Guild Wars uses a Diablo 2 Battle.net model; the text-based lobby of D2 is simply replaced with a 3D graphical meeting area (like, say, a town) where you party up then play purely instanced content with a small group. This is why most data is controlled by the server; because it only has to be synchronized between a small group of players at a time. It's only as much of an MMORPG as Diablo 2 is.
