1. What makes Guild Wars different than other MMPORG's (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) ?
For starters, Guild Wars will have no monthly fee for most players. In addition, there are a number of special features of Guild Wars that will greatly reduce the redundant nature of so many other MMPorg Games. Professions and Skills (see Gameplay Information) can be tested in the first few levels of experience before the player specializes.

9. What can you tell me about the Guild Wars Interface?
from Baranor: "16 hotkeys atm, at least for me, but i havent felt the need to customize them yet. You can either keyboard control or mouse control or anything in between. I "hybridize". You can assign skills and gear to hotkeys, and it works like a charm. Currently we have 8 equipment slots, 8 skill slots, health bar, energy bar, map, windows icon to minimalize/maximalize, and two more controls to draw forth character stats and ingame options."
