This is intended as a joke and I do not believe WoW is better then GW and I do not care to discuss it.

Please, take a look at this video. It's hilarious

The video? Hilarious. WoW? Still $15 a month to play. Guild Wars? Better.

GW = $0 a month because that's how much you get a month out of the online component after you finish the "storyline". If the next patch, whenever the **** it is, isn't monumental I'm packing it up and leaving most likely.

Plainly put, this is a single player game with a mandatory online component marketed as a "free mmorpg type thing" even though there is nothing present in this game to WARRANT a monthly fee. Which is precisely WHY this game is free. People will pay to play World of Warcraft or Everquest. if Guild Wars had a monthyl fee NO ONE would be playing it.

WoW > GW

If only WoW was free each month, it would be amazing, but alas I can handle a monthly fee as long as they keep delivering the great patches that have been rolling out recently.

From my experience, If GW had a monthly fee, people would still be playing it, but like real MMOs, no one would complain they didn't get their moneys worth :P

I think the purpose of GW was to be the "perfect" online gamer's game, with no upkeep fees (the biggest problem of MMOs) and frequent maintenance that doesn't disrupt gameplay. As far as it goes, I think Anet's done great for these -restrictions- but they are restrictions. No fee means less payment for people upkeeping servers and designing new content.

For what it has it's great. I just think that people need to learn that with no monthly fee there's the drawback of less frequent updates and added content.

I may be getting WoW soon even though the servers have a year on me. Dropping $30 every other month on a gamecard doesn't sound bad in exchange for a persistant world AND some sense of in game legitimacy.

I am bored out of my ****ing mind on Guild Wars.

lets face it, GW is OK....but not 15$ worth of OK....


WoW is worth the 15$ a month, GW is barely worth the free fee after a month of playing...boring!

I've played WoW, and I wish I had those hours of my life back. You seem to hate GW because theres not as much to do. In WoW, the reason theres so much to do, is because they want you playing for months.

whats wrong with that?

If you cant balance youre own life with a game, then dont play it.

From the looks of it, WoW is incredible in each way.

Guild wars is sub ppar compared to it

Jumping to conclusions, although I purposely did that assuming you would jump at it. People already have the same complaints about WoW, look at blizzard's forums (actually, they delete any complaints so thats not a great example, look at bnet forums on weekends with no mods). Now imagine if they wouldn't feel completely retarded about playing an inferior game for a monthly fee. The complaints would skyrocket.

But that is the problem, Guild Wars lacks ANYTHING to do.

I did the large majority of quest (I missed the ones in UW and FoW) and realized that I done everything in the game.

The game lacks quests, you run out of class quests the moment you done everything in Yak's Bend and you run out of quests the moment you done everything in Forge, South Shiverpeeks is a very boring place.

WoW, depending on how long you play it, could easily cost upwards of $100. GW costs $40. For that price difference, I can deal with a little less content.

sigh, that was a lot of lawn mowing
