Rating: - MMORPG without all the BS.
Guild Wars is a sweet MMORPG for those of us who don't wanna put up with all the crap WOW brings. There are no monthly fees to play online, no spawn killing, and it has a much more reasonable level cap (I hit it within 4 weeks of casual playing) meaning that skill determines victory more so than time invested. The ability to teleport to any town you've previously visited cuts out more WOW BS, I shouldn't have to walk everywhere or wait for public transportation in a game. The game also provides computer henchman you can have accompany so you don't suffer from not having a full party when your friends aren't on or if you just don't like playing with randoms. Factions provides two new character classes, the Assassin and the Ritualist providing even more diversity to the game. Factions also has its own missions and lands that become connected to the original game when it is installed. All in all a great investment for those who wanna try an MMORPG without the commitment required of WOW.
