Guild Wars?

[DRogers]

Anyone here play Guild Wars then?

[apeo]

I just started this year, just a lowly lvl 12 W/Mo at the mo.

I started late last year, I have a level 17 W/E Around The Wilds, and just started again and have got a level 5 Me/M at Fort Ranik

Cool, here's a question you might be able to answer.. purple and gold items, i get a few purple ones every now and then but i cant see what so special about them. Any idea?

i tried guildwars but i didnt find it very stimulating compared to the other games I play.

They give extra bonuses Purple ones give a few, gold ones give even more.

@DRogers: But the things is, I find that the bonuses from alot of purple items arent that great and see little difference to blue items.

@Browolf: So what other games are you talking about?

I played guildwars for about 5 weeks when it was released, I was (and still am) heavily into World of Warcraft, but was curious to check it out.

Quite enjoyed my time in guildwars, but ultimately found that it didnt have enough depth or content for me.

@Jake: I think most people who like mmorpg probably feel the same as Guildwars isnt really a mmorpg.

Im still new to it so I still spend a reasonable amount of time on it but who knows in a few months time. I think it will depend on how much i get into pvp as this is a strong element in Guildwars. As for WOW, I would love to play it but Im not willing to pay £30 per month to do it. Im not so rich that Im willing to make that kind of commitment

Just picked up the Guild Wars Special Edition in Game today for £9.99

About to install it but just wondering whether there is different servers [like FF] and if so, I'd like to join one that someone else from here is on.

Please reply quickly hehe

Not important if you can transfer from one server to another really tho

Cheers

PC Format is giving away 2 weeks free Guild Wars on the cover

[apeo]

@tarquel: somewhat late i know but havent had chance to logon to edugeek in a while... any who you might find that in terms of servers is location and it only makes a dif later on when you do farming and you have to enter certain areas of the game. These areas can only be entered if your region has 'favor' which basically means a team from your region has won in a player v player match that gives the region 'favor'. other than that no you dont have to choose servers.

I played the first release of Guild wars

they have since released an addon which we have to pay for, i cba with that tbh, i played it cos it was free.

Anyone know if its still possible to play the original release since the addon was released?

i had a lvl20 Mesmer/Elemental
a lvl17 Warrior/Monk
and a lvl11 Necro/mesmer (this char was awesome in the PVP arenas) i could 1 salvo an opponent in the cycle of three moves from longe range )

@apeo:
Yeah - noticed the favour thing last night when i loaded GW up again, after not playing it for a while.

And like griffin says - WoW [or Final Fantasy Online - shameless plug here lol] is only ~9 a month. Not bad if u have time to play games - which u should do, need to relax right guys? lol

@DaveT:
If you mean Factions, then no you dont need to buy it in order to play the original still.

The same as when they release Nihtfall in about 7 days, you wont need this to play the original.

You of course cant play Factions or Nightfall without buying them, but they are free to play afterwards and although they install together i.e. 'one client to bind them all' lol - they are seperate games as such i beleive

Oooh printer jam

later
