"Experience MMORPG-style combat without the grind" - Download Guild Wars 2, create a character, do the 5-10 minute introduction, and you can pvp competitively with FAR superior mechanics, aesthetics, visuals, game modes, character builds etc.

That and the graphics are kinda...mmm...they're good but basic there's no "charming uniqueness" about it but honestly for a free game...pretty good.

Whether or not you've had experience with MMORPG style combat (think WOW more than RS3 in this case) or arena games (think WOW Arena, Battlerite, shades of HOTS) this is a game you will fall in love with if you give yourself the chance.
