    Hmm...I'm not one to get into a storyline of an MMO, I just play. Then again, every MMO hasn't really grasped my interest to do that. You could try DDO? A voice narrates while your in a dungeon, making it cool .

    Never really found the storyline in WoW, unless you mean the cutscene after making your character.
    It has a lot of background story, though; that's for sure.

    The only games I've played with storyline are FFXI and Guild Wars, which you already mentioned.

    I never really got far into WoW but my friend does not even know Illidan's story.
    I guess there a bit of story IF you played the WC series.

    How is GuildWars' story btw? I'm thinking of picking it up.
    Forgot to buy it during the steam sale on july 4 week now its on sale on gamestop

    yeah theres no story, were only going from world to world killing powerful threats and a old world is getting changed for fun.

    serious: did you read all the quests you did in wow? it explains tons of why stuff is happening and whats going to happen

    Guild Wars currently has 3 games and 1 expansion; each having their own story line. Even though it's not the best story (compared to games like FFX and MGS) it's a good story nevertheless.

    I really liked GW and would recommend it.

    I personally liked GW's storyline. Lots of cutscenes, voice acting and not too bad content. The game's is not that expensive, considering that once you buy it, you can keep playing as long as you want.

    I do believe there's a trial in their site, unless they removed it.

    Please, at least half of the quests consisted of "My house is on fire, go kill boars."
    It does have a lot of background story, which mainly comes from the Warcraft series.
    However, if it wasn't for the previous games, there wouldn't be story at all.

    If that's your definition of a storyline, then so be it.

    while im not saying that all quests follow the story or what ever im sure a couple thousand of the close to 9000 quests wow has are heavily based on story.

    The story that created all the fantasy gaming would be Lord of The Rings. The online game is no different. All the book quests play out into a storyline that intersects the main trilogy in many points of the time line. What could be better than being involved with a game that connects to the origins of all that is fantasy gaming.

    If you dont think Tolkien is the father of fantasy gaming then I suggest a better education.

    WotLK quests really told the story of Arthas and how he became the Lich King.
