I've seen a lot of reviews. All very good, and if I wasn't so invested in playing WoW I would have gotten Guild Wars. But WoW ends up being a social thing too, it's nice to join a game that a lot of people you know are already playing.

About the 15 bucks a month everyone is sad about... It's a little insurance, and it's a little bit of cash for the patches, updates, and new content. I can justify that cost. I'm assured that if there is a problem it will be addressed. I'm assured that the other players won't start coming up with hacks that will infringe on regular gameplay. That if there's a server down there are people to work on it. 24-7 support, its kind of worth it to me.
