Exactly and why is there an elite seal here to begin with? If community is what makes games like gw fun, then maybe I'm just not seeing whats appealing about it.

How do I feel about GW?

It got worse with every expansion pretty much covers it.

Then they added to the stupidity with mini-pets, z-chest for the those too stupid to make money and to top it all of, a PvE rank...lol

2005 was a good year though.

Well, things have changed a lot in GW over the years...I myself started playing around the Sorrows Furnace update. It's been a ride, that's for sure. Seeing the evolution and subsequent de-evolution of pvp after Nightfall's release has been interesting to watch...and even more interesting is seeing all the attempts at fixing it so far fail...and in most cases make things worse.

I still log on Guild Wars occasionally, even after 4 years of play. I usually RA, talk to friends, farm nicholas items, or just kinda observe some GvG. I feel the game is getting progressively deader and deader, but it is to be expected in an MMO that has lasted for so so long.

The PvE is fun and entertaining but lacks a lot of depth. What seems like a lot to master at first becomes stagnent and simple with more experience. Fortunately, the PvP is still probably the best you'll get out of any other MMO.

Overall still a pretty decent game that I'll always recommend to friends.

When you come from WoW because you think they RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up lately, I wouldn't recommend that. :P

I had a great time playing it and that's what matters. I don't expect a game like GW to last me forever.

I haven't played either of those, I have played a game called Guild Wars though.

I'm bored with it now, after all its been quite a few years - While I don't really play I don't regret the time I "wasted" like most other MMO's I played.

It's merely a time consumer game that has its fun points but it's hardly the greatest thing since sliced bread. Everything becomes repetitive fast and there are no major events like in an EQ or a WOW where it takes large groups to take on a BOSS. Hell I can solo most bosses in this game. If your idea is to be able to do that then you must like romper room? And that's another thing this game has turned from group oriented in to solo build from skill>time to time=skill and wealth. You watch the population disappear when they nerf SF. Plus the gnawing and gnashing of teeth on this forum (which I can't wait to read).

)

So WAKE-UP and stop being delusioned.

Since when is Star Wars Galaxies considered a 'great' MMO? It's a travesty of a game.

And no. I don't care for online games or MMOs. I tried WoW, FFXI, Perfect World, Ragnarok, Aion...they were all terrible. Boring, mindless grind, no thanks.

GW I got into pretty much because I was pestered to try playing it by my brother and one of my friends and I'm really glad I listened to them, as the game drew me in and I love it.

I've been playing a year now with about 700 hours. Sure, not a huge amount in comparison to some people, but considering how little I play games as of late, it's a ton for me.

There's just so many things this game did right. Very different from other online games, but different in a good way, and I certainly hope that more developers consider at least using elements from how GW works.

I really like that this system has a great balance for hexes, conditions, chains, and the ability to actually counter in this game. How many other games support this? None hardly. The only thing I've seen come remotely close was Grandia and that's just a console RPG.

And that's what Guild Wars is, really - a traditional Console/Computer RPG. Just one that allows for cooperative multiplayer (or just building a party of NPCs, like more traditional games of this type), PvP, and has a few other MMORPGish features tacked on (including most of the stuff everyone whines about as being grind, otherwise known as titles/achievements).

Must say that guildwars is easy to get in and out.People can come back for more without worry.At least you don't lag behind your friends in term of grinds.Even with changes there will always be information for you to keep up on wiki.Which most MMO does'nt or barely have them on one place.

own age myname · Oct 28, 2009, 10:08 PM // 22:08

^ I agree with the wiki comment above.

Only 1 other MMO I've played has a wiki (runescape) with ARMOR PICTURES. It annoys me I can't see what my armor looks like. Not that it matters I guess, most MMOs just recolor armors each 3 levels :/.

I used to have a blast on gw and still do, for the most part. But I get bored quickly now and I rarely play anymore. I enjoy special events like halloween fest and all those once a year events. I like some of the event weekends and I love the daily zmissions and the once a week traveler.

I'd get into pvp more, but the sheer volume of pvp-skill-nazi-elite-no life- A-holes makes me ill. So I avoid pvp for the most part.

So, for me, gw is still a fun game to play once in awhile. Beyond that, its boring as hell.
