its a pretty good game considering there is no monthly fee, but its also got its downsides.

1) if you don't have a 128MB graphics card, the lag can be overwhelming at times.

2) you can only reach as high as level 20, so a lot of people stop playing when advancement is no longer possible

3) im pretty sure the most a weapon can have for base damage is 18-35, so don't plan on reaching a stage where you can overpower everybody you come up against

4) guild wars entertainment is at its best in its PvP and the actual wars between guilds. the Cooperative missions that advance you through the game are just that, ways of getting farther. most of the missions in the original game pay very little money compared to the work you have to do in some of them, however if you buy the expansion, money is everywhere.

5) Unlike WoW, you can only have 6 characters (8 if you have Factions Expansion) total, you don't get to make different characters for every server.

the biggest Pro in the game are being able to play the game without the disk, and creating your own guild. you get to choose the island, and you get to buy services for your guild to house, such as a weapon smith or a storage agent. starting a guild costs around 18 platinum (1plat=1000gold), customizing your guild's cape costs 2 plat, and service prices range from 10 plat at the cheapest all the way up to 100 plat.

to be completely honest, if you are looking for an MMORPG, stick with World of Warcraft and just pay the fee. its easiest to buy game cards at gamestop or something where you can pay $45 for 3 months of play instead of having to pay by credit card, and if you are short on dough one month, not playing will not cause you to lose your account. WoW is just much more worth it in the long run
