Guild Wars

" Limited chat to only your town district, no world chat "

not true

in guildwars you can chat with anyone that as any of the guildwars chapters.

its the only MMO that u can chat with everyone. no server cap.

I'm still injoying the time I spend in GW but it does not  seem like a mmorpg any more and has lost alot of it's luster. There are still alot of ppl that may show up in the game, but the problem lays in the fact that so many ppl are to busy farming...(Over farming most of the time)... for stuff that they don't even what other than to sell it for 10K or more, nobody really plays GW any more, unless there playing a class that they had not done before.

Ok lets say GW's isn't a MMO. The one reason it's not a ghost town like other mmo's can become is because there is one server in regards to players. So even though GW's gets beat up all the time over people creating their own definitions of a mmorpo. The one thing people seem to overlook, is with GW's you are always able to get to any player in the game period. Not 10,000 on one server, 10,000 on another. GW's you can get to over 1 million players. With that it keeps the population seem workable at any time. This is something the MMORPG big boys can really work on imo.

The good news for me is I only care about the team I'm on when playing. So this game satisfies that need. Everyone else out there not on my team isn't needed for me to enjoy the game. Bottom line is it's a co-op game.

Get Guild Wars. Its got no subscription fee and in my opinion it's better than 90 percent of all subscription based MMO's out there.

Guild Wars is a great choice, especially if you like balanced PvP.  Everyone is the same level, and teamwork is encouraged throughout the game.  If you like running solo, you can equip a full team with henchman, and 3 heroes who have templates you can adjust like your own, and micromanage their skills if you want.  As it is now, the game has been out long enough that most people wil either play with their guildies, or play H/H solo in PvE.  PvP still has a very active community and a lot of choices to fit your skill/preference. 

On-topic, you go to International districts if you want peace and quiet.  Go to AD1 and you will find crowds in most towns, especially big trade centers like Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan; and ToA.  Considering the last major content release was about a year ago, this game is among the most active I've seen.

GW has a good player base, it isn't big but the game have a good quantity of players to do the pvp and pve in general.

i was pleasantly surprised yesterday, i went to Divinity Coast in Tyria to go vanquishing and found about 20+ players in the American District. DC is not a main hub, just a mission outpost. The other day, i found around 20 something people in Quarrel Falls. With about 80+ outposts 75+ Mission outposts, 17 Towns, and people spread out all over the place  doing God knows what, i think GW is pretty well populated for a 3year old game.

Pre Searing Ascalon regularly has about 5 districts

Probably farming... And pre-searing is full of people trying to get their pre-searing 20s and then farm and sell dyes to people.

Exactly. What people don't realise is that on top of the fact that there are so many outposts and towns, the LARGE majority of people logged in are actually playing the game, meaning they're out in instances doing their thing. If all those people were to trek to towns, as many do during holiday events, we would have very many districts being created.

Gw isnt a mmorpg, so that might be a problem for soem gamers, but gw has much more polish that aoc. Gw still has quite a lot of player that still play because all the stuff you acheive in gw1 will unlock stuff in gw2, so many players are trying to beat every thing that can be beaten in the game (takes a while).

Join a guild in a pve alliance ad you'll have no problems finding players to play with. I suggest you look for a guild in the guild wars guru forums.
