My advice:
Buy WOW. If you don't like it's gameplay and wouldn't want to play it for another month,then try GW.

Also, what aging PC are you on? 3 second loads? Mine have never been over a second.
While I really don't like guild wars, I kinda think judging a game by level 2 is a bit... uh... hasty <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
true cant judge a book by its cover i could say the same about wwow ive got to lvl 2 but it sucks many games get a lot better later on i would say even if it was a great game you would still dislike it

I'll probably not really have enough time for PS, let alone WoW.
Also, the whole RPG thing puts me off WoW, as high-level characters have a much better chance at beating a low-level one in WoW, than in GW. (Been round a freind's, who has both, and I like GW better than WoW.)
Ahh, sod it, I'm ordering GW. Might as well have 2 games thyat I'm going to report to their respective devs about the x64 issue, as neither really have tested their product with it...
The thing is, WoW is fun, but it's not fun enough for me to justify the monthly fee. Guild Wars is fun enough to justify the monthly fee. It's frusturating for me right now, because I'm a Monk (Mo/N16). In missions, I just play healbot, which gets boring. In PvP, I am always the first one targeted, which is annoying. I probably need to switch to a different class, but I've already spent dozens of hours on my character.
When i play a mmo i get past lots of classes start a fresh until you get a class you like and get a feel for you might find one that is better than the last
so if you get to lvl 20 in GW so quickly... what do you spend all your time doing after that? just getting better equipment and whatnot?
I have a real tendancy in MMO games to lose interest shortly after getting a char to max lvl, and if that happens in just a week or two, then <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
edit: so far of the MMO's I've played, WoW kept me interested for about 3 months, SWG for about 2, and Planetside for about 3 and counting...
