    Default Guild Wars

    So is anyone playing this game? I am, and I'd go as far to say that this is the best MMORPG made to date.

    Yeah it's pretty good. I prefer the pvp over the pve though. The pve is pretty standard. Good Pvp is what sets guild wars apart.

    For the last time, it's not an MMORPG.

    True, True. It's got more akin to Diablo 2, except with MMO like controls and presentation.

    Nope, the class listing is:
    Warrior
    Monk
    Necromancer
    Mesmer
    Ranger
    Elementalist

    ...and then you can choose one of those as a subclass. I think the closest thing to a thief might be a ranger, but they suck.

    That would be my one complaint with the class roster. No Rouge/thief/Ninja. The warrior is the only close range physical damage dealer, and his role in a party is more tanking then damage dealing. A light damage dealer who relys on dexterity would be good to bridge the gap. Currently the Ranger is the closest thing to a rouge, and he is a long range "puller" type.

    Well it is a relatively new game, so my best bet is they will add in new classes in later expansions.

    I play it all the time. I really like how it actually has a story that you play through, as opposed to other games that are more just leveling up with some vague story in the background. It's not pure MMORPG, but it's very cool nonetheless. And you can't beat the no monthly fee!

    Yeah, I like being able to just hop into a group and do a mission then put it down for the night knowing I got somewhere, rather than like other MMOs where you're just running around questing and not really acheiving anything.
