Now that I'm MMO-less (and FoM does NOT count as your traditional MMORPG)... Is this game alot better than WoW? In terms of eye candy, I definitely love the looks alot more than the cartoony WoW ones. But like, fun factor wise... Cause like I said before, I'm not big into fantasy stuff (more sci fi), so... Worth it? I heard it's more action orientated (ala Diablo2) and less like your traditional MMORPG level treadmill.

And a quick question: All players are on one server right? But the cities are divided into districts? And everything's instanced to a degree right? Does it feel less MMO because you don't see alot of people running around in the world? Just wanted some of your comments on that. Thanks :)

Yea i have to say it does feel a lot less MMO with the district thing but once you get used to it its really nice as it alows you to do your won thing occasionaly. As for fun it is a lot of fun ive played a little bit of WoW and i found it sorta average compared to this.

So if your getting one id deffinetly get this as its really worth what you pay.

Guildwars is a great game and i love it, but WoW is a lot better imo. Thats just my opinion though, you may disagree if/when you try it. :)

When you create an account you can choose whether you want to play US or Europe server, we've been voting on which we should all use. It doesn't really matter which you pick right now but when it comes to guild halls n stuff we'll all need to be on the same one afaik. (You can only change server 5 times per account too)

Give it a try dude, its free as there are no subscription charges so its just a matter of buying yourself a copy and trying it. :thumb:

Wow.. I can't dissagree with you more. :) but then agian it is just your opinion after all :)

My opinion i sthat GW is far more complete than WoW. And it help that alot of the GW team is former BLizzard folk.
