I've been playing Guild Wars for about three months now, and the game really hasn't felt old yet. Which is a really good thing. Now since you can't play the game offline you would think that you need high-speed internet. The game can be played over dial-up when I'm at home! And since it doesn't need 18 different ports, I can play it from behind my university firewall, which is a MAJOR plus. Other games like Battlefield 2 need many different ports opened, which is not something a university administrator is going to do.

The gameplay is easy to understand, without a huge learning curve neccessary for the basics. To master the game takes a full run through all the missions. If you're starting out I would suggest playing as a warrior/monk you get heavy armor and you can heal yourself. The game is a masterwork, and with new content released in the Sorrow's Furnace update, you can expect the game to be playable for a very long time.

However, the game's plotline well, lets just say that I really don't think that there was much thought put into it. Its kinda dumb. I won't reveal the plotline here since it kinda does spoil part of the game.

Oh and the biggest bonus? NO MONTHLY FEE!!

Okay to summarize
Pros: Game easily playable online, no monthly fee, easy to understand
Cons: Plot is well dumb
