Anyone here play(ed) Guild Wars before?

Guild Wars 2 should be coming out soon and I'm thinking of getting it, but I haven't played Guild Wars before so I don't know if I should get Guild Wars and play that for a while and then get GW2?

Yeah, I played the trial version for a day and could already see the trend.

Basically, it's like every other Fantasy MMORPG created by Aeria Games or Nexon... except its graphics are better... maybe. You do the usual thing where you start out as a person and then you become a person who uses a sword or a bow or a healing staff and you meet other persons and talk to persons and do quests for persons. It's like every single other MMORPG out there.

The difference is that there's a one time payment for Guild Wars, whereas most Aeria and Nexon games have a cash shop instead of a one time payment or subscription fee. Personally, I find games with cash shops are the devil's faeces sent straight from hell, but for some people it works because there's no fee at all as they choose to not buy anything from the cash shop.

All in all, if this is your first MMORPG you'll probably enjoy it. Guild Wars 2 does look pretty good, so I'd go for it.

It's not my first MMORPG, I played Runescape for years and did the WoW trial. I guess it's close to being my first, though

Thanks for replying =]
