My WoW charecter dissapeared!

See, I play RO (only MMO I play), and there's something like...10-20+ different types of weapons for each class (some have less than others, but most weapons also aren't restricted to a specific class), plus you can upgrade them and such by adding cards. Which pretty much makes it an infinite number of weapons you can use, depending on the card combos. Of course, some cards are complete rubbish, while others are excellent and everyone wants them, though that also depends on what your class is, your build, and all that fun stuff.

You can upgrade the prefix and sufix of any weapon Eg: Bows: Bowstring and Bow Grip

Example: Fiery (string) HalfMoon Bow of Defence (Grip)

You can also dye the colour of any weapon, armour, and you can mix dyes. I think there are 256 different colour combinations. (mix of 2,3 and 4)

What is RO exactly?

Ragnarok Online.

Color doesn't actually effect it in any way other than superficial, though, right? 😛 I like messing with changing my character's colors in RO, for a while my Priestess had white hair and was wearing all black, that kinda amused me...

Also, with RO, if you use a weapon where you use arrows (bow, instrument, or whip...don't ask on the last two, just go with it), there's something like 30 different types of arrows; ones of various weight and strength, elemental ones, and ones that have a chance of casting certain status effects. I usually carry no less than 6 different types of arrows with me (regular ones, ones of each basic element, and Holy ones for when I'm hunting undead monsters).

Hum, before I search that up, Monthly Fees?

nvm....

I saw that already, My Friend has a hack so I can obtain an account without fees.

It was pretty funny how this went from an "omg i lost my wow character" to The desperation of Guild wars and how bad it sucks. All you did by posting your first comment Koala was yelling to everyone that guild wars is a dying mmo but you still love it. It was a good laugh though. 🙂 oh and BTW wow has over 100 different ranged weapons, including guns bows and crossbows. Just thought I'd throw that in, Guild wars doesn;t compare to wow. Sorry but maybe the whole WoW in the name woulda been a hint that the convorsation was about, oh, i dont know, WoW?

GW is a reletevly new game, Its "Free", I like it, maybe I would liek WoW better, bt I am NTO spending 15$ a month on that.

Plus, GW is not updated like WoW, every 6-9 months there is an expention pack, mroe classes, skills, weapons, double the size of the map.

GW might not be much right now compared to WoW, but, Eventually, in one or two years, GW will overpower WoW.

Doubtful, Wow is dominated every other online RPG in the world, Guild Wars will enjoy a few boosts every now and then because of it's annual expansion pack releases, but people will stop playing because it doesn't have the longevity of WoW.

Define what you eman by longitivity, because GW has a good 150 hours of gameplay storyline, with an added 100 hours of gameplay every 6 months.

I don't know if WoW ahs this, but muhc like Runescape GW has Halloween, Christmas and Easter drops, you know, an added fun thing.

Allthought I do agree that there should be mroe things to do ounce you have finished the game, Because right now, all you can do to really finish off everything is Try and obtain Armour... Rare armour nobody has.

Wow has far more items which will keep people coming back constantly, just when you get 'the best' items, they add a tons more and they take months to get. Plus, while WoW won't have an expansion every 6-8 months, they do have free patches that add/change stuff every 3 months or so. WoW also has a ton more dungeons and a deeper PVP system. Guild Wars wasn't made to be a game that one would play for a year straight, they don't make any more money from someone who buys the game and plays it for a year than they do from someone who buys the game and plays it for a week. They just want people to buy each new expansion.

While Guild Wars may take 150 hours to do everything and get your character totally decked out, it would take thousands of hours to do the same in WoW. There's just more content in WoW, as there should be, seeing as it's purpose is to keep people playing and paying for as long as possible.

Yeah, WoW has special holiday events/items as well.

true, I should have forseen that.

apy per motn = get people as hooked as possible to get as much money as possible

Pay ounce = an ending.

Allthought I am intrested in seeing how factions will play out, becasue "You willw an what comes with factions", I'm really hopeing for better Weapons / a widder variety, beacuse thats what It really lacks.

Example: (from things that I know of)

D2, each weapon is unique, even if its the same.
You never find the same weapon twice.

Thats something I would hope for, for GW expenations, you can always find something better.

Factions does look good, really. I might even buy it. New classes are always a plus, and the new large scale PVP battles look really neat.

Whilst WoW probably has the better gameplay mechanics, I think Guild Wars is more of the way forwards, though. The game that will really 'crack' the MMO thing will, I suspect, have far more of a GW approach to payment.

WoW is only the biggest thing in the West (plus Korea), it should be remembered.

Thing is, GW isn't a 'real' MMO. There isn't a persistant world, it's all instanced, out in the wilderness you won't run into other players, it would be nearly impossible to have a real MMO like WoW without a monthly payment. Unless they released a fully priced expansion every 3-4 months. Which in the end would end up costing the same as a monthly payment system.

WoW has already pretty much cracked the MMO boundries, there is no MMO that is equally popular across the entire glob. Lineage and Lineage 2 are huge in some Asian markets, but have a dying game here in the states and in other parts of the world. WoW, while not AS popular in other parts of the world, is still doing very well in all markets, maybe not number 1, but still going strong, from what I understand.

You mentioned GW not be as deep with the PvP, As you might all kno, Factions has a VERY intensive PvP gameplay, seeing as how every aspect of the PvP effects the PvE (or player Vs Element)

It is a full out war.

The Results of the PvP bttles effects the "Front lines" Taking over cities, sadly, ounce Europe has control, as always, they will not let it go, ever...

Plus, It is True that Overall, GW with all its expentions ends up costing the same as Any Monthly fee, that is, if you chose to buy them.

Each expention released for GW is indpendant, thus, making sure each release is as massive as the previous one.

You can link the Games, as you all know, which has been discussed before, bla bla bla.

Like I said, the new PVP content of Factions does look very promising. I love large scale PVP, and it's about time they add that into Guild Wars.

Now if only they'd add a one on one PVP option, even if it's just for fun, like the dueling in WoW, one of the best parts of WoW is getting into a battle one on one with someone else, and having nothing but your skill and knowledge to protect you.

yeah, Mano a mano would be the best update for PvP, that and classic CTF, I just love CTF.

PvP is great fun, that's the main reason I'm determined to level my characters all the way on RO, so I can PvP without getting killed right away....and kick other people's asses as well 😊

I've been thinking of getting both WoW (just can't afford the monthly fees right now) and GW, so we'll see over which I'll get, or if I ever do at all.

Just get GW Lana, it's a fun fun game, especially for its price. Get WoW later when you can afford the 12 dollars a month.

*cough*15*cough*

If you pay monthly it's 15, if you get one of the deals where you pay 3 or 6 months at once, it becomes 12 bucks a month.
