Which was supposed to be more focused on PvP I think, I am not too sure though. Sometime while I was playing through the story though, there was an expansion announced: Guild Wars Factions. Indeed, I got hooked on the game a good 5 months after I bought it (Yep, I took a pretty big break because I wasn't that impressed with it). Regardless, I still had fun playing it, and the game play itself was innovative and fun. Well, I didn't really find this out until after I bought the game. I had only a few gripes with the game: The level cap was a measly level 20, and the overall world map wasn't open, but private and just there for you and only you to explore.
But still, with that gap in price you could've guessed that GW didn't have as many features as WoW did. I mean hey, $50 for a game with free online play? Not to mention that the graphics looked pretty awesome too.
Guild Wars was one of those games you would buy because you heard a few good things about it, I know that a friend of mine played it at school (He even told me we could play together online, but I haven't seen him on it once), and it seemed like a reasonable bargain. I doubt anyone here besides me has played Guild Wars to it's fullest, and even though I'm not a hardcore fan of it, I'm a sucker for MMORPGS (I'm no WoW player, but you get the idea).
