[QUOTE="mps42, post: 2725337, member: 9571"] Okay, GuildWars is and is not a true mmorpg dependeing on how you play it. You can play as a singleplayer through the campaign and not worry about others (a nice option that I wish more mmorpgs would offer), you can join a Guild (hence the Guild part...) and play with up to (i believe) 50 other players on the same "team" through the campaign, you can play in a single player online Plaver Vs. Player area where you start at level 20 and design your skills and power the way you want and then battle other single players in an arena-type setting, OR you can play online in the PVP setting with Guilds (hence the Guild *WARS*). It has a fairly decent plot (at least what I saw in the Beta was decent) for the campaign. There was a decent mix of "go and kill 10 of these" and "go to this place and find this and bring it back". The graphics are very nice, especially for a MMORPG which are usually graphics-sparce due to the online part. Sound is nice and atmospheric (sp?) with good indicators for happy and creepy. All-in-all, I liked the beta and would pry by the game if I had $50 to throw at it. Hope that helps, Game on! [/QUOTE]
