It still looks pretty good, GW.

Guild Wars always did have the edge on graphics

And I've played the gambit of them. WOW was fun, off and on. DAOC was alright. WAR was a mess. AOC got better after all the subscribers left :) Aion... Let us never speak that name again lest we summon a wrathful army of bots and gold-sellers.

But GW always delivered for me. And the "free" once you've bought it aspect was brilliant. Very excited for GW 2.

And yeah, for a 5 year old game, the visuals have held up remarkably. Don't forget the performance, either (which is helped by most of the game being instanced, I realize, but also by some great coding). This game runs on some pretty old rigs and still looks gorgeous.

...And just couldn't get into it. Something about all the people looking like porn stars just turned me off. I mean it's ok to have hot chicks in a RPG, in my opinion, but the guys reminded me of He-Man or something and the whole homo-erotic vibe just sort of made me take the game less than seriously. Eh, I'm more of a D&D sort of guy anyway. Just my .02

I only ever bought GW: Factions, but I played the hell out of it (Luxons FTW!!!).

I'm greatly anticipating Guild Wars 2. Just think of what they'll do with it...

The Shining Blades outfit is sexy. The White Mantle reminds me of the Children of the Light.

I presume this is something building towards Guild Wars 2?

Guild Wars - where bots and players coexist in harmony

Guild Wars is an MMORPG that has been in maintenance mode with no official support for years, but the game's economy is fairly stable, most PvP activities are still accessible and even Auction House-like services exist - thanks to bots.
