Thinking of picking up guild wars, again. - Guild Wars Forums

Hai.

Quite a while ago, I picked up Guild Wars, got a few chars to 20, before switching to play World of Warcraft. At the time I was playing Guild Wars, I was not so much an active player as I am now, I blame this partly for the reason I found Guild Wars not to be as rewarding as WoW, however, since i've played a mage to 60 (played some end game content) and more recently played to 70 to play a little end game content, I find the grind for gear is not as fun nor rewarding as I used to find it.

So, i'm considering installing Guild Wars again, and leveling a fresh character to 20, but before I do, could someone tell me if new PvE content has been added, that requires a good solid team? This is something that makes WoW unique.

Thanks!

i guess one could say the newly added hard mode proves quite a bit off challenge

if ur already familiar with guild wars then i would suggest playing nightfall.

also, there is now quadruple storage for everyone who has all of the expansions.

Well, after 2 years of WoW, I dusted off my copy of Guild Wars Prophecies and started playing. I have all three campaigns now and I never have a lack of something to do. The "grind" is far less than in any other game and whenever I get "tired" of one thing, I have the flexibility of having eight characters across all 3 chapters in various areas.

Once you've beat the game, you can now do hard mode. Vanquish all the areas, work on tons upon tons of titles for your characters, trades, endgame content like DoA (and now DoA in hard, yikes). PvP in HA has changed back to 8 players and has new things like kill count, capture points, and a different HoH playground.

I find it hard to believe that you can really run out of things to do once you reach 20 in Guild Wars, because its all about the content after becoming 20, instead of the grind to getting there.
