1. Ok how exactly do you attack mobs/players? is it like diablo2 where you click for every swing? or it like you target auto-swing and just use abiltes and spells?

2. How long does it take to reach lvl 20? Also to have a fair chance in pvp do you need to spend countless hours to find that one perfect weapon(hard to andser with a weekend beta)

3. Do you have freedom to PK anyone any where?

4. How movement? is it Click to run, Or the classic W A S D?

5. Are there any player made videos of GuildWars gameplay?

TY, I may edit if I think of any other questions

No actually you click on enemy and it will autoattack, if you click multiple times it will pop up with a dialog "You are clicking many times when you don't have to..."

Don't know for sure, I spent roughly 24 hours to get to level 12, half of this was going very quickly. Initially I seemed to level up quickly, say 1 per hour, but later levels would required 2-3 hours to level up. I'd expect it to increase and at the pace I was going it would take me around 40-60 hours. It all depends on whether you have good groups to quest with, whether you rush or prefer to do quests that will result in lots of time spent v little xp. I'd say 20 hours mimimum, and 100+ for those who take it slow. It's really up to you.

You don't need to spend countless hours finding special weapons because the game requires skills, mainly using and picking good spells, in team pvp you need to work together. While there are many advantages to finding good items you don't really need them to win.

No. You can't fight in towns, and all the quests and missions create a special instance for your group so nobody can barge through.

Both, you can use fps style controls, or click onto the ground to move, and use the mouse to change camera etc.It's very good this way. I'd generally use the mouse to control movement and use my other hand for spells and weapons, but it's up to you.

I'm sure there are heaps around, or you could check out the vids on IGN.

I think Kiwi compiled an archive of videos aroud here somewhere, just look for it in the thread search.

I do have one, and it's the largest one in the world. (Unless some secret evil madman has a collection of 200 videos and plans to release it soon just to make me PO'ed.)

My signature has the link.

Not very long, during course of two weekends I managed level 10 twice.

That was with tons of time spent wandering around observing idiosyncratic of game play and not leveling.

No super weapons.. just super knowledge. The more you understand and strategicly minded you get, the better you will do.
