Quotes:

Narrator: [First lines] The last day dawns on the Kingdom of Ascalon. It arrives with no fanfare, no tolling of alarms. Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze. People carry on with their daily lives, unaware that in a short while... everything they have ever known will come to an end.

yes, but then there's this...

I totally agree...Guild Wars is an engaging bit of lost reality. One of the few problems I've encountered is that players are usually not that helpful towards others in the least sense unless it is detrimental to their own task. My advice is to stick to the pre game as long as possible to make sure you have enough level to hack it in the "post-searing" world. Plan on doing most of the game by yourself (and broke) although I must admit the designers struck gold when they decided to make computer controlled bots that you can recruit to help you. Overall, I give the game itself an Eight out of Ten based on sheer re-playability and adaptiveness factors alone. Also, the visuals, while not the greatest, are nothing to laugh at either. Overall, I agree. A MUST-HAVE for any RPG fan alive.
