RPG competition

Y is Guild Wars better then other RPGs? What separates it from Everquest, WarCraft, Asheron's Call, or even Morrowind?

.....

Im my oppinion Guild Wars is a different game than Everquest, and pretty much of the MMORPG, because it's using a very different system.

first of all you can play with everyone you want, you don't have to choose a specific server and stick your char to that server and make a new one to play with one of your friend on another server.

Second they also make the difference by avoiding annoying stuff you see in the other mmorpg, such as Monster spawn camp.. ( which was pretty ugly imo ) with the instanced server it's impossible.

Also the competition in PvP is also better than the other mmorpg. 8 skills max, no uber tank with all the skills and ready for every sitiation, it's all about strategy and playing as a team. Also with the 20 lvl cap (and the lvl requirement in pvp arena ) make it so you will never see a lvl 60 guy taking a poor lvl 15 guy.

and there is a lot of more stuff i prefer in GW than any mmorpg, of course there is downside to this game but in overall GW win ( imo again ) on all mmorpg i'v played so far ( played a couple also ^^ )

oh btw it was GW vs other mmorpg.

......

stop with the ...... it's the same as a bump and the mods get very mad when people bump for no reason!

and to answer the question, i don't get PKed XD and no huge amounts of farming, so those of us who are not hard core gamers can still play and not suck.

Hes just doing it to increase his standing at the fourms, just look at all the threads started by him.

Thats the third ...... in TWO posts I have read in the last two minutes. Do you have a virtual speach impediment?

*sighs*

GW is not an MMORPG. It is an "action" RPG/FPSish kind of game. The others, Everquest, WoW and such are true MMORPGs.

BTW, the ..... was not to increase my forum status, lol, the topics werent being replied to and questions werent being answered. I guess I reacted wrong, but jeez, y r u guyz so harsh about it. LOL, wont happen againO

Post count means bugger all on these forums... you post something like that again and I'll report you for trolling.

Also...

On another note allow me to remain you of one of the forum guidelines:

So here is how your last post should have looked:

By the way, the .... was not to increase my forum status, lol, the topics weren't being replied to and questions weren't being answered. I guess I reacted wrong, but jeez, why are you guys being so harsh about it. LOL, won't happen again

Your breaking the forum rules by bumpin/replying to posts with complete rubbish and your lack of English and basic grammar.

This is not a freaking chat room so speak English for the love of god! Do you spell "guys" like "guyz" in school? If so I think you teacher should slap you up side the head.

My bad guy(s)......Or should I say... The inapropriateness of my improper speach and tone of the English language was completely and utterly absurd, and I shall refrain from using such nonsense talk in the Guild Wars chatrooms. For all of those people I offended or infuriated with five little dots, please note that I clearly state in this amendment, or rather contraction, that I meant no harm....lol....I mean...laughing out loud

As a soon-to-be high school teacher, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that, Firebat. It made my morning. And made me sad that corporal punishment is frowned upon these days

What seperates Guild Wars from WoW, Everquest, Lineage I & II etc.

1. Guild Wars is a COORPG ( new tactics, new system and so on )
2. This one does a big sence. For example, it doesn't matter if you have the "best" or the "coolest" armor. It's about skill, true skill like in "Counter-Strike"
3. Better graphic
4. More realistic
5. etc...

and no monthly fee...

Guild Wars certainly has by far the best graphics of all current MMO games out there. It has the same "realistic" graphics as Everquest (as opposed to the more cartoony World of Warcraft), but is simply much more vibrant and alive than Everquest.

I am running Guild Wars on a mid-range video card (ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 on a laptop), but even on this, Guild Wars look so much better than every other game I've ever seen (on Console or PC).

Interesting that you point out that Guild Wars uses "true skill" like a FPS. I think it alludes to the greatest difference between Guild Wars and any other popular online RPG out there: it's managed to attract the Counter-Strike style gaming community by stressing the "true skill over grind," and has an in-game community atmosphere that reflects it, whether or not it's actually true. It could be that this is simply the most successful marketing scheme since the Subway guy. Now, I'm not saying this is good or bad. It's just that I find the community is the biggest difference between GW and, say, SWG or WoW.

edited for clarity

That pretty much sums it up, true skill...i guess your right
