(I know there's other threads on this, I'm just too lazy to look them up)

Yep. I'm looking into this game, because FFXI has almost entirely lost it's appeal.

What I would like to know:

Different Races; Which Races are most suited to which jobs.
alliance
night elf
human
dwarf
gnome

horde
troll
orc
undead
tauren
really most races can do all classes well

Different Jobs; Which jobs do what.
did you mean professions or classes?
rogues: melee dps
warrior: tank
paladin: healing 2nd (or 3rd) tank
priest: heal
mage: ranged dps
hunter: not really that useful in instances....can pull aggro off casters with pet so tanks can stay on their job
druid: healer and can do everythign else in other forms
shaman: does everything
warlock: debuff and DoT


Mounts; I know what they are, I'd just like to know which one goes with which race, and possibly see a picture of them it there's a website that has them.
you get them at level 40 and they make you run faster.  the ones at level 60 make you go even faster.

Monthly Charge; How much is it?
15/month or 14ish if you sign up for six months
THINK OF THE SAVINGS
Servers; What server are you guys on, and would you mind giving me a few in-game lessons if I jump in?
im on firetree, and am only a 43 warrior and 16 mage, but ive got gold to spare, a guild, and patience :)

Something Witty:

--- Quote from: James ---Listen, WoW is great. I love Blizzard, I love the Warcraft universe, yadda yadda YADDA.

The problem is that Guild Wars is a thing of unfathomable beauty, and there are no subscription fees. There's really no choice to make here.
--- End quote ---
That's right. No choice at all. Because from what I can gather, guild Wars takes about twice the RAM that WoW does. My computer is old, and does not have uber ram. Not does it have an uber processor. It is an old computer that was bought specifically for me to use at college, and the specs of WoW seem to me much more POS friendly.



[edit] Will: What race are you? I'm looking pretty heavy at Undead, because I heart zombies. Also, who could resist riding a zombie horse?[/edit]

will: wanton sex god:
My warriors a tauren

i think its harder to resist riding a kodo around :)

my mage is a troll :)

Sideways:
I've played both.

WoW will give you a more typical MMO experience, and will allow you to play around with races/jobs with more depth.

Guild Wars will give you a much less typical MMO experience (think Diablo 2 meets WoW), and will allow you to have a more 'fast-&-fun' experience.

Guild Wars will stop you at lvl 20... it's the highest level you can (currently achieve) but... as odd as this may sound... lvl 20 is actually where the game REALLY begins.

WoW is a race for the highest level, & best gear.  Guild Wars is all about the skills you use, how you use them, and teamwork.  Sure, there are weapons that are better than others, but there is no single 'uber' item in the game.  Everyone is on a relatively even playing-field, from lvl 1 all the way to lvl 20.  What changes, from group to group, is how good a player you are, and how good your allies are.

I have been in teams where the lvl 7 Monk/Mesmer is a MUCH better ally than the lvl 15 Warrior/Ranger... because the lvl 7 is using skills that compliment themselves better, that aid the team more, and is employing good strategies/tactics in each battle... while the lvl 15 Warrior/Ranger is using crap skills, and running into each battle blindly... often resulting in them requiring a ressurect from the lvl 7!  :)

And that's the other beauty part of Guild Wars; as a lvl 10, it's not uncommon to be in a group full of level 20s... and still be very useful.  The levels don't matter too much in this game.

Even though WoW will run better on most computers, I still stand by Guild Wars as being the game to play.  Zero monthly cost, while still having the MMO experience... plenty of crafting/customization options... and one of the best stories ever in an MMO.

You really become invested in the characters around you, and in the story... you actually start to give a shit about what happens to these NPCs... and you find yourself enjoying helping all these people in side-quests.

With WoW, I found I would enjoy myself for about 5 minutes until some random player ran by me yelling "OMGWTF!!! I AM T3H UB4R!!!!!11one! LOLZ!!!"

Guild wars retains a constant and surreal sense of beauty, and environment.

WoW suffers the fate of all Blizzard online games; a community predominately populated by asshats.

Something Witty:
Every online game will have it's share of asses and bastards. FFXI certainly has more than it's share in some areas.

The biggest thing, like I said, is that my PC simply will not run Guild Wars. Also, the idea of being a human doesn't really appeal to me in a game. I can be human all by myself.

Also, I have a bit fo an affinity for the undead in the Warcraft universe, ad when playing with the undead in WCIII, I have never lost a single game. Granted, I haven't played many, because I am not a RTS type person, but the ones I played were against people who play nothing but RTS and FPS games, so I think that's a bit of a statement.
