Part public service announcement, part me being sick of the damn Guild Wars box mocking me across the room as it sits there in its factory sealed box of instanced multiplayer suckage.
The game is completely instanced after you leave town. You can’t jump over a log, a rock, or a even small ledge. There’s so much contrast and bloom to the graphics you’ll go blind quicker than looking directly at the Sun. No auction house to waste hours upon hours in like WoW. Virtually zero character customization. Only 4 character slots.
How can any (mistakenly) claim this is an MMO without then making every other multiplayer title from Diablo on also qualify as “Massively Multiplayer Online” when they allow no more than a small party of players and in/out of game instanced towns and lobbies for matchmaking?
The Rules:
To enter simply reply in the comments with the line

“Guild Wars is NOT a MMO!”
… On second thought, any comment to back up your belief in this multiplayer game, just as long as you promise to never again claim Guild Wars is a MMO. Ever. I’ll be watching…
You may only enter this contest once. If you don’t win, we plan on having another VERY soon!
The randomly chosen winner (to be decided on September 28th) by myself (or another blogger from the MMO community) will win the above full retail copy of Guild Wars.
Contest Restrictions:
You must be a U.S. resident to claim the prize (ie. have the box shipped to you). Non-U.S. residents (Canadian’s too I s’pose..) may particpate for a yet to be named prize.
If the winner agrees that Guild Wars does indeed suck and is NOT an MMO, they may choose the alternative prize instead.
Last month Sony used a decapitated goat as the centerpiece of a party it threw in Greece to promote the launch of Playstation 2 title “God of War II”.
