I LOVE Guild Wars. It's awesome.. and very, very differnt from every other MMO. The Expansion is going to be amazing as well! Imagine a developer coming up with a non-broken world PvP aspect!?

It's the least broken MMO I've ever played, and I enjoy it a lot.

GuildWars byfar has superior organized pvp to atleast WoW in my opinion.
But since everything is instances (ie there's a diffrent world map for every party) except in towns, WoW is certanly better from a roleplay perspective..
Actually world pvp in WoW is great if you play on a pvp server, it's fun walking around, noticing some pesky alliances going into stealth(if your a rouge) and spying on them till backup arrives

Guild Wars is fun. I bought it used, played it for a month or so. Not my type of game though.Too slow moving for me.

I mean broken. WoW PvP is pretty broken. All the classes in the game are designed for PvE, and when they throw in PvP everything gets mixed up. Guild Wars was designed from the PvP perspective in mind from the get go - and PvE is secondary.

Guild Wars has fast pace instances, a good, dedicated community, and a development company that understands the PvP aspects of the game perfectly. WoW has a bloated, predonimantly 12 year old, whining community, long, sometimes boring instances, and a development company that appears sometimes to be too busy counting all their money to think changes through before they impliment them.

Don't get me wrong, I don't really play much of Guild Wars anymore, and I still play tons of WoW - but I think that I appreciate Guild Wars more than I do WoW. It doesn't quite have the staying power - and setting up a hard core guild is very difficult.
