What is the best MMORPG?

I know only spam is supposed to be posted here, but what is the best or your favorite? maybe best free ones.

Best Pay ones:
Guild Wars (no monthly though) - My all time favourite MMORPG I play it all the time and have every campaign and addon, and it's still fun to play.
Not played any other pay ones except WoW, which I hate.

Best Free ones:
I played a hell of a lot of free ones back in the day before Guild Wars. Best quality I've seen is Silkroad Online, I can't remember a lot of them to be honest, as silkroad was the last I played before GW. Just to note: Runescape sucks!

yeah lol Runescape does suck 

yeah my cousin was telling me about guild wars, i was thinking about getting it. thanks for info.

Yup guild wars is super awesome. With 10 professions, and everyone gets a secondary profession which is interchangeable later on. I never run out of ideas to expiriment

At the moment I'm using my main character (dervish - which is a scythe weilding hooded guy who can cast self enchantments) and giving him a secondary profession of Ranger (archer can use traps and pets) and training his pet (phoenix) that I got from completing the factions campaign story line At the same time as vanquishing areas in hard mode.

wow their is many combos lol

do you fight other players?

I'm not a big PvP-er myself. Never been too good at it, I do like Alliance Battles a lot though. Which needs some explaining, in the released the second game two factions were introduced Luxon (pirates on a sea made from jade) and Kurzicks (arty forest dwellers in a stone forest) and your guild can choose their alliance with one of them if the leader owns the second game. You can then participate in Alliance battles with your faction if you also own the second game. Alliance battle is 3 groups of 4 vs 3 groups of 4 in one big map. The aim is the first to 500 points or to capture all 7 shrines for 30 seconds. You get points every kill, and per captured shrine per 7 seconds. It's a pretty awesome PvP mode, lots of rivalry between the factions. I'm luxon btw

wow that sounds really interesting i think im going to have to check that out > whats the name of the latest version or whatever?

[de.monkeyz]

What do you mean latest version? There's 3 campaigns (stand alone) and one add on, the 3 campaigns are Prophecies (only first 6 professions - warrior, monk, ranger, necromancer, mesmer, and elementalist), factions (asia type, adds assassin and ritualist, gives access to Alliance battle) and nightfall (most recent gives access to dervish and paragon). And the addon is mainly for max level chars (20)

Thought I'd post some pics of my Pet and my Dervish :p



And number 2:

[adeang]

cool pics btw!

Version > I mean when I go to my game store or bestbuy what do I look for to buy cause their are different types of the game right.?

[de.monkeyz]

Well there are 3 campaigns, Nightfall being the most recent, but they are all updated. Just some features aren't available in others, factions gives assassin/ritualist and AB. Nightfall gives heroes (customizeable AI players) and dervish/paragon. And prophecies is the original campaign, and eases you into the game a lot. Either way the campaigns can be stacked on one account so you have all the access and your players can travel to another continent when they reach a port town.

If you're a big PvP-er then go with factions. If you prefer PvE (adventure) go with nightfall, or if you prefer a slower pace Prophecies (original)
