    Re: Guild Wars...any players?

    I used to play GW. I was always interested in the PvP more than the PvE, and with the declining support that PvP had been getting, combined with poor balance and mechanics decisions, I decided to quit.

    I was core warrior for Error Seven Operators [Call] and later Professional Athletes [HGH] (a remake of the same guild). We were top ten for quite a while, top five for a short while. The name I played on was Cobalt Acumen.

      ah. well i guess that is understandable PvP is pretty fun, I really get a kick out of sunspear arena lol fun stuff.

      But you quit eh...thats a shame well hopefully someday you will give it another go...for me is kinda sucks because my computer was basically given to my mom so i can't play because i left it with her at the house (i moved out) BUT she is going to pay me like 650 dollars and with my job I'll just buy a newer better one ^_^ so until that time comes i am all guild wars...less

          It's a beautiful game, but the game play just gets old IMO. The PvP I didn't like at all. Probably because I'm use to the fast pace dueling on D2. GW is a great free to play online RPG though.

            I used to play GW a lot actually. but once you beat the storyline and collected everything in the game (which once you think about it isnt really a lot) it just got old. PvP held my interest for awhile but as someone stated before...it was unbalanced. I had almost every class with full FOW armor and once you have that then what? I havent played EOTN yet but i most likely will not

            I currently play WoW because of how massive it is...Have a lvl 70 Spriest in full epics. lvl 65 rogue...all pvp right now...just need to lvl it more. and a lvl 65 hunter...also will be for pvp. I am more drawn to WoW because there is just so much more to do and it actually takes quite a bit of time to reap the major benefits of the game...although benefits can be obtained with casual play. there is the 15$ a month fee but that really isnt a problem...you could pick up 50 cents off the ground a day easily to pay for it lol.

            But i still respect everyone that plays GW, it is a great game and the no fee attracts a lot of people. Both WoW and GW have their pros and cons. WoW is the game for me, but GW might be the game for others.

            Once GW2 comes out i will give that a try, but until then WoW is for me

                  Re: Guild Wars...any players?

                  Hmm... I used to play this quite a lot. I had a level 20 Warrior, Monk (this was my best character), Mage (2nd Best probably), and a Ranger. I started playing the expansion pack and eventually stopped because most of my friends stopped playing after a while.

                  If I am ever on I'll probably post more in this thread but I highly doubt it.

                        Re: Guild Wars...any players?

                        i used to play uncontrollably, i stopped about 2 years ago, my account is still there, i have 3 or 4 Crystilline swords that are max gold with low reqs, i think a couple of them were tyrian. i was pretty high lvl in pvp i think it was 11 or 12. i was part of guilds like spearman, and team everfrost (if i remember correctly) when they won the championship although i wasn't one of the 8 they used during the championship.

                        i did alot in that game, but i decided to stop. it was jsut to much.

                            Re: Guild Wars...any players?

                            Having played Guild Wars and gotten my character to level 5, and then playing WoW a little while later, I would say that WoW is much better. It has an infinitely more develped culture and storyline, and the expansions are truly worth buying. Also, the gameplay and spellcasting is fairly similar, except for the point-move/ arrow-move. The action bars on the bottom of the screen is the exact same format, making me wonder if someone copied someone.
                            Here is a list of what I consider to be the pros/ cons of each game.

                            Player Interaction: World of Warcraft
                            -In WoW, the whole world is an open area where you can meet up with other players at any time. In GW, the whole world is solo play except for the towns. You are also given an "Area Chat" where you can talk to everyone that is in the same area as you. Guild Wars is much more chaotic, and you can only quest with other players if they join your group and leave the town with you. Despite the Horde/ Alliance no-communication division in WoW, I still think it wins this category.

                            Storyline, Lore, History, and so forth: World of Warcraft
                            -I think WoW wins this category for obvious reasons. A main one is of course the diversity and background in each of the different choosable races. Being a fan and player of each Warcraft and Starcraft game since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, I can tell you that the world of Azeroth is so rich and involved that it would be hard to beat.

                            Player Interest/ Indentification: World of Warcraft
                            -For other reasons, you really must play and find a Race and Class combination that works for you. Once you do this, you truly identify with your character and it is that much more fun.

                            Character Customization: Guild Wars
                            -This could possibly be a downside. In what I played of GW, I noticed that the classes were very flexible in what you had to choose. This was actually one of the reasons that I dislike GW, but I can still see how others might enjoy this. Also, the WoW character creation screen is not that much more involved than the GW character creation screen.

                            Beginning level walkthrough/ Teaching how to play: World of Warcraft
                            -Although this was a close one, I felt in Guild Wars like as soon as I got to a fairly low level, I was released and not shown where to go next. The quests seemed to send me all over the place with no clear next destination.

                            Map/ Direction: World of Warcraft
                            -The quests sent you just where you need to go, and addons made this even easier to locate the correct position you needed to be. In Guild Wars, I felt like there were expert areas right near the beginner locations that you could fall into if you weren't careful. The WoW directions were much simpler and that much easier to follow.

                            Roleplaying Capabilities: ?
                            -All I remember of GW regarding this category is that I saw several characters dancing. I know that WoW has an extensive system of emotes and RP actions, but I am not in a position to judge those of GW.

                            Tech Support: World of Warcraft (Blizzard)
                            -GW tech support that I recieved was the usual unhelpful mediocre aid that you normally recieve. I think I ended up having to fix the problem myself that time. From WoW on the other hand, the service I recieved was exceptional. I fixed the problem within 30 minutes.

                            Player Community: World of Warcraft
                            -Due to each realm being separate, and being even further dividedin half into factions, causes an overwhelming sense of a community within each of these divisions. You can always identify with, and possibly befriend, anyone who plays on your Realm and is in your faction. This is because you are bound together from these connections.

                            There are more categories which I will edit in later, but for now my fingers are cramping.
                            Hope you enjoyed my commentary, even if I do have a bit of WoW bias.
