If forming a guild and taking on the best players around the world in team based PvP combat sounds appealing, then Guild Wars will certainly rock your world. Because of its design, your success depends more on the skills you choose and teamwork rather than having high level characters with ultra powerful equipment. But be warned. The PvP mode in Guild Wars has a steep learning curve and unless you form or join a guild that communicates well and takes things seriously, you can look forward to getting owned in an instant.
