Is it worth the 50 bucks? Just my luck I had no DSL for the free pvp weekend that just happened so I couldn't try out the game. From I hear it is pretty fun, but the PVP is mindless deathmatch over and over. <i></i>

My opinion? No. YMMV.<

Game was full of asshats. First night it wasn't so bad, so I thought...hey this might be fun.<

Then it wasn't. <

Imagine the drecks of the bnet kiddies, then subtract 50, and that's the majority of the player base. <

If you do play, for the love of a 20 sided die and all that is holy, do not roll a female character in Guild Wars. You'll spend hours in the shower, but you'll never feel clean again.

Keep my head from exploding?... You can help!

I have a female character in guild wars. <

When they hit on you; "HAHA dude you are so gay!" and keep making fun of them if they start blustering. SO far that is the ONLY redeeming value of social interaction in Guild Wars.<

I played the game solo with bots for a couple weeks. It's fun, but it gets old fast.<

Seeing as it's free online play I consider it a valid expense, and I still, from time to time, log back on and play with some old friends who bought it until I can convince them to buy a real MMO. <i></i>
