It's not a MMORPG, but this isn't the Holy Bible, Quran or Torah. In other words, if you care that much about the purity of a game site generally focused on one genera, you need to have your head checked or get a new hobby.
Hmm...Even AN says in FAQ that GW isn't normal MMORPG. It's exactly like AN syays. GW has many advantages taken from classic MMORPGs and mixing them with AN's own ideas .
In many ways it is, in many ways its not. Technicaly it can fit the profile if you push hard enough. It would be an MMO with a lot of instances. I personally do not believe it is an MMO.

gw isnt my cup of tea, but its definitely a mmorpg....its somewhat massive, its an rpg, and its online...its just a different type of game...embrace change and diversity, dont hate on it.
Taken from the offical guildwars site Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)?
Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences.
Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, kill stealing, and lines to complete a quest.
Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. But Guild Wars eliminates much of the tedium of traveling through the world. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they've previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.
Finally, unlike existing MMOs, all characters in Guild Wars inhabit the same virtual world -- they are not divided onto different servers or shards -- so players can always team up with or compete against any other player in the world.
Ok now STFU about the subject and start enjoying the damn game.
