Guild Wars is one of those games that has really gotten so much better with time -- and it even still LOOKS gorgeous, while running on crap machines. In the early days of just Prophecies, it was pretty awful, I'm the first to admit. I didn't get re-addicted until late in Factions, and now I still play off and on, in spite of a dozen decked out toons -- there's always something to do, even IF you don't raid or PvP. The fact that my characters sit there waiting for me anytime I want with no monthly fee is a bonus that shouldn't be underestimated. And I'll always be a fan of the low level cap and the easy item/armor caps -- the newbie isn't penalized as in most other games.

Thanks for covering GW still Massively. It really is a huge bargain for the newcomer, especially when you can sometimes snag the first three games for $10 and GWEN for a little more. Far more content than a single-player RPG
