Description
Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the tedium of those games. You can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a quest you have unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around you: your magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and tear the ground asunder
Hardware Requirements
Windows 98/ME/2000 XP/ 800 MHz Pentium 3 or equivalent/ 256 MB RAM/ GeForce 2 class video card with 32MB RAM/ 250 MB hard drive space/ Internet connection

Guild Wars offers fast-paced graphically spectacular gaming in a PvP-centric arena, but that’s not all it offers

Guild Wars will shake the MMORPG genre until all the experience points fall out… its unique combat and skill system is great for anyone who is frustrated with the same tired MMOs.
