    This is the third match of the second round of MMORPG Showdown 3. Although the match will be officially be decided in the Review Directory, this forum battle will be for extra comments and will serve as a tie breaker if one is needed for the match.

    Lol, this is a joke. Guild Wars is so much better than Sword of the New World. Sword of the New World is way less polished, less popular, and it has more grind than Guild Wars.
    Guild Wars is more popular, nicely polished, and has little grind, which in my books beats Sword of the New World.
    I also like the 'themes' in Guild Wars, Guild Wars: Factions, Guild Wars: Nightfall, and Guild Wars: Eye of the North expanision, and i bet if there is a theme in Guild Wars 2, it will be pretty good.
    Guild Wars: 9.1/10.0
    Sword of the New World:7.2/10.0

    Meh tired of Guild Wars! Both are f2p online but GW still has to be bought...you have to choose between which campaign to play too. SoTNW lets you play three characters at once and have a family!

    It might be an easy match for Guild Wars but Guild Wars has not had many tough ones. The semi-finals should be tougher, if Guild Wars does win this match:).

    I doubt Guild Wars will lose at all now that WoW beat Perfect World. I sure hope its not beat by RS rofl.

    Guild Wars is far more polished and an overall better experience.

    Imo you can have Guild Warts. I am not saying i love Sword of the New World, but I hate Guild Warts. People only rave about it because its free online like Diablo.

    Not completely true... some people do but most do it because it's a great game. The PvP is vary well done with monthly tournaments and more than one option like 1 vs. 1, team vs. team, random team vs. random team, Guild vs. Guild, Alliance vs. Alliance. The PvE isn't just go hear kill this many of this quest like WoW or Perfect World. The Mission are unique which is something MMO have forgotten.

    Why don't you like Guild Wars?

    Besides a few people not liking Guild Wars, I think Guild Wars stays undefeated for the time being.

    Come on, Sword of the New World doesn't compare to Guild Wars! How many people even play it? I doubt very many.
