I like Guild Wars

I've been playing Guild Wars now for quite a long time. I never thought I would get into paying MMO's because I always viewed them as a major time-suck and to be honest I really don't have tons of time to play games. I was in the mood for a new fantasy RPG one day after playing nothing but first person shooters for awhile so I decided to give it a try. I was always kind of intrigued by the screenshots and I really liked the fact that there is no monthly fee so I went to the local Fred Meyer and picked it up.

So now, after over 100 hours put into it I'm close to finishing my second (technically the third) campaign "Nightfall". I have to say that I've had tons of fun playing this game it's probably the best value for money that I've ever had from a computer game. I go through periods where I don't play that much but I always seem to go back when I have a minute and get sucked back into the world. I've found a really cool guild but I mostly just solo which is also a lot of fun. It is a really nice change of pace from playing shooters all the time. I was really tired of the time wasted trying to get those to run on my computer. There is always a new shooter coming out that has the latest and greatest graphics but it's getting to the point where I can barely run them on my rig. I liked Guild Wars because I can run it smoothly, it looks great, and it's stable for the most part. I don't have to mess around with my computer setting every time I want to play.

Anyhow, if you have any kind of curiosity about this genre of game I suggest you try Guild Wars out. It is however my first MMO and I have plans to try out the uber-popular World of Warcraft in the next week or so. I'll be back with my impressions of that game but it's going to take a lot to pull me away from the GW universe.
