Guild Wars

My friend has been playing it for a while now, so he tells me quite a lot about it.

First and foremost, this isn't a MMOG, you actually play with only a few other people at a time, the only time it's massive is in town (I think) when you're just idling or chatting.

The game is basically, as the name suggests, based on group pvp. You get in a guild and battle against another team, this is basically the whole game.

I won't be playing it myself, doesn't look like it would hold my interest for very long.

So, say you've been playing CoH for about six months, and now want a comparable D&D experience... is Lineage II or WoW a better route to take over Guild Wars? Certainly sounds like it...

lol I can hardly imagine someone roleplaying in lineage 2 with how steep the grind is.. WoW may provide more of a role play experience (I think thats what you mean anyway), as they have strict roleplaying servers

How much worse is grinding in Lineage II compared to CoH? Using a bunch of mid-20/30 level characters in that one, I can't imagine Lineage being THAT much worse...

Lineage II is the king of the grind, the whole game is based on the grind. I'd suggest WoW, big time. Role Playing is a big part of that game, especially if you join a Role Playing server.

What Chris said.

my name on guild wars is Lord Skywalker im on a Ranger/Elementalist right now (level 17) i think the game is awesome its a ton of fun just adventuring out wiht people... i spent liek 6 hours going on a huge expedition... look me up in the game

the new build was messed up and the game would crash if you walked so everyone started doing /dance .... mostly without clothes.

me after I bought all the ascalon gear

you know you can kill hud? ctrl + shift + h

Apparently i preordered it through best buy..... and it still hasn't fing come 😠 it said it was shipped on the 27th I already saved my name 😛 think i forgot lol its been a while 😄

Thats why I never preorder anything, I hate making a commitment to a store and then they screw up and don't get it on the right day.

yea i walked into gamestop on wednesday and bought it they even gave me the preorder box so i could log in that day and not wait for wide release on thursday.. pre-ordering is stupid

well i preordered because i knew i would have no money at this moment 😂 plus i really can;t play right now anywway 😂

so i went into eb games today to due some browsing. i asked the guy if he had played guild wars? he said no, but he advised against it because its not actually free like it says. he said that its free, but then upgrades keep coming out that you have to pay 20 dollars for.

is he full of crap? all ive heard is free online play, free online play, free online play. I am looking very possibly at buying this game.

Yeah, there will be updates that will expand the game, but you don't have to buy them if you don't want to.

yea get it anyway.. theres TONS of stuff to do in the game

Yeah i can tell how that there are like 4 kingdoms ranging from ice to molten to desolate... and there are orc armies, undead armies , zerg like things and demons 😄

theres many kinds of dragons, giants, trolls, ghosts, snakes, big ass tremor worms, centaurs, theres everything you could want to kill and its long as hell.. there plenty of stuff to find and do after 20

Elementalist Ranger, methinks. Water or Air specialized. Perhaps a Necromancer Ranger, too. Or maybe a Necromancer Warrior.

Teh hawtness.

Rangers and Warriors are not the best secondary classes.. ranger is ok as it though, but warrior is close to useless at it

btw you can change your secondary after you ascend but at a great price
