I dont think you can even compare the 2 games. WoW is a true MMORPG, you have to pass hours to farm stuff to get money, you gotta have at least 4 hours in front of you each time to log or you're just wasting your time, you gotta have that armor that drops at a drop rate of 0.3% in a 40man raid... in fact, you just have to have a lot of time to waste. But is it fun? Hell yeah! It's one of the best immersive game I've ever played. But the thing is, you gotta forget you got a life. With GW, if just something else. You can log whenever you want, PvP games takes rarely more than 15min(compare to 6 hours for an Alterac Valley game in WoW), you can build up your character the way your team needs you. No assassins are the same in GW, different style of playing with different skills and different uses of em, in WoW, when you're a rogue, you got 1 way to play, if you don't do it that way, people tell you you're a noob and no one group up with you after... the community is far more interesting in GW too because again, you got a lot of different ways to play your character. WoW is on the edge of being an elite members game only... It's not a place where fun is welcome, you gotta perform and if you don't, you get ignored pretty fast. So, what I'm saying is this, WoW is for hardcore players and GW is more for common people. Since its not destined for the same population, I dont think its a good thing to compare the 2 games. I think that as a MMORPG, WoW is superior, but again, GW is NOT a MMORPG, its a CORPG... Normally, we should be comparing 2 games of the same type.
There's no war here. WoW has become the new pet rock of the gaming industry. It tops GW in terms of units sold, and it greatly defeats GW in terms of profit.
But, IMHO, Guild Wars is a better game at a better value. Guild Wars actually has "balance," where World of Warcraft is giving Paladins to the Horde because they're unable to create balance even though they have at least 10x the resources that ArenaNet has.
I think we cant compare WoW and GW. Because GW isnt typycal MMORPG (but i cant agree that it is something like OnlineRPG) I Think GW is new type of MMO game. You cant enjoy GW alone... To enjoy GW you need at least 8 friends. But PvP is the best in GW and nothing can compare with it. On the other side, WoW is game for all. You dont need skill, people and you can still enjoy game if u have enough tim. But if u have it, its better of course So imho GW never be sold more than WoW, because GW havent endless PvE (and you need to have great both not only PvP).

Thanks, Heyian
Point taken, I suppose in that way it isn't a mmorpg. Seriously, though, I always thought the corpg was a bit gimmicky, as well it doesn't really take into account the cooperative aspect of the game. Fair enough though, if they say it isn't....I suppose it's not, but I still hold that what makes an mmorpg isn't the distinction between persistant and non-persistant worlds.

It fits the criteria Multiplayer and role playing game, but not massive. there is nothing massive about 8 people in an instanced zone hosted by the player with the fastest connection.

If like 1million player isnt massive what is? U puttin in small words there is just 1 group of 4-8 ppl there are tons of gruop in mission a quest every where! If u jsut multiply the 8 buy like 1000 thats pretty massive..? An i do believe it sould be an mmorpg because its Massive its Multi Online an a rpg how isnt that an mmorpg. But what ever arneanet says it has 2 be.

Well for one if you post the poll here of course GW will win.
Also, as some have said it is not really a competition since WoW has a monthly fee and are taking in millions of dollars every month with that.
Personally I like GW better because it seems to be less of grind, at least now.
edit: And putting semantics aside GW is as much of a MMORPG as say, City of Heroes. In reality while it is different than many other MMORPGS because the combat is instanced, it is still considered an MMORPG by many.
If you are looking at sales and money brought in monthly WoW is the winner by a mile, with something like almost 7 million subscibers now and millions more that bought the game but quit playing now. Burning Crusade will probably increase the popularity of WoW even more with oldtimers coming back and new people buying the game without being 1 year or more behind in experience and equipment. If you are looking at the quality of the games it's almost impossible to make a rational comparison as Guild Wars has been built from the ground up to be completely different from "traditional" MMORPG's trying to create the CORPG genre while WoW is built up trying to be the best "traditional" MMORPG on the market. Having said that I like Guild Wars better atm, but to really appreciate what Guild Wars is trying to do you need to have a "burn-out" on WoW or similar MMORPG endgames with all the grinding for pots and rep, endless raiding killing the same boss dozens of times for your piece of gear to never drop and PvP equipment imbalances, as well as other things. Once I saw through the carrot chase, minmaxing, repetition and imbalanced PvP I wondered why I even stuck so long with the game.
Guild Wars is like 100% better than WoW. In GW there are more mature players than in WoW. The graphics are a lot better and the makers of the game don't suck peoples money in like WoW makers are. I hope WoW will close soon.
If you buy the game, dose not mean at all that you like it. i know ppl that bought wow and din;t like it after i while. i know ppl that play guild wars and hate it as well.. so the selling thing dose not matter what you have to shek is the online game play playes. and from them. and the voting you did of course gw will win it cause it is in a gw forums.. duhh put the same in wow forum wow will win.. and btw gw sucks wow is way better then gw and with the burning cursade it will be much better and more ppl will come. gw is just an other mmorpg that is not as good as wow. beleive it or not wow beats gw so badly it's not funny
Better graphics? yes why? cause WAY MORE PPL play it and it will take all of good pcs so you could play it. and they don;t suck money. they rented the servers so they pay per month how you think they make money? buy making you pay per month as well as them dummy learn to comment plz
There is no point in agruing Guild Wars is the best game. WoW's Graphics to Gameplay suck yet the worst thing is the Monthly Fee. I would play WoW if i didn't have to pay every month yet Blizzard is to cheep. This is a war and Guild Wars will win, Nightfall will be the final nail in WoW's coffin .

GW loses very badly compared to WoW if you can even compare them correctly. I would say WoW stole GW's lunch in GW's case. Plus the WoW exspansion isnt even out yet so dont hold your breath GW fans becuase its un-comparable and its a free game which WoW isnt. Come on People you cant compare an 95% instanced game to a 15% instanced game. Plus in the instanced ares in GW you can only take 8 people. Dont compare these games. Case closed. HARD NEWS STORY.

lol more mature players, in contrast I would say it must have twice as many immature players as well, I have played GW since release and have just recently started playing WOW, and to compare them is silly, as I see wow as more of a traditional mmorg/rpg, (go anywhere do anything type of game) and GW as a online action/adventure (more restricted and trys to channel you down a certain path like most action games) , and both games suck your money in (WOW: online subs/expansion pack) (GW: more expansions and paid for char slots)

I agree on some points but...I dont take up for WoW or GW because in my sense you cant compare the two games. Look i know GW has an exspansion out and i know that WoW doesnt have one out yet, but look at the 2 games. GW only uses 40% of the whole world map in their exspansions. GW is almost 100% instanced for more private play. Even though WoW has some instanced areas the player ratio goes from 5 to 10 to 15 to 20 to 40. So it has almost as much team play in a sense considering it has about* as many instanced areas also known as dungeons as GW. Also the pvp in WoW isnt as good as this game, ill give you that, even i like the pvp in GW. Another point why we shouldnt compare is because you can lvl up to 20 in a day if you wanted. Its like almost having no lvls at all which is exactly why we shouldnt compare to the 60 lvls in WoW, and i am aware that you can lvl up to 60 in WoW in about 2 months. Also dont compare the numbers, GW has sold about 3.5 mil range of copies including an exspansion where in WoW's case you have to pay monthly for it and it doesnt have and exspansion but it has still sold in the range of 6-7 million copies. With that in mind with no exspansion and a monthly fee WoW is still on top. You cant say no matter how hard you wanted to that GW won. Im not saying this cause im a WoW fanboi, I'm just looking at the hard facts and number crunches. Plus im an EVE player that keeps track of most major MMO's sales estimates and dividends. NEXT please.
Guild wars and WOW are both good for their own thing. Guild Wars has excellent multiplayer and graphics, but wow has the fantasy-orientted map and you can do whatever you want to do. BY the way if i recall it properly, in both the guild wars boxes i have for prophecies and factions there is no mention that guils wars is a mmo, so all you people who slate guild wars because its a lousy mmo, ur all wrong. Its a game with an optio nto play with people online... WoW however is much more expensive than guild wars.
Final verdict: Guild wars wins......But the community is rather crappy with all those 'selling runescape account' ppl
