Guild Wars GOTY - What do you guys think of it?

its a really nice alternative for WOW played some a while back like 4-5 yeras ago, if you enjoy it you can buy guild wars 2 whick is awesome and best part you dont need to pay monthly substription

I've played it for about 2,500 hours. It was amazing for its time, but it's really dated. I cannot recommend it to new players unfortunately. It's pretty much dead too, making harder areas near impossible to beat I believe, NPC support or not.

I'm in the same boat. Am interested, and this is the first time I've seen it on sale. Still a bit pricey though. It looks like Eye of the North is highly recommended along with the trilogy since it offers game play improvements and also lets you collect things that carry over into GW2.

It's one of my favourite games. Some of the hard mode missions may be a bit difficult to complete without other players - especially if you're aiming for the bonus - but they aren't impossible, as long as you know what you're doing with your heroes. I'd recommend starting in Nightfall, since that's going to make things much easier for you to manage. ^_^

I'd buy it, if I had a chance.

Well GW-GOTY contains only the base game without any of the expansions and its pretty much doable solo though it matters what class you gonna pick(personally I would go for range class).

I was thinking about buying it but then I went and read on few forums that game is pretty much dead that everyone went to GW2. So yeah if you are buying it keep that in mind guys.

I want to get it...I'm just worried that if there's virtually no one online that I'll get stuck at some point and be unable to finish the main story stuff.

It was really a great game, but it's pretty much dead now as it's already been said, and even with your heroes some things will be impossible (both Underworlds, elite zones like the Deep and Urgoz if you're planning to play Factions or Mallyx for Nightfall, dungeons like Duncan for Eye of the North...), not to mention the PvP which may not be as full as it was (didn't try since a long time)

This being said, if you have like 2 or 3 friends to play with, it's still very enjoyable even with the outdated graphics. The lore is awesome, and well, after like 8k hours on the game, I won't tell you it's a bad one xD

I played a ton of this a few years back. Basically a solo mmorpg. I loved it.

I have a bit more than 300 hrs of it on Steam, got it 2 years ago by trading for Dota 2 invite lol.
I think i did 2 campaigns with a friend but soloed the rest, i still haven't finished Nightfall though

Also, shameless self promotion

I bought a retail copy of this for 5€ some years ago and it was the best 5€ ever spent! i really love'd the game so i bought nightfall too, and the best part is that you don't need to pay monthly :D

Guild Wars was my first MMO and it was fantastic back then!
If you can't find other players you may set up a party of NPCs: basically you can solo the game in normal mode. No monthly subscription required.
Highly recommended!

Is it on steam now?

It's a very nice game, but it's basically an online single-player affair now.

I have played the hell out of it many years ago, and I still reccomend it. I think it's a good game worth mainly if you are going to play it with friends, as it's not a proper MMORPG, it fits better as a Co-op game. You can play it solo too but with at least a friend it should be less boring. The game feels dated from graphics but the gameplay and general design outmatches many recent games, imho.

It's a really great game. :D

Had this gem back in the day. We moved and for some reason I lost all my log in credentials (my fault not theirs) Saw this on sale yesterday and picked a copy up for me and picked one up for my son. Loved the game back in the day started from scratch last night and it still is as fun as I remember
