    Guild Wars 1 Is an old school fantasy MMORPG that initially released in 2005, This game features a tab targeting combat system, story driven questing, an instanced world, Dungeons, Raids and PVP, As I've been going back and covering a few old school MMOs such as Everquest 2 and Runes Of Magic recently I thought it'd be a nice nostalgia trip for some of you if I jump into Guild Wars 1 and see if it's still alive.
    What do you think about Guild Wars 1? Did you prefer GW1 over GW2 and if so why? let me know in the comments below!

    Honestly I think you barely scratched the surface with this one ...

    I swear gw1 is still something i miss. Heck if they re-made gw1 with a new engine and upgraded visuals i’d be all over it. The skill bar and build building with the insane amount of skill customization was godly.

    Oh man... if you give this one some more time you’ll realize just how special it is. You’re missing out on so much. It blows GW2 away.

    The reason you see so many players in the opening area is because you get a really big achievement for reaching level 20 in the starting zone. Since when you leave the area you can't go back, they just log into socialize with others that have done the same. Guild Wars 1 had a lot of these little cool things that bred communities. Another special one was the Survivor title, which meant not dying at all before reaching level 20. Which is surprisingly hard.

    i played this game for 6000 hours. got obsidian armor on two characters; chaos gloves on three. by the time i was 12, i was an officer in a big PvE guild. i felt as happy achieving that as i did graduating college. seriously. this was the mmo i sunk the majority of my teenage years in and it was so damn good. i will never forget the amazing gameplay and the friendships i made. i’ve played every big mmo that’s come out since then including ff14 and all it’s expansions, as well as all of WoWs expansions, and still this game is the most special to me. it was so disappointing reaching max level in gw2 and feeling nothing. it just wasn’t the same

    Best game ever. This game was pretty much my entire childhood.

    I came late to GW, and played through the three worlds, then waited until Eye Of The North came out. After losing Gwen, the little girl who followed you about in the tutorial pre searing Ascalon, and assuming she had not survived, when I reached the Eye and the young female troop leader questioned me on the steps, then said "I too am from Ascalon... My name is Gwen..." I literally cried like a baby, at 50 years of age. Greatest mmo of all time for me...

    This game was amazing and it's sad that GW2 wasn't even remotely similar to this masterpiece

    Guildwars 1 is actually one of the few mmo's where the early experience and the endgame experience feels like completely different games. 90% of the game is played in 8 man parties even when just questing. The solo experience you get in pre-searing ascalon (the tutorial zone) is very different to the rest of the game.

    One of the most beautiful soundtracks of any MMO ever made

    Guild Wars 1 was the time of my life.

    That brings back memories. My main was Elementalist for PvE, spending ages capturing Elite skills for specific builds lol. 55HP Monk and Assassin from the expansion in PvP was a lot of fun too. In regards to the loading screens, if I remember correctly, it dynamically loads the maps in when you enter a new area the first time so you can start playing the game right away. It wouldn't load it a second time then.

    The game that started it all for me. Great memories

    GW1 is one of my all time favorite games. Every single mission feels like an adventure, no other mmo immerses you and is able to create an atmosphere like gw1. Especially GW1: Factions does that extremely well with areas like echovald forest or jade sea.

    You barely barely! scratched the surface on this amazing game.... This game was my addiction in my early years.. the soundtrack of pre-searing omg.. this hits me like a truck.

    Can we just highlight how amazing your editor is. The fact he takes the piss out of you is so wholesome.

    The download is a bit weird in the beginning yes, but at the time it was quite a nice feature. Internet speeds were not that great, and their download system worked in a way that it would download zones you would most probably move to next, to avoid having to download everything at once.

    Farming minotaurs in the snow with a fire elementalist. This was the game that made me a gamer :')
