Yeah, AOL has lots of members too, and so does IE. that doesn't mean they are the best.
Guild Wars is a game you need to play with friends, preferably over a lan, you miss out on most of the fun if youplay it solo, unless you want to random pvp.
There are no other factions in GW, or actually, there is, the computer ennemies that attack you. Honestly I don't see how it's realistic to have so much adventurers as there are in WoW, that's pretty much the whole population of that world. It's ridicullous to think that you would be out hunting alone in the forest and having someone stumble on you. How many times in the amazonian forest has an explorer been miracullously saved from some beast by someone just wandering around there? I'd say it pretty much never happened. In medieval times you could actually walk right past a town in the wood/mountains without even knowing it was there if there wasn't any smoke. It's ridicullous to think you would keep bumping into people, unless you were following some kind of highly traveled track, but even then, there aren't legions of adventurers, most people are too busy actually trying to feed themselves and their familly to just go off wandering around in the wild hoping to find an ennemy, and then even if you did you couldn't go very far from town unless you were planning on hunting for your food.
