One thing I definately like is the fact that it's mission and quest based. There is no running around killing things just to level up, you're always getting XP while doing either a mission or a side-quest.

Levels dont really matter once you get to the desert...automatically set at 20...

The game emphasizes strategy more than levelling

I can take a liking to getting exp from doing missions and quests. I also think the No Monthly-Fee part seperates it from the other MMORPG's as far as the genre is concerned. Chances are good Guild Wars contains more content or close to as much as R.O.S.E Online does, if not more. Free is bliss.

I still need to pay for international downloads and uploads to be able to play this.

So, unless there's a really good reason (as it is not free for me), I don't see the point.

Everyone gets confused with it.

You see, I have limits for international bandwithd. Don't ask me why, but I do. And when I pass it, I have to pay more.

That sounds like a personal problem.

For everyone else, it's more free. That's pretty fair.

That is why I asked if there is one other reason to play it instead of being free, since that's all you guys could tell.

Apart from the you level from quests thing, that's a good reason.

So, DM, don't speak if you are not going to help.

Teehee. So funny, TrongaMonga.

A friend said it was mix of other MMO Elements bunbled into one with a generic story. In my opinion, it seems more user-friendly and a lot better for a new person starting then say EQII, or WoW. Besides the non-paying limit, you would have friends from BF there to play with you. Sure, you can do that with WoW, but then you wouldn't post anymore.

Dont you pay for the expanions that comes out like every 2 months, which is required for you to play the game?

GW sucks anyways, MMO's in general suck.
