What else has your friend talked you into; drugs? Sex?

You just need a good group to play with.

I guess you could wait for Dungeons & Dragons Online. I believe they've sent out some Alpha invites... So wait for them to go into Open Beta (That is, if they don't go into Closed Beta

)

Yeah was ??45 for the CE and ??5 next day delivery from a games website, maybe i should of gone with the normal version as the extras in the CE didnt live up to expectations (wows extras were awesome - the special in game pet was the best ever)

D&D looks good but only got closed beta in november so was wnating something a little closer to now,

Guild Wars IS good, although it's obviously nothing like WoW in how it deals with groups and the wilderness. Personally I love it that I can grab some friends and go play in the wilderness without having to deal with punks and griefers. What do you think it's lacking that you're looking for?

Mainly the general randomness that???s there when its an open world which everyone is playing in, its weird not being able to run past others who are also doing quests or hunting, there is going to be no open PvP which i love as nothings better then having a PK'er attack you while your hunting to have you kill the creep then turn round and kick there ass too. The interface isn't to my taste either as it wont let me move my own skills on the skills bar to best suit me (wtf's up with that?). I like there being a good community but all i can see with the limitations that are set in-game is that unless your in a town then you might as well be playing on your PS2 or X-Box - Sorry but Guild Wars has been a BIG let down to me and I wouldn???t recommend it to any of my friends on other mmorpg's. Oh and some advice to ArenaNet ??? leave the online games to the pros and go make some console games

Still, he's not you. You should check everything for yourself before being committed.

And from reviews after reviews none of them said this is a full MMORPG... they referred GW as CORPG.

Just turning into a pointless debate and whine thread like so many others in the past. Question answered, no need to ruin other threads because you aren't satisfied.

Closed.
