Hello, im new here ;]

Hanging Man · Mar 15, 2009, 08:57 PM // 20:57

alot more than 500 people play GW
i am not sure of the exact amount, but there is a fine number of people who play

iVendetta · Mar 15, 2009, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Well above 500.

zling · Mar 15, 2009, 09:03 PM // 21:03

even now, after almost 4 years there are way over 500 people playing this game. don't have an exact number but an estimation will be tens of thousands, was even more back in the "good old days".

oh and don't worry, even after such a long time there are still new players that come in regularly, just like yourself, so it's not like everyone is already level 20 and you'll be stuck with nobody to do beginner quests and missions with.

Last i remember, the count was around 5 million accounts created. But there are probably more than that now.

MaiYun · Mar 15, 2009, 09:14 PM // 21:14

i dont asking how many account are there.. ;];]
i asking how many people still play

BTW Thanks All

I think around 1 million or a little above that. But there is a pretty large population in game, just go to a major city.

Bong Bro Zac · Mar 15, 2009, 10:01 PM // 22:01

its still a fairly popular game... even new guys will not have a hard time finding parties for missions at peak play times and the weekends. lol just be ready for it to take control of your life :P

MaiYun · Mar 15, 2009, 10:15 PM // 22:15

which one you preffer? Faction or Nightfall?
and I want play elemental .. which second class you preffer.. btw i want PVP build xD

Bong Bro Zac · Mar 15, 2009, 10:22 PM // 22:22

PvP=factions
PvE=NF
heros are NF and EotN only and they are almost a necessity in PvE

Commander Ryker · Mar 15, 2009, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Go here for which chapter people prefer and go here to read about pvp. Do not ask for a build there, they will close your thread. Look around find some. There are plenty.

As far as a second profession, you might just want to start out with monk, that way you can at least heal yourself. You can always change it later in the game.

Yeah, more than 500 people play.

You can get a killer deal at newegg.com currently: Prophecies, Factions, and EoTN for $23 shipped. Nightfall isn't there but you can get that one later.

I'd say only go Monk if you don't like the heals that your profession has.

I think they actually said something about 2-3 million mark being reached. But i'd have to say there have as many if not less...or more player than WoW.

When the canthan new year was celebrated, the first city there was crowded with people.
