Start to play again? - Guild Wars Forums

MrScaRy · Oct 02, 2006, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Has anyone stopped playing and restarted playing? I'm one of those people who's been through prophecies and factions... been in competitive pvp/gvg... and then stopped pveing and mainly focused on gvging but then eventually stopped altogether after a ladder season ended.

I have no idea of the new skills and I didn't participate in any of the double exp/fame weekends and stuff or have any idea of nightfall, and don't plan on buying it either. Is there any reason I should start playing again?

I dropped the game then picked it back up again, not once but twice. I find that that's actually one of the nicer things about the game, you don't have to keep 100% up to date to be able to play.

When I quit both times, i just needed a break. I wasn't really having fun anymore, and there were other things that needed to be done. When I picked the game back up, it was all still familiar to me. not that much had changed. It seemed more refreshing again. I picked up a different character and beat Prophecies a few more times and got some different armor in Cantha. I just basically picked up the game like I hadn't stopped playing. But, since I habitually PUG, I don't have to worry about Guild life.

I guess the real trick is to just put down the game for a bit, do something else for a while, then just start playing again. If you've got a free character slot, try something new. It may not work, but the game'll always be there if you need something to do.

Well, I havent played in about 4 months. I stoped playing with max gold in my account and I was quite happy to see my account was still running with all my old stuff still there. no hacks no problems.
Only problem is I have no idea what I am doing anymore. lol
Do I run around Faction getting all the skills from there.. run around Tyria or continue farming Old School with my old 55 and Tank?

I need some help I think
