Sebastian,
 As far as roleplay goes, theres almost anything out there fo you.  Star Wars Galaxies, im my experence is the best for role play, being that there is already a stage set for it.  i.e. Jedi's being Jedi's, Bounty hunters being Bounty hunters.  Not into Star Wars? no problem, games like World of Warcraft offer special Role Playing (RP) servers for this, as where Star wars galaxies does not.  

 In summary, if your still reading, World of warcraft would be the best choice from my experence.  

If I did not answer your question, please ask me again.

Answer
Guild wars is more of a PVP based game.  I have tried to research some RP in the game and it is scarce.  Everquest (EQ) works for role play.  I would advise staying away from SOE games, but Everquest 2 has proven to be a worth while game.  RP is pretty abundant in it.  Bonus guild wars is that there is no monthly fee, but at the same time, the updates do not come as often as other MMORPG's.  

  A big factor for RP is how many other there are that want the same thing.  So, based on Role Playing quality i would rank in this order

So as far as RP, I would go..

1.) World of Warcraft
2.) EQ2
3.) Dungeon and Dragons online
4.) Starwars Galaxies
5.) Guildwars

Again, you have to base all the games on your play style and if you like it or not.  Try to get a free trial of all the games ou can, just to try them out.  I know dungeon and dragons online is having a 7 day trial right now, as well as star wars galaxies.  And you dont have to like star wars to like the game, trust me.
