Guild Wars vs World of Warcraft

It's all a question about depth, really.

Having played both titles, World of Warcraft has a bigger, deeper feel to it. Guild Wars just seems so basic and the areas, quests, and gameplay seems so much more limited, plus the graphics seem washed-out.

My vote is for World of Warcraft, for the larger social interaction, deeper gameplay, nicer graphics, riding, and flying mounts. Not to mention that I have a great many friends who play World of Warcraft, and most have never even heard of Guild Wars.

Which game do you like better? Guild Warsor World of Warcraft?Speedy454545

guild wars has a faster gameplay while world of warcraft is more slower and very mono-like where all the animations look very similar.

wow is a bigger game in terms of landscape compared to guild wars, but the areas are very similar to each other

guild wars has a much better player vs player content than world of warcraft

so for me personally i like guild wars much better cause i can just log in and play for 5 mins and have fun and go on play another game and it also doesnt have a monthly fee

Yea that is what I love about Guild Wars. Its a game where you do not have to spend 5+ hours playing, you can just play 10 minutes then leave.

I do not know anybody who was logged into WoW for just 10 minutes then left, they are always on raids or farming for stuff which takes 2 hours + atleast.

I cannot wait for Guild Wars 2! Although I do miss playing WoW a little bit.

Hahahaha

Seriously, they're not even remotely similar games, except that you can generally get things done faster in Guild Wars (I'm assuming by depth you mean it takes longer to finish things, since there are of course far more unique skills in Guild Wars than in WoW). I play both, but Guild Wars is quite a bit better.

WoW is a good game, but grinding sucks. Trying to find a group to through a dungeon can be tiresome. I did not enjoy paying the monthly fee so I canceled it.

I am going to try Guild Wars next.

If WoW did not have that monthly fee I would still play it some time. The monthly fee made me start to hate playing it, I felt I had to play it some days to get my money's worth.

Both are good. But I dare not to say anything about one to another for that I would be asking for trouble and hate messages. LOL. The only thing I can say which everybody can agree is that WOW sucks for which we have to shell-out $15 dollars a month. Which Guild wars is FREE!!!! Both are good games. ^_^

WoW, especially if you have a good group of friends/guild to play withkruesader

bingo.

I played Guild Wars for over a year, and while it's quite fun and there's plenty of things to do, It's just striking how much more there is to World of Warcraft. I've only been playing WoW for a few months but I'm certainly having more fun (so far). My main problem with GW was that in later expansions the missions just got so hard and you really needed to find a good group to play with, which I could never seem to find. With WoW I've had no problem doing this, I usually can't run around questing without bumping into someone on the same quest, and then team up with them for a while.

With WoW I like how open it is, you can be running down a road and see other people walking around, you only get this is GW in towns. But I guess there is less time wasting in GW since you can just click on the map to get to a place, while WoW you have to walk or spend money on being flown.

With GW it's really good how you can change your characters build easily and without any fuss, so you can have a bunch of builds to suite different situations like soloing or group missions. Where with WoW it costs you money to do this, and it costs more each time so you really need to pick a build and stick with it.

I think it depends on what you want, WoW has a superior PvE portion while GW has superior PvP. I can't say I'm a fan of PvP in either game but people that I know that have played both extensively say GW is better for PvP.

Have fun

I don't really care about graphics, when it comes down to it, its gameplay, depth, and social interaction.

It goes to WoW, but I'm not crazy about the fees...

If WoW were free, I'd snap it up in an instant GW for me... when does the sequel come out?nizzleton

Wait till Q2 and play Warhammer Online!!!!

LOL You obviously dont know what a raid is in World Of Warcraft, guild wars cannot math such coordinated, complex boss fights with 25 people.

I think it might be out late 2008, but more likely early 2009. A demo would be sweet!

Guild Wars for Graphics

Guild Wars for Fun

Guild Wars for No Online Fees

I've played both, but prefer GW. Cuz there aint no way in HELL I'm playing both! :)

WOW BY FAR

if 15 dollars is alot for you thats bad lol

WoW pvp is far superior. When I use to heavily play pvp there was nothing better then getting to the rank 14's aka High Warlords and Grand marshals and making pvp guilds. I honestly think no one has ever seen or experience a 80-100 man raid on cities in WoW(Best thing you can ever experience in a mmo.) in this thread. WoW is a phenomenal game and trust those that are telling you this OP, you'll never find a better mmo.

WoW.

With GW I was often frustrated with buggy, vague, or impossible quests and at times bored to tears (especially while travelling).

WoW is superior to GW in every capacity except perhaps graphics, which I think are equal (although as far as creative design GW is lacking somewhat).

With any good MMO, though, you need to have friends play with you. Either RL friends or make some friends in a guild or w/e.
