Default Why Guild Wars IS 1 Of the BEST MMO's Out There

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.
