I’m definitely more of a Mr. T than a William Shatner – that’s for sure.

To clarify a few things about Guild Wars:

The endgame party cap is 8, rather than 6. Also, any character can be used in PvP, even ones made in the campaigns (they just need to get to a certain point to travel there).

There’s also a couple more things that distinguish it from the rest. One being that GW does not have a persistent world. Players congregate in towns, but once a party leaves a town, it has its own instance of the area they’re in.

Another difference is the way skills are handled. There are a TON of different skills that players can acquire, but they can only equip 8 at a time. This forces players to this strategically about what abilities they want to have available to them at the time.

While I think that WoW, EQ and the rest take a certain level of commitment, I would recommend GW to “casual gamers”, as well as those looking for a strategic challenge.
