Guild Wars For some gamers, paying upwards of $10 a month for the privilege of spending hours killing rodents, making casual virtual friends, and generally doing busywork is a hard sell. Plenty of folks are still willing to devote the time and the money to have elite characters, but with the online gaming market more crowded than ever, a more lightweight option is in order for the casual players. They want an entertaining online RPG they can enjoy while still having a life, and without the monthly fee. That’s exactly what Guild Wars delivers, and it does so brilliantly.
