Are you searching for an intense mmorpg? This may be the one for you.
This is Guild Wars. You can purchase it from various retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, etc. Or you may download the client on http://www.guildwars.com/ . After downloading, you can purchase the game (any of the campaigns) from the same site. It is second in line on the top10 most played mmorpgs only to be preceded by World of Warcraft. This game is very addicting, in depth, and has intense graphics. I would recommend it to anyone looking to have hours and hours of daily entertainment. All ages of people play this game mostly 18+ from my personal experience. I’ve even encountered people aged 60-70 which is surprising. This shows it can hook even older people who are not even part of the gaming generation. (1980’s +).
This game does not require hours upon hours of “grinding” in order to get to the max level or even have the max armor in the game. A player can get to the max level (Level 20) in a few hours of playing time. However, once you achieve this goal, this is when the game begins. Quests, Missions, special armors, weapons, Player Vs. Player, Dungeons, and Farming is basically what the game is composed of.
The Player versus Player aspect of the game is very fun and immersing. A player starts at level 20 and max gear. Upon creation of your “pvp character”, a player may now create a unique skill bar composed of 8 skills. This requires strategic thinking. For example, a monk (healer) raises the Health Bars of players in the midst of combat. In order to counter melee players on the opposing team from pounding on them, it is common for a monk to bring warrior stances which enable the monk to block attacks for a specific period of time. This is possible because upon creation of the character, one is now able to choose a secondary profession. In other words, you create a monk, and then choose warrior for your secondary profession. To others, you now show up as Mo/W (Monk/Warrior). Mo = primary profession. W= Secondary Profession. This enables the monk to use skills that a warrior uses also, which gives the healer defense capabilities. In result, a vast variety of unique builds have been created by players on http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page .
