is it still worth getting guild wars? i was thinking of getting the compilation pack for $40. but since GW2 is coming out will it be pointless to get GW? cause arent they completely different unlike WoW and its expansions where they just add on to the world? also, is it like WoW? cause i just recently stopped playing WoW becuz of the montly subscription and am looking for a similar game without the subscription. i primarily PvE and raid/dungeon so will GW suffice? Thanks!

Never too late, game is really fun despite the age and packs quite a lot of value. Even has new content being made to bridge the gap between it and Guild Wars 2.

it's probably gonna be hard to find players when you're trying to do certain missions, but there a ton of people still playing so if you can find a few friends, they'll probably walk you through missions if you don't wanna be alone w/ bots.

Do you have to play Guild War 1 to be able to understand Guild Wars 2?

You can play with bots instead of real players.

Always this talk of war, "no peace only war" says the lonely warrior on the guilded battlefield, replies the devil "war is just, so we must" without fear for death is but a passage into dimensions guilded with folded yet brisque gold that tells the story to none for once you know you can never show...........what you know......beause you can't......because you're dead.....get it now?.....i hope so....sheesh

Trust me on this. guild wars is worth every penny. Yes gw2 is coming out sometime in the future, but there is no release date, only rumors, and arenanet have stated in blog posts that they will not be shutting down gw1 servers due to them being very efficient. so in any case you don't have to worry about the servers being shut down or being phased out by newer products.

if your looking for something like WOW but without subs then Lord of the rings online may be more to your liking. i think champions online went F2P also. guild wars is the online RPG for those who hate MMOs. its nothing like wow. if you do want guild wars then expect a completly different type of game. i love it mind and am really looking forward to GW2.

Nah, Guild Wars is effectively dead; if you want an MMO atm besides WoW then I would go with LOTRO (personally). The story/old school exploration element is kind of appealing.
