Hello to all in the land of GW. I am a player of FFXI and I am happy with it. A friend of mine toldme about Guild Wars. I must say there are thingsfrom both games that I enjoy and hate. But i am very pleased with this game and AM looking forward to seeing alot of you on.

iza · May 01, 2005, 08:09 PM // 20:09

I was wondering; do you gain more experience when adventuring alone than with a party?

hothead2 · May 01, 2005, 10:39 PM // 22:39

are these all the skills i can get before i go off to war? Professions are primary ranger, secondary elementalist. I have tried looking for new trainers but all the npc's point me to people I have already been to.

Can an identification kit be used more than once?

Is there another (less expensive) way of identifying items??

Waterchan · May 02, 2005, 01:32 AM // 01:32

I quit World of Warcraft because its endgame content was unfriendly, almost hostile, to non-hardcore gamers.

How is GW's endgame PvE content? Is there anything interesting to do PvE-wise after you hit level 20? Are there large-scale "raid" encounters, as well as challenging missions for smaller parties?

Difficulty isn't what I'm worried about. Endgame content is supposed to be very challenging. But there's a difference between difficulty and accessibility. An epic endgame loot that requires 40 people to just reach, and relies on rolling the dice higher than everybody else on a 1% drop chance item has little to do with skill. PvP is great, I'm sure, but I also hope that there's a lot to sustain the player past level 20.

Hello players!

I've been looking at Guild Wars for about 24 hours now, and everything about it thrills me. I do, however, have one proviso: do those of us unlucky enough to still be stuck on a dial-up connection see a noticable lag in performance and playtime? After reading all the stuff about real time streaming and level downloading, this is a little disheartening. The site said that it didn't make a difference, but I wanted to get some feedback from some who have dial up and play.

Thanks!

jaythespacehound · May 02, 2005, 08:56 AM // 08:56

ID kits can be used 25 times.
As for 56k, a friend of mine plays on it and no lag whatsoever.
New files get downloaded before you play so you may have to wait a bit longer while it is updating but there is no noticeable lag when you're in.

EDIT: Oh, and you're missing a few ranger skills....Seek out Aiden

If you are talking about guild capes, then you don't need any material. Just enough gold to cover whatever cost it is (last count it was 2 platinum or 2000 gold).

Hello, I'm new to these forum.
Erm, anyway, I am interested in buying GW but would like to know how is it possible to download it (the Official Website gives the option for this). I mean, I dont understand how to get an access key (I'm sure you have to purchase it with a credit card, but I didnt see how).

Thanks in advance.

Deann Lynn · May 02, 2005, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Hi, new to GW, had some WoW friends refer me over. Really like it so far but have reached a little point of frustration.. How the devil do you get into the academy to explore the rest of the world?

I see those closed gates mocking me daily

Mnoche · May 02, 2005, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Please forgive my stupidity, RPG gaming is somewhat new to me. I enjoy it, but I get frustrated with 'not knowing".

Does anyone know of a link or anything that will assist a new RPG player? (or in particular with GW)... I make myself crazy trying to understand upgrading armor, weapons, spells etc. Thanks for any help.

kaloo · May 03, 2005, 12:30 AM // 00:30

Where is rte keyt in the registered edition. I just got it today, and I wanted to know,,, I looked all over...

subbob · May 03, 2005, 12:39 AM // 00:39

Any former (or current) Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) players here?

I am considering purchasing Guild Wars to replace the SWG I"ll no longer be playing.

I am interested in a contrast/comparison of Guild Wars vs. SWG. I realize that there's no crafting and/or player economy in Guild Wars. I'm more interested in the basic gameplay and combat system aspects.

After completing certain amount of quests, speak to Sir Tydus, near the academy gates. He will say something like "Are you ready to go? You will leave everything behind, etc, etc." And if you chose yes, then you will proceede to the real part of the game, which I won't spoil for you.

Great thanks will keep checking in with him then!

Ok I'm a n00b to all this. Just got the game wandered about a bit, danced a little. But I have to say I am really excited about the game, just need to get my bearings.
One dumb question , what happens if you get killed? My kids want to play but you only get four charicters for now, so do I buy another game just to add an account?
Thanx in advance.

Iloveorcs · May 03, 2005, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Thanx in advance.

You get a temporary 15% death penalty (15% less max health and energy) that you can work off as long as you are in that instance. It will be gone/resetted if you leave the area. If you are killed in a mission then you would have to restart; if you are killed in explorable areas you would be ressurected at the nearest rez point in that zone. Do a search for more detailed explanations.

You get 4 character slots and guild membership, friendlist, and storage are account based so you may want to get another copy for your kids if you don't want them to share these.
