Guild Wars is a massively multiplayer online game based in the fantasy world of Ascelon. The player gets to choose from six different professions (Warrior, Ranger, Necromancer, Monk, Mesmer and Elementalist) to explore the huge world of Ascelon. Players will quickly be able to pick up a secondary profession to mix and match skills, creating a fantastic variety of gameplay, since the secondary profession can be just as powerful as the primary. Move on to post-sear portion of the storyline, and the rest of the world opens up - and areas that were once familiar suddenly become very threatening. It takes a small bit of time to get used to some of the movement, especially since there is a no "jump" function (so players will often have to take the long way around certain areas), but most difficulties are easily overcome.
The world of Ascelon becomes the player's private playing ground, which is very impressive given the world's massive size. All creatures killed stay dead, and no one can randomly come around and steal loot. The missions are generally tailored so that they can be completed alone or with a group, although there are one of two missions that will require more than one player to complete, and players will most likely need some help in higher level missions. The downside to this is that being in your own private world means that there is no chance of bumping into strangers who might want to join up with you or give alast-minute rescue or healing when you are in danger. Luckily, the death penalty isn't bad. It can often be difficult to find specific players or people to join your party among the sea of people, but more on that in a bit.
Still, Guild Wars is a game that can easily played and returned to. Exploring the beautiful world is almost reason in itself to play. Finding the right combination of abilities and attributes to get through both the campaign and PvP arena is a strong draw, especially when there are so many to find and select from. While the story can be a little hard to keep track of, which can be often the case in MMORPG games, the cut scenes marking milestones in the story are compelling. For those people who aren't so interested in story, the fact that they can jump right into PvP play is also a strong draw. Let's not forget the fact that there is no monthly fee required in order to play, making Ascelon a great place to revisit and Guild Wars a game that players can stick to for a very long time.
Guildwars is a game which DOES NOT require a monthly fee unlike other MMORPGS and is only a one time payment.
I Find guildwars to be a worthy game and you should try it if you are willing to buy it.
