| Hmm... Guild Wars sounds interesting, but significantly different from WoW. I tended to solo a lot in WoW, but even though I was soloing it was fun to see people walk by, hear them in the chat, or fight side-by-side with them picking off a particular kind of mob. I don't know what it was about just being able to see other people that made it so entertaining, but it was.
It sounds like Guild Wars only has a small number of regions where you can see people but the "meat" of the game is just you and your party. If I were to solo through those it would probably end up being a very lonely experience.
About how long does it take to do an instance in Guild Wars? One of the reasons I didn't group often or do many instances in WoW was that I tended to play in short bursts. I didn't want to be stuck at the computer because I was in a group and it would be rude to leave in the middle.
