I remember how excited I was when I first heard of Guild Wars. A friend of mine sent a link to an email group about what he called a MMORPG with no monthly fees. The idea is certainly attractive and I decided to go check it out. One of the first things to note is that the developers of Guild Wars refer to the game as a CORPG (Competitive Online Role Playing Game) and if you consider the name of the game it certainly makes it evident that competition plays a very important part in this experience.
