I am posting this to end the confusion that a few people here seem to have. This is taken from the latest "behind the scenes" with Arenanet.


"Guild Wars is a CORPG, or Competitive Online RPG. This means it is an MMORPG in which the main focus is combat."


The link can be found here:

http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/article/23485


Plain and simple. Like I've always said, anyone arguing against this fact is ignorant.

I cannot possibly comprehend those who are still arguing it's not. Severe lack of reading comprehension or failed basic english? I dunno.

P.S. Stop missquoting the GW FAQ all it does is demonstrate you can't comprehend what you read.
P.S.S. In case you havn't realised the Subject is just to draw attention from the "language challenged" who are still in denial.

LOL - Yeah. I titled the subject in such a way as to take the piss out of those that hold the title to be true.


I admit the whole thread adds to the confusion ROFL. Sorry.


I will use baby language.

Arenanet says Guild Wars is MMORPG
MMORPG.COM says Guild Wars is MMORPG
Games Domain says Guild Wars is MMORPG


IT IS NOT A MATTER OF OPINION

2+2=4
GW=MMORPG


Sorry for the confusing subject line. I thought the sarcasm would be obvious.

When I pee in your soup, it does not sour

It IS an MMO in a sense that it has thousands of players on 1 server which is exactly what an MMO means. Which can interact with eachother. But GW is based around PvP and not PvE. It's merely split into "districts" and PvE is limited to groups only. At least thats how it was in the demo. Anyone who says this isn't an MMO has no basic logic skills.

 

 Just because they say its a CORPG doesnt mean it's not an MMO. I think the best description would be an MMCORPG.

Call it whatever the heck you want, who cares . . . it is still a damn good game from what I saw when playing the E3 Demo.

I would not call it a mmorpg in the sense that it is NOT an RPG at all.  There are no roleplaying elements in the game from what I have seen.  It is indeed a Combat oriented game that does very well what it sets out to do - Multiplayer combat.

Also, even though many people can play it at once, the arena and mission areas are always limited by team size.  So if there are limits to team sizes and then instanced zones are created where the combat takes place, I would argue that Guild Wars is not even a MMO.

So take out MMO and RPG and what do you get?

A very fun multiplayer game based on team combat.  So we have VFMGBOTC

No, that's too long. 

TBCMPG - Team based Combat Multiplayer Game

forget it, it's Guild Wars, and it's good.  Because it manages to NOT be tagged as a certain type of game shows you something.  The creators made a game that is different from the rest.

Thank you, ArenaNet and NCsoft.

Fear is the mind-killer.

It is a MMORPG. But stating it as fact just because the developers call it a MMORPG is pretty flawed logic. I'm sure they are also, or soon will be, calling it the best mmorpg on the market, that doesn't make it a fact.

This is a dumbass thread and I'm tired of seeing it. I'm also really tired of seeing morons calling the game free. After the E3 demo failed to work on my system I don't think I'll even bother peaking in here anymore. Enjoy your instanced, glorified Dia-blow.
