Yea I would say they have their similarities, there are 3 different lands and a 4th coming out in Aug till GW2 comes out and from what Ive read its gonna be huge and awesome along with keeping the same business model of no subscription fee. They both have their strengths and weaknesses you either like em or you don't. Ill prob get flamed for this but I went for GW because the characters were less cartoon like and felt like a more mature game to me. I'm in no way bashing WoW as I admit not having the time to try it as I have been glued to GW since its first release managing 14 characters and 2 accounts :P
They are both the type of game you have to try your self to see if you like them or not, I think I still have a 14day trial serial number that has never been used. Im not sure where I have it at home but if you want to give GW a shot PM me and Ill try to dig it up for you...

I have no idea what that is. Now if you were talking Guildwars that would be a completely different story :)
I know, I know it's WoW's nemesis but call me old fashion but I don't like playing a game where there is a monthly fee attached

Oh ya! well you didn't spend 2 days wandering around trying to figure out why a mage can't wear leather... |
Most MMORPG's are basically the same. Casting classes never get to wear anything but cloth, because they're usually the big damage dealers. To balance their damage they get weak armor. |

I became hooked just before Christmas, and this is shocking as ive never played any kind of computer game before, i only tried it out to keep the b/f happy!
Im currently a level 65 Shaman and 33 Druid and really enjoy it, even though im not a hardcore gamer im just plodding my way along enjoying the variety of new places i seem to find everyday!
It is a fantastic game and i do recommend it to anyone, but beware it does get rather addictive! |

| The game gets really exciting in the 35+ range, and also as soon as you start playing battle grounds (as early as level 11 i believe) The battle grounds pit horde v alliance in a game of capture the flag or defend the flag type scenarios. Tons of strategy neccessary in these. |

Its ok to disagree AJ. But here is why the game is not my type.
Im only a level 25, but I know enough so far to see no strategic level design in this game. It is a game that relies on teamwork which is cool, and you have to decide which spells to use in succession to defeat an enemy. Which spell to implement at certain times, but I never feel rewarded when finishing quests, it's tedious and I only play to see its rich enviornments or chat with some friends on there, but thats mainly it. |

I can only shoot fire and some ice. I don't understand "Snare, root, kite..." |
I don't know what level mages get stuff, but you'll get spells that "slow" targets and others that "root" targets... and then you run! Kite = run around without actually running away. For instance.. if you have a DoT (Damage over time) spell, you can cast it on the enemy and run around while the spell does damage. You just don't run so far out of range that the enemy stops chasing you. Run in circles while your enemy is snared with a DoT.. it dies.. you don't get hit. |

isnt DPC here an MMORPG game? omg... i got misled by the advertisement! :p |
OMG This is too funny. |
well like any conventional MMORPG, DPC allows you to sign up an account, login and interact with other "players", level up in challenges (battles?), get rewarded with items (ribbons), and of course, what MMORPG would be complete without equipment upgrades? hehe |

| It's not a gamer's game at all. It is without the puzzles, and level design. It is short on strategy too, except deciding which spell to use. If you like interactive fairy tales and a holodeck experience, then it's worth downloading. |

The short guys are hard to target in PvP. Granted people know that short people are squishy... Play a short tank.. it confuses the hell out of people. I guess the same could be said about elf tanks. I've always played short characters, mainly because of the targeting advantage. Squirmy little buggers... |

| Ha, Im a nightelf warrior, so the tallest and most buffest in the alliance, and I still didnt fight mobs. The best way to fight is to find monsters "on the edge" of crowds, and "pull" them with a ranged attack so they come after you, but the rest of the mob stays put. Fight em one at a time. |
