I hope that it's good. Cause i can't afford WOW heh.

This game's focus is more on PvP and parties. Its solo element is pretty boring (Like playing Diablo 2 really as it IS solo). If that's not your fancy, the look elsewhere.

This is an important consideration because Guild Wars was designed as a competitive MMO. Don't misunderstand, there will be single player missions (although the final format isn't exactly something that's been nailed down) and more traditional settings of MMOs, but the focus is on accessibility and group combat.

To explain how this works, it's probably better to start with the construction of the game world. Guild Wars is broken up into three different types of areas. There are game zones, lookout zones, and city zones. The cities are actually where the massively multiplayer comes in. This is where all players will be able to see each other, trade, chat, and so on. There will be vendors, trainers, and more inside the cities as well.

Second are the lookout zones. These actually work as staging areas for games. They're designed so that players looking to take on a certain level or PvP game will be able to meet in the right spot. If there are players there, you already know they want to participate in the level. This should cut down on the time it takes to find a group interested in the same thing.

Finally there are the gameplay zones. There are three main types of gampeplay zones available. First are the solo zones where players will be able to take on the world by themselves in an instanced zone. These areas might be full of quests or have specific missions, but like I said before, these have not been finalized and things will definitely change on this front. Then there are two types of group activities. There are player vs. environment missions where groups can take on a specific challenge with multiple folks in an instanced level and then there are the PvP zones.

I don't quite get you, what's the solo thing about?

When you solo, its just you and the world... No other players. So, its pretty much lag free and the quests and monsters are updated regularly... But, like shumaky said, it isn't finalized yet.

Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world.

Finally, unlike existing MMOs, all characters in Guild Wars inhabit the same virtual world -- they are not divided onto different servers or shards -- so players can always team up with or compete against any other player in the world.

What playable races are there in Guild Wars?

In the first chapter you will be able to play characters from the human race. In subsequent chapters of Guild Wars, you may be able to play members of other races.

Will I be able to play Guild Wars on a dial-up modem?

Yes you will. We are well aware that many users do not have broadband access, and we want the largest possible number of gamers to be able to join our game without being held back by technical issues like their Internet connection. We have designed Guild Wars to function excellently on a dial-up connection and our testers confirm they have no problems with their connection, even testing from other continents. During our E3 for Everyone Demo Event, our World Preview Event, and our Beta Weekend Events, many thousands of players successfully played using a dial-up modem.
