PC-GUILD WARS PLATINUM (PC)

Alright, I've played quite a few MMORPGs in my day, some with monthly subscriptions and others being free and I have to say, Guild Wars is better than anything I've played so far.

I started playing on recommendation from my boyfriend and at first I was really skeptic but after creating my first character and diving into the Prophecies campaign, I was not disappointed. I loved the feeling of the different towns and how you could choose to just go into the field with just yourself and a few NPCs or feeling froggy enough you could team up with other people. I also loved how you could kneel (literally) at the statues of the game's Gods and the avatars of the gods would come down and bestow upon you blessings and enchantments for a few gold coins.

Although the level cap is only 20, that's only the beginning of the game. After level 20, you still obtain experience points to get more skill points for your character. Not to mention at that point, you can then start training to get your Elite Skills and Elite armor sets.

And I have to say I'm not really into PvP, but I got more into it the more I played Guild Wars. You have the option in Guild Wars to PvP with NPCs or to go up against other players and vice versa. You also get PvP specific NPC characters and Heroes to add to your party.

I would definately recommend Guild Wars to other RPGs lovers out there.

Guild Wars has many excellent gaming experiences to offer! You'll definately enjoy the beauty and considerable talent employed to artwork. Landscapes, architechture, beings, & animation are all superb. I'm sure you have heard ArenaNet's got it all in Guild Wars. So I decided to share a concern I have with careing parents.

While the game itself is rightly rated Teen13, the fabulous towns and outposts of guild wars are actually animated chat rooms. ArenaNet has strict rules about conduct...most important is DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION such as real name, phone #, address, banking info., etc. Make sure your child is mature enough to abide by the rules UNCONDITIONALLY!

No one knows your child's capabilities better than you do. They will be meeting, chatting, and making friends with strangers online, as they gain allies to complete quests and missions during the game. Most of the players are helpful and kind. Some few are risque and use suggestive language (even though no foul language is allowed). These can be rude, mean or abusive. ArenaNet is very good at posting guards in game, and you can report misconduct, but there is a risk for immature players. Be sure your child understands that the game is not for meeting a new best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend, and that they should not ever divulge their own age.

The best thing you can do is audit the game yourself before allowing unchaperoned play. Just grab a seat to watch and listen, because all online games have headset & mike capablities. They encourage great downloads like Teamspeak to facilitate allied forays. That means your child can hear other players, and can be heard, other than typing messages.

Overall, this game can help one develope a sense of comradery and team skills valuable in real life. I think anyone interested in acting would also benefit. There are also great opportunities to better understand self during game play. But this experience must be kept an anonymus arrangement for the personal safety of all players. Make sure your child creates fictitious characters, and understands role-playing.

I heartily recomend this gaming experience to all mature enough to grasp these concepts! Me, personally? I think this is the best game of it's type ever! Can hardly wait for GW2!
