Its got the potential, but it isn't quite there

After playing Guild Wars since the beginning of its debut, I figured I should write a review about it. At the beginning I was addicted...for a while. I really enjoyed the lush environments and the amazing art...which I still do. The battles were fairly fun and SOME of the missions were exciting. This was the prophecies version, set in the world of Tyria. There was also the always fun experience of getting loot. The loot in the beginning was easier to come by and this loot was cool. Cool weapons, shields, etc. The skills were new and exciting. However, slowly over the life of the game, its value went down. The loot began to get nerfed and it was harder to get good drops. The fanbase went down and so less people were around to play the missions you had to get done. Also the new mission of the developers, it seemed, was to focus everything on fighting and not so much looting. The battles were great and all, but you couldn't create a good pve game out of it. My interest in this game faltered, and I found myself taking monthly breaks from it.

In my opinion Guild Wars is a good casual game. If you need something to kill time, or just feel like messing around on a semi-mmo game, play some guild wars. If you're looking for a more developed universe online, with more people, better looting capabilities, and something just...more try a different mmo.

Nonetheless, there are still some great aspects to the game. The environments are breath-taking. Guild Wars has some of my favorite art in it of any video game to date. In my personal opinion that alone is enough to at least check out the game.
