I'm wondering if anybody here has this game? It's a strictly online game which you don't have to pay to play each month.

Several of us here had been playing the game since it's E3 open event last fall and participated in the monthly betas as well. I personally do not play it anymore, even after getting the beta pre-order. I became more interested in World of Warcraft, and I wasn't keen on many of the changes made to the game during the beta (particularly the interface). I'm not sure who, if anyone, purchased the final game and is playing it actively.

No, I was dissapointed with most of the interface changes and it was enough to put me off from buying the game, coupled with my lack of free time during the last semester.

I am actively playing it and love it. We have a guild of about thirty members, we PVP regularly, have our own guild hall and many of us have at least one ascended character.

Guild Wars is a fantastic game. Comparing it to other MMORPGs and taking into account you don't have any monthly fees - I have no problems with it whatsoever. It's awesomeness.

I've got it too, but prefer World of Warcraft. If money is an issue, get Guild Wars. If you can pay the fees, get Warcraft. Like most things, you get what you pay for.

I am soo Adicicted to This game.... I have my own guild too. 18 members, Guild hall, and just starting to get into Guild battles...

I've only had the game for a little over a month and allready I have well over 150 hours of play on just one of my 4 characters...

I don't have any other Online games to compare it to since I refuse to pay monthly for anything I already payed like $50 for... But I'm loving Guild wars...

I'll have to keep my eyes open for you when I'm playing.

And the Guild that Rivin has, at last count has almost 70 members.

I played for a bit but found it way too easy... Now I play World of Warcraft.

What's your name? I think I took you off my friend list because you never were on and I assumed you didn't buy it.

My Fiancee bought it and we both play... Though he gets to play at night after work and I get to play during the day. I only have a level 3 monk character right now, just played it for a few hours this morning, but I like it so far.

What's your name on GW?? I'd be willing to add you to my friends list so we can talk at least, quite likely party together if you want to.

For those of you interested, my main character is Marga Alton, she's a lvl 17 Elementalist/Monk for now, secondary class changing at least briefly once I become Ascended.

Four years on... anyone still playing this? It's pretty cheap on Steam so I have been thinking of buying <_<

I jump on it every now and again. If you get the Nightfall expansion, the Dervish class is sweet for dps! Plus I think the different locations are awesome.

I despise the fact you cannot jump in that game. You'll have some objective right next to you but on another side of a fence. Because of that you'll have to take a long trip allllll the way around to get where you need to go instead of hopping over a fence.

Yep. lol

Even with all it's insane annoyances they added in like daily challenges and such now that I am now hopelessly addicted to.

It's a fun game. You will find it very limited compared to Warcraft though - I happened to play it and love it in a happy time between SWG and WoW - but for what it is, Guild Wars is a very well made game which is fun and really quite immersive. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

I am only level 7 so far, but I am enjoying the fact that I don't have to group with other random players. Is it possible to play the entire game like this? I know I have had one quest so far that requires someone elses help, but overall it feels a lot more like I'm playing a single-player game... except when I go into a town, but even then I haven't been anywhere thats busy like Stormwind or Undercity.
