I have some questions about this game.

1) There are 5 classes I think, are there many spells per each class.

2) Can any1 give me a better summary of the classes then the website?

3) Are you beta players enjoying the game?

4) How are the graphics and gameplay?

5) What are some cool features of this game?

6) What classes do you recommend?

7) I currently come from World of Warcraft, can anyone compare GW to WoW?

8) Is the beta only every weekend? Or if you preorder the game you get beta until release?

Thanks, Looking forward to GW.

Another thing.

9) Can you have mulitple classes at once, like FFXI? If so how many?

10) Is there an auction house like other games?

11) Are there NPC factions? (ie in WoW horde/alliance)

12) Does it cost money to start a guild, can you build guild halls, player cities, our player housing.

13) Is the world of GW large?

14) Can you ride on a boat, or fly via some animal?

I know this is a lot to ask, but I am very intersted in this game. And if this appeals to me, I am going to tell many of my friends at school about this game =)

1) I think there are ~75 skills per class, and you get to choose a primary and secondary class giving you ~150 skills.

2) Don't feel like it summarizing

3) lovin' it.

4) awesome graphics

5) very little grinding, game isn't broken into different servers. There are districts, but it only takes ~2 seconds to change district.

6) Whatever fits your playing style. The game is so well balanced that there are no cookie-cutters.

7) I'll let someone else compare them

8) The Beta Weekend Events are one weekend once a month. There are two left. The March beta which starts tomorrow, and then an April Beta which starts April 15th...I think.

9) You can chose a primary and secondary class. So 2 classes.

10) From what I've seen there isn't an auction house yet. But the developers are working on the trade system I believe.

11) Not sure what you mean.

12) As of the beta, it costs gold to start one and even more gold to create a cape. When the guild is created, you are automatically given a Guild Hall which appears on your map in which you can teleport to.

13) Seems large to me

14) The mode of transportation is Insta-Travel. You click on a town that you have visited and you will teleport there. You don't have to sit around for a couple minutes watching your self run or sit on an animal's back.

11)yes, their are warring NPC fractions in Guild Wars the undead will fight the non-undead and ignore you sometimes. Also through the course of missions you will meet various warring fractions that are involved with the story line. Is that what you were asking?

13)I would like to stress large here, its simple huge and only getting bigger.

Their is an effort underway to build an in-depth set of answers in the FAQ/Q&A which is http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=794
