PvP in WoW is far more elaborate and intense than the PvP in Guild Wars.
WoW PvP:
- On PvP servers you can attack opposing faction members at any time.
- Battlegrounds allows for 40 vs 40 combat.
- Unique rewards such as weapons and armor can be purchased using honour points gained in PvP
- Honour system rewards players for killing other players "honourably"
- Same character you use everyday can be used in PvP. No need to start a Pvp only character
- combat is direction based. Some attacks require you to be behind a target. ie Rogue sneaks up behind target
- Team work is essential. A combination of each class of players makes the best team.
GW PvP:
- Have to create a PvP character that starts maxed out at level 20? What's up with that? I worked so hard building up my character and I can't use him in PvP? Who designed this game?
- Can't attack people outside of PvP instances because everyone is in their own instance! Come on, this game is multiplayer at best. No way is it a MMORPG!
Once again, if you are looking for the MMORPG experience then WoW is the best MMORPG out there.
If you are looking for an arcade style Cooperative Online Role-Playing Game (CORPG) then Guild Wars is what you want.
Don't be fooled. Guild Wars is not a MMORPG. If you approach it as one you will be very dissapointed. 8 players is the most you'll ever play with!
