Guild Wars

[Fadook]

I should also say that GW is a very different game from WoW. It's not really an MMORPG at all, even its designers admit that. It's absolutely not about grinding; the level cap is 20 and you'll get there relatively quickly, and many would say that the game only really starts once you're at 20.

GW is almost entirely about combat, both PvE and PvP, though they are practically separate worlds. There isn't the same sense of community as in WoW, in fact, most of the time you won't even see other human players outside of towns unless you choose to group with them. It's seriously fun, tactical combat though, and tougher quests and missions will require solid strategy. So while quests do basically boil down to going somewhere and killing everything, it's pretty enjoyable. Missions often pose more complex challenges, and are much shorter than a WoW dungeon.

GW's also a lot more story focused than WoW; there are primary quests that advance the plot, and each mission is plot central. There's absolutely loads to do outside of the story related quests though, so don't worry about linearity.
