Guild Wars Or WoW Guys ???????? I'm gonna need help on this one.
Comments
lol this is the 100000000000000th post on this topic
They are so different you shouldn't even be comparing them on the same page. If you like WoW you'll likely dislike GWs and if you love guild wars you likely of disliked WoW.
It's like saying should take a train or fly?
Train is WoW... long ended PvE game with some PvP options... Will take you forever (compared to guild wars) to get to "end game" lvl 1.
Plane is Guild Wars... can get to the "end game" pretty darn fast and without seeing much along the way if you don't want to.
it never cease to amuse me with these tread, but w/o a poll, lmao
i concur dude, wow is made for pve
gw is for pvp, dontl ike it? grow up
y fight monster when u get the challenge to compete agasint "real" people?

"World" of Warcraft is a huge world just like it says in the title of the game. Guild Wars is more pvp oriented game just like title says war between guilds. Play whatever you like.
Yah I agree that you cant compare guild wars and WoW they are completely separate games with completely separate game styles. But I will try to compare them based on my experiences with both games. The fallowing is my Personal Opinion.
Guild wars:
More pvp oriented
Balanced(overall)
It looks great
The customer service is wonderful
The events are good
No raiding for loot
Max level is 20(less grind)
No crafting
More casually oriented( you can go into to pvp and join a couple of fights even if you only have 15 min to play)
Very stable gunplay (overall)
Community Sucks
And the best its FREE Monthly payments
Only one race to choose from
World of Warcraft:
Has crafting
Not balanced
The level 1-60 content is fun
Level 60+ is more raid oriented
Lots of time required to raid (less casual content after level 60)
Certain or all servers are unstable
Community Sucks
15$ a month
It looks Cartoons
The charismas and Halloween decorations are nice
Faction imbalance on most servers
More Races
Note: The above is my personal opinion you can disagree with me just please dont flame me.
Agreed, I enjoyed both games alot and comparing them is pointless.

well if you got about $115 to spend get both
i like WoW and Guildwars
yeah, get both
when dont have enough money to pay for monthly fees, u got GW to pass the time (GW no need montly fees)
good points
I have both games but I prefer Guild Wars by a good margin. Once you get to the end of PVE though, you may become disenchanted (lol) with it as I did. If you enjoy the PvP aspects of games (which I do not) then GW would give much more playing time. Just as a general observation, since I havent played it very much, GW's PvP seems to be considered better than WoW's on some forums I have looked at.
Kekule
i never played wow , so i will give my personal experience about guildwars.
im playing since 10 of may ... loving it , and when im not expecting i learn something new , i notice i need something i dont have , and i walk a zone i never did before. people say its more pvp oriented , i dont think its true , pvp is for advenced , you must learn a lot before you can go to pvp and have a decent match. there are 450 skills to unlock for all professions , becose your char have one primary and one secondary profession , and you can change your secondary in high level quests , is possible to unlock all game skills with one rpg char. im not even half of the way of having all skills , i have 1.2 million experience and there i am , almost still a noob comparing to hardcore power players. becose i have a job i dont have that much time to work for unlocking skills , most of the time i just want to have fun with some quest or mission .. or farming for that cool expencive armor , there are plenty of stuff that make you forget that skills is what you need to be really good at the game , being level 20 means so litlle. you can reach level 20 with 10% or less of all skills , and you can reach level 20 in about half of the pve content .. dont think you have finished the game when you reach level 20 , thats the start.
About cumunity , i cant talk about wow comunity cose i never been there , gw comunity as its days and its locations , all missions/quests before " hells percepice " are zones of noobs , some are really great to be with , learn and teach , some are terrible arogant , its the world we live in , i guess. International dist and highlevel quests/missions have better comunity normaly.In Pvp comunity is where you can find the most amazing team work , using voice chat programs , and organized builds .. this is where guildwars become chess , if you like mind jobs , its for you ! but also becose its war and everyone is human , there are lots of flames arrogant name calling and everything else you see in soccer games and stuff where competition is the force.

The thing is:
I love both. WoW is a MMORPG, GW is something like an online-FPS, just with swords and spells instead of guns. Both rock, and both are so different they're uncomparable...
"I never said: Thou shalt not think!" --god
Guild Wars for sure
" WoW is a MMORPG, GW is something like an online-FPS "

FPS you no nothing about guild wars it is not a FPS.It a mmog or massive multiplayer online game
an action rpg(role play game) can you understand that.Should i put in in a way so that even a kindergardner could understand cause if you think its fps(first person shooter) your compreenstion skills are very very very low. Thats my two cents
The thing i don't get is, why are these posts always in the Guild Wars section, and never in the WoW section
Anyway, Guild wars is all about endgame, they really don't care for the other levels. World of Warcraft takes much much longer to get to the end game, so has a better mid game play.
