Some quick questions:

- Do the skills work kinda like Diablo II with a skill tree?

- I'd like a fun class thats not too compicated. Melee?

- Are there races in GW?

- Any tips for a newb? How does one navigate? Anything to stay clear of?

- Is there crafting?

No, you get new skills by doing quests or buying them from a trainer. Your STATS are updated like in diablo II.
- I'd like a fun class thats not too compicated. Melee?
The only real melee class is warrior.
- Are there races in GW?
No, every player is human although you do fight nonhumans.
- Is there crafting?
You "disenchant" aka "salvage" items, take the mats to a NPC, pay them in gold to craft an item from the materials you got from the salvage.
How does one navigate?
You will be bound to your enviroment. You can not jump off most hills or cliffs. You will also find many invisible barriers that keep you in the areas the devs want you in. Once you enter an outpost, it appears on your map and you can teleport instantly to any of them via your map. You will not encounter any players that are not in your party in anyplace other than the outposts.
- Any tips for a newb?
If you have a fast machine.... you can do load locking:evil:. Everytime a member of your party leaves town, the entire party is forced into going into the zone they enter. If you have a fast machine, you can just jump back and forth thru the instance and load lock them so they can not do anything. :(

You might also want to join the anandtech guild wars guild, i was in it before i got bored with GW and sold it to one of my friends little brothers.


BTW, welcome back Warcrow, have not seen you post in a while:)

1 no. 2 hammer warrior. 3 human only now. pretty newb easy as you level it will be apparent. crafting is done by npc's. easy answer is no there isnt, but you gotta become as 1 with npc crafting to haVE A CHANCE. Theres a RPG here but its on rails, Still its fun, The real game is pvp GUILD STYLE and it takes a lot of rpg time to get the skills. Groups seem to be a real bitch (thats why I quit playing) same as EQ2. Same as all MMORPG is the community. There isnt one here. In my opinion of course (ymmv).
