Guild Wars 2

[Fluffy Frufflebottoms]

how am I wrong? they made a claim, it was false.... I'm not seeing where exactly I was wrong. and I believe I talked with mikey about the game before I purchased it... but the end result is you can't really know a game till you play it... I also am down 2 try any RPG.

Where did they make the claim that it was an MMORPG? The entire initial marketing campaign centered around the fact that the game wasn't a traditional MMORPG, so when you're suggesting that they marketed the game as an MMORPG, that's where you're wrong.

Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)?

Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences. Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, loot stealing, and standing in a queue in order to complete a quest.

Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. In Guild Wars much of the tedium of traveling through the world has been eliminated. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they have previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map.

Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world.

Players in Guild Wars can play with or against players from around the world in the global tournaments and arenas. And while players are initially placed in a region based on their selected language (so that there is a greater likelihood that others will be speaking their language) they can join up in the always-available International District to form parties and to play with anyone from anywhere in the world.

no I'm not cause when I went on their website 2 further check it out, they had an add up at the time talking about the game, and they were comparing it 2 an MMORPG with no monthly fee. last I checked, that's marketing.

also if you're going 2 further try and split hairs or some shit I honestly don't care.

they told me one thing, it was another...

Split hairs? You're making a claim that's outright wrong. Calling you out on it isn't splitting hairs for any measure of hair.

ummm they had an add up which said one thing.... the game turned out 2 be another and I say that from a long history of playing MMORPG's.

not sure what you aren't getting about this incredibly simple situation. I don't care what you read and where, I'm telling you what was posted up as info regarding the game directly on their website when I purchased it, and what they said was 1 of the reasons I purchased it. what they said elsewhere, or said later on I could careless as it's completely irrelevant 2 my situation
