MMORPG?
As soon as you enter this world you are blown away by the sheer size and scope of it. Very nice graphics and easy controls make it a simple matter to move through the crowds of other players and reach the main game area.
You can easily spend your first few days of play out here, killing monsters, picking up loot, or just wandering around exploring this vast, far-eastern style world, with it's very own cultures, history and story. Also, this part is all yours, no-one else can enter unless invited, so kill stealing, overcrowding and annoying tagalongs are a thing of the past.
The storyline is also excellent, the in-built history and back-stories really pull you into this game. The main questline is fairly long, and will drag you through a series of varied environments, including bustling cities, vast forests and crumbling ruins.
The game is online, but can be comfortably played through almost totally alone, although a party of players is often necessary on the harder missions.
The actual PvP is also brilliant, you have the option to build a character purely for PvP, which will have more skills and abilities available. The PvP kept me gripped for months, and you really do rely on your party to get you through – if you die and the team lose, you feel bad, and if your team pulls through victorious, it's great – and the overall online is very good.
So, if you are new to online gaming and want to learn the basics, why not try Guild Wars – if you don't like the PvP side of things, there's still a huge game to explore, just not as fun.
