My first impressions... (quite long)

Backwash

I followed WoW for a bout half a year and was all for it untill i heard about Guild Wars, made by the former Blizzard greats with nice feedback and mint graphics to boot i immediatley diverted most of my attention to this game. I have read a fair share about this game but i cant get enough!! It sounds awsome, so far i have figured some really good things out about this game...

The graphics ofcourse are sweet.

It actually requires skill! Not just dedication.

The missions sound awsome ranging from all out war to solo missions againt the computer to capture the flag type senarios!

You get to coustomize a lot! From your physical appearance to the weapons you weild its all coustomisable.

PvP is said to be awsome.

Its straight to the point! No grinding corpse runs or travelling long distances to return a measly item to a quest giver.

There are also some things i would like to know more about...

How the game actually plays, how fun is combat?

How much can you interact with your surroundings?

How much new content will be released?

How big is the world you play in?

Do you have to play missions in order to play? Can you just level up in areas set aside for leveling?

How much in game support do arena soft offer?

And some things i that might not be so sweet...

How many times can you play the same mission before you find the game completely boring? (D2)

Also this is pretty minor but dont you think the human characters are a bit ... ugly? E.G.

And this one is the same....

The warriors seem too big if you know what i mean...

Also, the face seem very blank... Expecially the dark necro chick...

I gathered all this from what i read on www.guildwars.com but feel free to correct agree diagree or argue any points...

I think the character models look pretty good.  Including the "anerexic chick".  And I didn't think that link you gave to the humans looked ugly.  She turned me on, er did I just type that.  Anyway, the only model I didn't like to much was the male necromancer.  He looks girly, and not evil and dark like a male necromancer should.

I think reserving judgement until one plays the game is best.
