Just got Guild Wars: Nightfall...should I open it?

[Arkay Firestar]

Its the CE btw, 18.xx clearanced at CC...not sure if I should open it. I like MMOs just fine, but I always wondered in what ways the gameplay or experience was deficient for them to be able to make it free-to-play. Good net code? Good combat? Do a lot of people play? Is it the best of the releases?

Thanks!

It seems the CE is going for a pretty decent amount.

The netcode is suburb, the combat is as good as any other game out there and there are a ton of people playing. I liked Factions better than nightfall, but that's really only because I preferred the Asian themes. Even if you only run through the RPG missions and level your character to 20 (the max) there's still plenty of entertainment there for under $20.

I'd say try it.
It was fun for me for two years until I found Team Fortress 2.
(whole series, not just nightfall)
