Pros: No monthly cost, great game-play, great skill system, competitive, game-play rely on players skill.

Cons: No gravity, you cant jump on and off platforms, you cant swim and can be hard to find others for grp

This is the game i have been playing for long without losing interest in it.
Before that i was playing world of warcraft, but as i recall, i stopped for months after every expansion.

The best thing about this package is that you get all their expansions for just 19 and it is much more expensive to buy them separately.

Guild wars is an MMORPG/CORPG which has well designed three-dimensional environments and a big variety in content. The game-play it self does not rely so much on items as on player skill and build.

The game itself has a wonderful story, which is told to the player by completing cooperative missions in the first original guild wars - prophecies. Every mission has two objectives - a bonus one and the regular one, and has cut-scenes that tell you the story and the objectives. Some of them can be really hard to beat, but if you have a good group that is not a problem.

The bad thing about this game is that it does not have a gravity. You cant climb up cliffs or rocks, you cant fall of cliffs or high platforms, you cant swim, and you cant jump, which makes the freedom a bit "not so free".
The world is instanced, and you cant see every player when you go out exploring, you can see just your group.

One of the things a liked about this game is the character customization.
You have different faces, hairs, and every class has its own unique customization. You can even change the height of your character. When you give him a name, you can use two or three names which offer more flexibility. The creation of character is pretty quick, and you can start right away. If you do not want to go through all the story telling and leveling, you can start a max level player-versus-player character and go into the competitive game-play right away. I my self like to see the story, level my character, and then go into the pvp. The pve is also really good in my opinion. If you like finishing different challenging quest with addictive objectives pve is the character for you. Some people say that this game doesn't offer much pve, but i say otherwise. I completed so much quests and i find i more enjoyable than completing quests in world of warcraft.
The secret is in the "variety of the objectives of the different quests"

The games interface is pretty clean and accurate. You have your radar, which you can draw on for different purposes. You have your skill bars in the bottom-middle. The familiar messages and chat window and your health/mana and portrait.

An important thing here is to get into a good guild, and start pvp-ing and gvg-ing. GvG games are pretty fun and competitive. Everything depends on your skills - the players skill, and the strategy and tactics of your team mates.

Other than that, there is so much to say about this game.
I am going to say that this is one of the top most addictive and best mmorpg/corpg game, and in my opinion it wipes world of warcraft again, because not only it doesn't have a monthly subscription, your success relies on YOUR SKILL, on HOW YOU PLAY, not how many times have you spend playing.

It's a must for every mmorpg/corpg/rpg adorer!

Conclusion: The greatest mmorpg/corpg I have ever played, its cheap, you do not pay fees per month, and well made.
