I could careless what terms were coined lol... they talked the talk and did not walk the walk.

they also made claims that it would be like a MMORPG that has no monthly fee, and it wasn't anything like a MMORPG... when you leave town, no ones there unless they are in your party... there's nothing MMORPG about that... I could name many more reasons... but see no point.

if you like the game, good for you. just stated why I don't.

Did you ignore the part where I told you that they specifically said that their game was not an MMORPG, and that they highlighted the fact at every turn?

So you buy products solely based on singular advertisements, and make no effort to understand what it is that you're purchasing? Suggesting that you'll like product X if you enjoy genre Y does not mean that product X belongs to genre Y.

It's okay to be wrong. You don't have to be defensive.

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.

and the only person wrong is you, as they strait up did compare it 2 a mmorpg

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...
