP is always refreshing, unless you keep getting idiots in RA and keep losing, haha.

The graphics are fine, some of you gamers are spoilt.

I don't think PvP is repetitive. Builds are always changing which requires teams to think of new strategies.

MrWafflez

Yeah, the company really helps the game out a lot too. Good events and everything. They let me down a couple times way back when I was active, like when they threatened to/and did I believe, nerf the 55 Monk build.

A few things I would like to add:

- in your guild halls you can buy merchants/NPCs that will be there so you don't have to visit a town or an outpost to buy skills, runes, materials or anything else.

- in your guild hall you can do scrimmage from 1vs1 to 8vs8 (max) against each other for training purposes as also unrated guild VS guild with your alliance guilds also for training purposes.

- alliance channel and alliances for up to 9 guilds per alliance!

- 3 campaigns, 1 expansion and 1 bonus mission pack(in which you can jump into the past of 4 different characters and go through their story as them, Gwen as example)

- dungeons, the old temple of the kings, Heroes Ascent tournaments, the underworld and Riss, Hero Battles, random arena, team arena, dwarf knuckles tournaments, Magi Bison Norn Tournament, Asura Polymock battles (on plattforms) and A LOT more!

- Nightfall and Eye of the North have fully customizeable heroes for you to unlock and take with you in your trips. Some you get through quests, others through tournaments after you face them as opponents and win against them(also one from prophecies and one from factions).

- timed missions, cooperative missions, Rank Listing missions, transformations and lost of other unique stuff.

- 10 different professions that can be mixed? Tons of Pets to charm (your heroes can have their own pets too ^^).

- Your own hall of monuments on which you can show your visitors your heroes, titles, mini pets (birthday presents or special ones), weapons and armor sets.

- unlockable stuff from eye of the north for Guild Wars two!

- last but not least: ONE WORLD with many districts that connects the whole world instead of splitting us.

Have fun!

When i palyed (lv. 16 Derv/Necro -- Ultimate build btw) I had only scratched the surface.. i figure i just need some cash soi can get me a nice scythe and the rest of my armor, its super expensive like 2mill a piece it hurts to buy it but however i like the 20 max cap it keeps it skill worthy not, "Hey dude i got level 86 now i can pwn you, silly level 85." That sort of game makes it a grind-fest by nature and usually the monsters range from level 1-40 your fighting some sort of bunny/mouse to level 40-70 your fighting tigers and FINALLY 70-max you kill something fun -.- its pointless how all F2P games are very un-original..
