Is GuildWars (PC game) still worth joining, it has been out quite awhile?

Question

I was thinking about buying GuildWars the PC because it doesn't have a monthly fee like WoW and besides that I played WoW for 2 years straight so it's kinda became a I've been there done that game. Now Guildwars has been around for quite awhile and I was wondering if it's still worth joining because will there any competition, most people probably are way ahead in the game and I don't know anything about Guildwars (I only saw screenshots)... is it burning up or still worth joining, build your character up from scratch and still be able to join the big guys withing a couple of months?

Answer 1

I used to play GW a lot more than i do now but i'd say it's very worth joining. with the recent nerfs agaisnt farming people won't have much money and as such the game will balance out more. the nice thing with guildwars is that since it caps out at level 20 anyone can catch up because at level 20 it comes down to skill and strategy more than anything else. you're going to want to look into websites and stuff for builds so you know what to aim for but the issue alot of other RPG's have of having an elite, near untouchable group of high levelers and not being able to reach them or ever be as good is eliminated by the lvl 20 cap
