Lineage i think is a lot more fufilling, even though i didn't even really figure out Guild Wars yet heh.

guild wars is ok for, lol but its great when you remember its free lmao.  Does guild wars remind anyone else of the console game "Gauntlet Legends"?

I don't know, it's not so bad.  I've been able to dedicate a little more than a little time (theoretical lvl 28) and I've enjoyed myself.  Would I be able to slave away at it for months at a time, constantly stressing myself out over being the best of the best?  Probably not.  But since the game is free, it would be a good fallback when you're frustrated at larger projects like MxO.  This game is really modular like NWN.

The cooperative missions are a blast, and the higher you get the more interesting they become.  PvP is a ton of fun as well, very fast-paced, very strategic.  You can literally spend hours playing and matches begin and end as quickly as they do in Counterstrike.

Now for the amazing part:  I play it on my laptop, which only has a 32MB video card.  The game still looks great, including the wayer and the lighting effects.  I'm mind-boggled as to how a company has created a deployable piece of software that's literally smaller than a single MP3 file.  That alone is an amazing accomplishment in terms of where online gaming can go in the next few years.  Imagine in-demand content based on a user's preferences.

Tips:

.:You cannot redistribute those attribute points that you refunded, so just don't do it in the first place.

.:You don't get anymore attribute points, so enjoy the ones you have.

.:Every level, you get a skill point.  By finding (by way of drops ingame or purchasing through another PC) skill gems, you can learn a new skill permanently at your trainer.

.:If you're not sure if you really want that skill, then double click on a charged gem, you'll get to try that skill out for a couple of hours to see if you like it.

.:Salvagable drops, keep them and turn them over to the crafter in the west corner of town.  He'll give you raw materials that you can use to create more armor for yourself.

.:Quests are easy exp

.:You can instantly travel anywhere using the map, developed for the player with even the shortest of attention spans

.:You can only memorize 8 skills at once, you'll want to change them out depending on what mission you're doing

.:You can heal the NPCs you're escorting

.:Hit me up ingame if you have more questions, but use the message system since /whispers only work when they feel like it.

Overall, it has some slight bugs, but nothing game-crashing or anything that monkey wrenches the entire effort.  It's quick, it's fun, and it's as long as you like.  I played for 40 minutes at lunch, and about four hours tonight.

See those of you inside, and follow the thread in off-topic to find other FA members already ingame.

That's amazing, level 54 inside of 24 hours, and with school no doubt!  You must have literally played for that 24 hours solid, even during class.  As for the rest of the statement, you're going to play it but you're not going to buy it?  Good luck with that one.
