..and I noticed many similarities in my game..compared to GW... I'ts no wonder I love this game...enjoy....
Similar races:
ASURA = Miyan
these guys live in the trees instead of the ground... but they are similar in size and personality....
Norn = Hylorian
The Hylorian in my story would be able to transform into any animal they touched...
Charr = Nubien
okay...well... so they look nothing like each other... but they are similar in personality... The clanlike Nubien start out as the enemies... but they are misunderstood and later become allies.
Customizable characters:
The one on the left I actually made a 3d game model of... in Maya
Professions:
MMO's were not popular back then... but in my game you could still choose a 'class' ....My version of the assasin:
Even the left side of my map reminds me of GW:
....and of course no game would be complete w/out an evil archenemy:
I think Kane here looks a lot like Gwen:
and yeah they have something alike 
... I am in telecommunications... but I'm thinking about going back to school for some type of game dev. degree... but I now have a family... so its hard to break into the business.... I have a huge box of folders with game Ideas that I may just organize and send to some game companies anyway.
