The first time I played this game, I stayed up past 1 in the morning trying to get as far as I could in pre-searing. One day, I played it 9 hours straight due to its immense game play and deep story line. One of the great features in this game is its selection of professions to choose from. There are 6 to choose from. Mesmer, which is an illusionist, is most effective on spell casting characters. Necromancers sacrifice health to heal, curse spells, or raise the dead. Elementalists, which are my favorite, are major damage dealing professions. Choose air, fire, earth, or water to aid you in battle. Warriors use brute force to scare weaker proffesions and execute quickly. If you choose a Monk, you can heal fellow teammates, or smite opposing foes! The ranger is one with nature and can get an animal companion to help in a brawl. They specialize in using a bow to defeat enemies. Even though the story line is fantastic, the PVP mode is even better! There are 4 different ways to PVP. They have a plenitude of arenas to battle in. In Competition Arenas, you are randomly put into a group and fight it out gladiator style. To me, this is the beginner PVP mode because you may not get a healer, so it can be easy or hard. Then you have Team Arenas where you assemble a team and fight against man made teams. This is much harder than Competition Arenas, because every team usually has a healer, and you have to take them out first. If you are godly at PVP mode, you should try Hall of Heroes. In this, you fight other countries! Isn't that awesome!? This is highly advised for experienced PVPers only. If you are good enough, you can get to the last stage in it, which is called Hall of Heroes, watch out of Korea!!! They are amazing at this game and will literally take out your team in a matter of seconds. I've expierenced this first hand countless times. In roleplaying mode, if you're in a guild, you can do something called a Guild Battle. This enables you to fight other guild to make your rank higher and rating greater. Overall, get this game at your local video game store because this game never ends! Build your character from scratch, chose your profession, and get started! What are you waiting for!?!
