Well - all MMOGs have something that tries to differentiate them from the competition.

And this one dosen't seem all that different - there is still a version of the PvP and PvE as far as I can make out from previews and the site.
PvP variation is for instance the Guild vs. Guild missions/combat and PvE is the solo missions.
The only real places it seems to differentiate itself, that I can tell from the information, is with the skill system and the "no-traveling" thing. And then it seems to be the diablo of MMOGs.

PvE is a group of players that play against the Environment. It is not solo missions.

PvE stands for Player vs. Envioment and can just as well be solo as groups fighting against computer controlled monster(s).

About every thing has to do with Guilds or groups. See in must PvE you pick a group to play just that Mission. You also form Guilds to go at war with other Guilds by taking control of there towns and lands. Towns can be taxed to make money for the guild. There is a couple areas you can explore but must of it is for Guilds and groups. There one more PvP that you fight in arenas with a party and you are not able to pick who you fight with.

Here is three good Previews of Guild Wars that will tale you more then I can.

You can - as I said - also play solo missions in Guild Wars, it states so both on the official site and in numerous of the previews.
This game is very similar to most other MMOGs. on the market, although there are some different features in this game (instant action and the skillsystem) then other MMOGs
But then again, this is the case for almost all of the MMOGs on the market. Most of them have features to seperate themselves from the competition on the market.


But we are moving off topic here - the topic was if there was a need to make a forum for the game, and not a discussion about the developers calling it a CORPG instead of a MMORPG.

If you wish to discuss Guild Wars, it might be better to simply start a thread in the Game Discussion Forum which is the general discussion for games that haven't their own forum. Or possible you could ask Buck to move this thread there.

Was just as much myself - but that is only cause I'm interested in MMOGs, and try to follow the "field" of games out there
