HI

I have been playing gw for 30 months now, and i must say lately (past 2 months) gw has been nothing but a beautiful chat program. I havent done anyting pve/pvp related in about 2 weeks. All i do is log in, and chat with the guild and alliance. I have run out of stuff to do, and i hate grinding so title farming is out of the question.

Anyone else like this?

Yes, for about the last year

keli · Nov 21, 2007, 04:08 PM // 16:08

well, i dont i still enjoy the game itself

I'd rather use Teamspeak or Ventrilo for chatting, really.

Me me! Have two computers on my desk, one for general use (web, irc, aim, work, etc) and one that's *just* for guildwars. Literally all that's on it right now is GW, Opera and photoshop. And a lot of the time I just use GW as a glorified IRC channel with something pretty to look at ^_^ I still get my fair share of playtime in there though too.

Just with my brother who lives on the other side of the country.

I would but all my friends have made space for TF2. Upgrade hardrives imo.

Yup same here. Its a very nice chat program i have to say :P

Not now, but a while back for a couple of months, I'd just log in and sit in the guild hall chatting to people then log out.

Joshthor · Nov 21, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

I do sometimes, but last time i got stuck on just that i ended up quitting for like 2 months, but now im back in and i mainly play and chat with my alliance while farming/questing/missions/justkillingthingstogetmypoopsandgiggles

I agree, Ventrilo is wonderful for chatting, I use it daily.

But of course I still play the game, and chat in-game. I wouldn't say that GW is a really good chat system. No video or picture sending

if you use it just for chatting with friends, i'd be careful. There have been cases hashed out here where 2 friends having private conversations have received bans for using inappropriate language........despite it being all in fun and between 2 people only, it was quite a fiasco

edit: the moral of the story is that anet scans all chat logs no matter how they are held and autobans people

Cookie Ruler · Nov 21, 2007, 05:10 PM // 17:10

I kind of chat active with everybody willing to chat while I'm PvPing. :P

Brianna · Nov 21, 2007, 05:15 PM // 17:15

Been a good chat program for 2 years now, I'd quit if I had no one to talk to.

*Raises hand*

When my interest in the game is on the wane it makes a very pretty chat program. Nice background music too.

That's... disturbing.

Yeah, sometimes i'll be stood in my gh.. send a PM.

...

1 hour later i think to myself "wtf am i still standing here for?!", then attempt to do something active but fail. Or i'll be in the middle of a mob, then just drop my weapons and start chatting. One good reason why i don't monk

Yeah, it is a chat program, it just isn't even very good at that either.

Yes this is just what guildwars needs to be. A way to send pics and video. This way instead of a pm from some random 14 year old horny prick, i can be bothered being asked for pics or a vid of me naked all day... and all this because my character in the game is female...
