Places in WoW have alot more flat land, so it kinda evens out when it comes to which game has a bigger play area.

Its clear that the developers of Guild Wars spend more time making their areas than WoW do. WoW may have 2-3 times more area than GW, but GW is a hell of a lot more pretty.

WoW's geography annoys me. Why is there a huge tree up north and an iceland way down south?

GW != WoW

My 2 cents.

Sadly, it is true. WoW was just boring after a while, level grind so I can level grind to level grind some more. Mhe, some people thing, but not mine.

Whereas I couldn't be bothered to finish my 10 day trial of WoW, but am coming up to my 2nd year of regular GWing.

Why can't you people have a nice discussion without turning it into another WOW vs. GW discussion where I must step in and join the flame wars?

Personal Opinion...

I myself find it retarded we have Map Travel...HOW do you explain it Lore-Wise? On top of that, it's just plain retarded...

This is hardly a downside

World of Warcraft? Never heard of that blizzard game that was created before GuildWars was released... Not at all.

Having played both, I'd have to easily say Guild Wars. I've always found WoW to be tiny, but Guild Wars, even for each chapter, is massive.

You started the flame war. So get out while you're ahead.

On topic: Tyria's pretty big. If we could explore all of Tyria, and all of Cantha, I'd say they'd be about equal.

I constantly try and try to play WoW and try to get into it because my friends all play it, but I always find myself just wasting my 15 bucks to renew my subscription cause I always end up closing that boring game and opening up Guild Wars again. I'll always prefer Guild Wars over WoW. I don't know if its that I really don't like the cartoon like designs or I just don't like the game play, but I always find myself opening up Guild Wars time and time again.

And for size, take a look at the map on wiki. To me, its pretty damn big.

Shame to see this get so heated, especially in a manner like this.

In all sincerity, how does Guild Wars seem "bigger?"

What i remember from WoW trials, areas are physically much bigger, but seriously lacking in details.

When you go out of town, you see whole lot of ... nothing. You see area worth of one GW explorable and all there is is dozen of trees (each looking exactly same) and couple of critters.

In GW it that area would contain about hundred of monsters and so many details that you start thinking that level designers are no-life workaholics.
