Please answe the following questions, just to please my own curiosity.

1) Were you a beta player. If your answer is "no", you can stop reading.

2) Which beta did you join at? WPE? November, December, January, February, April?

3) Do you like release or beta more?

4) When Guild Wars was finally released, was the game exactly as advertised/ as you imagined it?

5) If not, are you thinking of moving on to other games?

To answer my own questions:

1. Yes.
2. The WPE in october.
3. Beta, obviously.
4. No. I think the game is completely different.
5. Already have.

thaumaturge · Jun 23, 2005, 02:53 AM // 02:53

1) yes

2) Mar

3) release, easily

4) I think they released it too quickly, there are still a lot of things that need reworking but mostly it's good

5) I'm sure they will fix a few things over time, besides I didn't plan on playing GW forever

If you've already moved on, don't post on forums... just do a search for basically everything you said... its all been said before.

Shadowsting · Jun 23, 2005, 03:05 AM // 03:05

No, not a beta player

Kha · Jun 23, 2005, 03:07 AM // 03:07

Three words:

I miss beta.

Corwin_Andros · Jun 23, 2005, 03:10 AM // 03:10

1) Yes
2) March
3) Definitely Release - still need a few bugs worked tho
4) I got exactly what I thought i'd get and more. I Love the game and while I don't play it as much as I did at first, that is due to short attention span...lol I now break it up with reading which I enjoy and a few other games and the summer movie season.

Sledge · Jun 23, 2005, 03:11 AM // 03:11

1 yes

2 the very first one

3 no preference really

4 as with all games there are things i dislike being changed. Aquiring skills now is not somthimg i care for, beta was better. Should only have to capture elites IMO

5 nope, i really like GW even with the changes.

pardon my spelling lol

Ginko · Jun 23, 2005, 03:15 AM // 03:15

1) Yes
2) I joined in the February Beta, I heard of the game during the WPE
3) Community=Beta, Content=Release
4) No, but I love it
5) I might join something for fun, but GW will stay as my primary game

Red Locust · Jun 23, 2005, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Yes, E3 2004, Enjoyed beta more, Somewhat like what I imagined it'd be, I play other games so that I don't burn out on GW like most have.

JjK · Jun 23, 2005, 03:30 AM // 03:30

1) yes

2) very first...

3) beta

4) more so.

5) not anymore, we just gvg'ed the hell out of guildwars

They certainly changed some things moving into retail that they should have done in beta...

undecided atm

1.) Yes

2.) e3 2004

3.) I like them both about the same, but I like them for different reasons. (Betas: More Choices and Options. Release: No Time Constraints and More Content)

4.) Unfortunately, no.

5.) No, but I am playing other games along with Guild Wars.

Zeru · Jun 23, 2005, 03:45 AM // 03:45

Feb bwe I think

The only part that I thought I would get that came with release was good pvp gameplay and no monthly fee. In betas community was amazingly better, pve progression was fun and experimentation rewarded rather than fedex based as of now. Aside from all the obvious pvp flaws now that weren't there then, the amosphere was just way better. But that's nobodys fault, just the general population moving in :-/

If anet fixes pvp up, I'm back. I take periodically long breaks between patches though because there's not much point otherwise.

5. Already have.

1 Yes
2 January
3 Beta
4 No. Big hype for competitive PvP, but where was it/is it?
5 Ive reinstalled UT2k4 and have begun reclaiming what Ive lost from a 6
month absence.

Static · Jun 23, 2005, 03:52 AM // 03:52

1.Yes
2.WPE
3.Release
4.It wasnt advertised as much as i thought it would be. I really thought there would be commercials for it, or a long preview in movie theatres, like for EQ2.
5.The game is great overall and i enjoy it a lot, they probably will fix some minor bugs in the future, so i dont plan on moving on to another games.

LoneDust · Jun 23, 2005, 04:06 AM // 04:06

1 Yes
2 WPE
3 Beta
4 No. But I don't blame arenanet for wanting to make money and make the game appeal to traditional mmorpgers. Simply disappointed. (and obviously won't trust the PR claims blindly anymore.)
5. Slowly

Mister Glue · Jun 23, 2005, 04:07 AM // 04:07

1. Yes.

2. WPE

3. Beta. During that time you couldn't play every single day like I can now; it really helps to get me more excited when I have to wait for something rather than having it every day.

4. Not exactly, of course. But I think it was fairly similar to what I expected it to be. I probably would've changed a few things though.

5. Probably not. I tend to stick to games for way too long once I get hooked on them, and I've been hooked on this game since WPE. I'll probably get tired of it tommorow now that I said that though.

Sarus · Jun 23, 2005, 04:09 AM // 04:09

1) Yes
2) WPE
3) Beta by a Longshot
4) Not at all
5) If something better comes out I'll move

Episodicfreak · Jun 23, 2005, 04:13 AM // 04:13

1) Yuff

2) December.

3) Better experiences towards the end of the betas, although the full game is great

4) Yeah, and more

5) Pah. Never going back to Ragnarok

sino-soviet · Jun 23, 2005, 04:18 AM // 04:18

1) Yes.
2) Novemeber BWE
3) beta by a small margin.
4) Nope.
5) Depends on what the future holds.
