Totally rocks, but i think that Nightfall is the best out of all three thanks to the heros.!

Excellent MMO I love the no-sub model. The roleplay isn't great but the PvP is spectacular. I definitely dig GW way more then WOW now...

Have all 3 games, looking forward to the expansion coming out this month-end. I like the subscription-free business model, that way I don't have to spend most of my free time playing it so I can make the most out of my monthly fee.

And level 20 is just the beginning, it's just a number!

And it doesn't have quests like hunt for 3,564 spider legs, and the spiders who drop it don't guarantee a drop every kill.

This is an amazing game because of the unique online gaming style. From the outposts and towns to the crazy guild system. This is an all around excellent game.

All though after level 20 with one campaign it does get a little boring. But the add ons are coming so quickly that I dont have enough time to get bored with the one I am on.

Over all great game. Check it out

I was a Beta Tester; I would have liked it if it never went out of beta. That way the community would have stayed excellent. The game would have been for the casual gamer and only open on the weekends and the bugs would get fixed by the next weekend.

I just love this game! Finished it with a Elementalist,Monk and Necromancer! If it wasn't for this game, my own game development would probably twice as far as it's now.

Great RPG that's just a tad frustrating at times. Very nice-looking characters and world. Still, not enough to nudge out my time in WoW.

A one-two punch, it's everything I love about RPGs but it's online, multiplayer, and without the random and turn based battles. Then, it combines competitive play with RPG elements, resulting in top of the line PvP.

I have the first game/campaing.
At first is very good, but gets very repetitive. Almost everything is kill kill and kill. Lacks more depth and variety.

I dislike a lot not being a truly MMORPG, you just share city with other players, everything else is instanced dungeons/zones just for your group.

GFX are quite well, thought, best ones out there at the moment. And having bots to fill groups comes very handy sometimes.

For me it's the best MMO out there.

The PvP gameplay is really awesome and ANet really cares about the game's balance.

One of the last bastions of decent non-subscription MMOs. Though it does get tedious after a while, especially if half your guild sods off halfway through the campaign...

This game is great! You don't have to pay monthly and it is as good as World of Warcraft. Give it a chance, and you will like it!
And the dimensions are very small, a completely diffrent feeling. So the maximal level is 20, not 60 like in WoW oder 250 in Biosfear (took me over 6 months of playing, then got bored)

I gonna buy the Addons for Guildwars soon.

Cya ingame!

Been hooked on this game for the last 16 months and I don't see myself leaving soon. Not for everyone, but most definately for me.

This game is definitely not all it's cracked up to be. I got bored after a few hundred hours (haha) of playing.

Game is good the first time around, but the lack of sidequests destroy any replayability. Got to level 20, got bored and stopped playing.

I find this game made a nice change from the chores of WoW, on this game the quests actually meant something, whether it was rescuing a group of people, or legging it from the charr, they were more fun that going to fetch 60 tusks of some animal for some old woman on WoW.

the only problem is that even with the quests being more fun, the game gets a little boring later on, im not sure what it is, whether its just the dull graphics, moody setting or the repetativeness of the quests what causes me to get bored of it pretty quickly.
