History Guild Wars was the first major Massively Multiplayer Online Game I ever played. It was a powerful influence for me. From the beginning I was with the Spirit of Elijah, which is a chapter of the Tribe of Judah gaming guild. The guild easily provided the best social experience I've had, before or since. It was because of them that Guild Wars provided so many amazing memories and experiences. I wish I had more screenshots of the Arenas, Heroes Ascent, Missions, and other random stuff we've done together. There were ups and downs, and the normal guild drama, yet it remains solid after all these years (SoE has existed since the beta of Guild Wars Prophecies).

Guild Wars remains one of the most beautiful MMOs to date, with a graphics engine and art design that has aged fantastically well. The game has taught me more about the importance of the social experience than any other multiplayer game, which is ironic due to the ability to play the vast majority of the campaigns solo. I think it might be because of this ability to play the same content with and without friends that I realized just how much a good social network of friends can make a good experience truly great. It is truly a massive world if you get the three campaigns and the expansion, and I am incredibly thankful for the ability to teleport to towns and outposts I've already been to. There is a ton of stuff to do after taking the time to complete the storylines, from dungeons to minigames to vanquishing to skill collecting, and so on and so forth. Considering it is free aside from the initial purchase, it is well worth the cost and I know I got more than my moneys worth out of it.
