Just a few of questions

I'm seriously considering getting Guild Wars. i have a brand new computer with plenty good specs to run the game very well, so that's no issue. i just have a few other questions.

1) is there enough character customization in this game to make your character feel at least moderatly unique?

2) are there rare items that are hard to find and are really something special if you have them? (like good uniques in diablo 2)

3) is the game world big and/or interesting? it's not a bore to travel around in is it?

4) how is the playability? is it easy to play, but not shallow? is the interface good?

5) is character development fun and interesting?

6) lots of items?

7) are the monsters cool? and is there a wide variety of them?

8) how is the games difficulty?

9) lasting appeal?

10) are there lots of quests? and are the quests fun?

11) are the classes well balanced?

so yeah that's pretty much it. i guess i just basically wanna know how good the game is haha. I am a huge rpg fan, but don't like super complicated stuff, i like games that are easy to play, but have depth and lasting appeal.

thanks!
