1) Apart from being a MMORPG no. Guild Wars is more like a single player RPG that you can play with other people. It is heavily instanced and the explorable areas you enter only with your party. Also the skill system is like a trading card game. You have to check it out to understand. Another thing to keep in mind that you get max armor and weapons very early. The prestige part of the game are the rare skinned weapons and hard to get armors and titles. You can check the Guild Wars wiki for everything you need to know.

2)There is no grinding in Guild Wars. You progress through the storyline. You will do grinding only if you want to get a title or something rare.

3)That depends on your playstyle. Check Guild Wars wiki for more info on each class.

4)Each expansion is a stand alone game and represents a continent on the planet of Tyria, exept from Eye of The North. I would suggest getting Nightfall first.

5)It helps a bit but with a little guide reading you can solo the normal mode of the game easily so it is not necessary.

6) Yup

and after a point in the story you will be able to change it anytime you want.

7) Its a realy fun online RPG with no sub that entertained millions of people for 5years so yeah.

8) Both. There are many rude,whiners and negative nancys around but you will also find many players that love the game, are glad to help you out and organize some of the most fun and rewarding events that can be compared to the official ones.

Edit: Get your time to learn the game before you try PvP. After you finish a campaign read some guides at PvXwiki and try Random Arena. People might be harsh with you for not knowing how to play at first so just ignore them.

Hope i helped a bit and welcome to Guild Wars

A guild is a good way to get your feet wet in guild wars. Most players I know, including myself, started in a "noob" guild, which is devoted to helping new players.

If you get the game and have any questions, or even feel like being in a guild for a little while, just shoot me a whisper in game. My in game name is Uriel Wolfblood.

I'd be glad to help you with anything you need. My time frame is a bit off though, so that may be a problem lol. I'm usualy on between 9am and 3pm Central U.S. time, or late at night (midnight or later) Central U.S. Time. I work nights you see, lol.
