Yup it's probably tied with classic EQ as favorite gaming experiences ever. I was pumped for PS 2 and then so disappointed when it was so much more twitchy/Call of Duty like. I know there is a classic Planetside project out there but not sure if it ever got traction.

Guild Wars 1 is the best PvP game, trying to call it corny makes no sense. There's immense depth to the build making, team coordination, and individual play. The combat pacing is the best I've ever seen in an MMO, and there aren't a million ridiculous effects cluttering the screen like in most MMO's now, nor a bunch of hotbars or constant spam abilities, nor characters cartoonishly rolling and jumping all over the place. It was influenced by Everquest in having an Enchanter-esque class and each character having 8 abilities. Very much like Magic the Gathering in that way, you're building a deck with 8 chars per team and 8 skills each. Being a "cleric/healer" in this game is better than in any other game too.

If GW1 had come out later when video recording was better and twitch was a thing, and if it had been managed better, then it would've been huge. It deserves to have the success that League of Legends instead got.

They went in "another direction" to make more money. Guild Wars 2 is a much dumber and more spammy/cluttered game, and you're contradicting yourself by saying it was a halfassed wow clone; clearly they didn't go in a better direction if you're saying that. Also, as much as I dislike GW2 (in part because it hurt GW1), it wasn't a WoW clone.
