I would like to thank A-net for 624 hours and 6 minutes over the last 4 months. I originally bough Prophecies, but really didnt get much into it, but when Factions came out, i decided to give it another try, and for the last 4 months, i've been completly hooked.
I understand that most people prefer Prophecies to Factions, but i just wanted to publicly thank the Factions team, for doing such an amazing game, if it wasnt for Factions, i dont think i would get hooked on Guild Wars.
And thank u as well for making the mesmer, best fun i've remember having in any game, so, please, keep up the good work.

They say they listen to the community, but... something is "lost in translation"..

They're learning as they go, and the game is continually a work in progress -- nothing wrong with that.

You don't get much RL attention do you.

He is kissing ass and this thread is lame.. Guildwars is a pretty good game but it's hands down the most expensive game to play. The reason I got it was because it was free to play online lol.. If I buy nightfall that will be around $30/month so far. yea that's exciting.

All I can really say is it's nice to praise anet, they do good work. However the thread starter just sounds like a kid who's overly excited about the fake life he's about to live in nightfall so I don't look at it with any substance. He'd be excited about anything they do.

Err..can you explain it a bit better? I think i got lost ...

kade · Sep 21, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Great work Anet, I just feel sorry for the Chapter 4 dev team trying to top NightFall...regardless you've continued to best yourselves with each release. Can't wait to see more

I think someone has an issue with his math.

Guildwars + Factions (current prices) = 49.99 + 34.99 = 84.98 (and you don't need to own all the chapters to play the game) for 18 months of play

WoW (current price) 19.99 + (18*12.99) = 253.81

Funny, I could have sworn that $253.81 was triple $84.98.

Even if you add in the cost of nightfall it's still WAY less expensive

Prices were taken from outpost.com

AhuraMazda · Sep 22, 2006, 03:55 AM // 03:55

Despite some of the less fixable, unfortunate aspects of the game, this is still one of the most fun, most compelling, most well constructed games I have played.

Here's to Anet for proving there are still people making original and really quality games, and for no monthly fee.

Props.

Um, OR i think Anet is a very good Company, and i believe i am older then you, and hey, im not gonna lie, Im excited about nightfall, but a life in a game, um sorry, not me. Oh yea , and whats wrong with being thankful?, I would rather be thankful, than and A$$h0le.

I've been playing GuildWars from the first WPE where we still had those ugly capes that showed on your front and back... rly ugly at that time.

It's rly awesome what Anet has accomplished in only 2 years time... at this point this is the only game I am playing, no other game gives me the feeling that GuildWars gives.

ty Anet for a lovly game

Brustow · Sep 22, 2006, 01:47 PM // 13:47

I'll just say this, there has only been a couple games out there, in which I have invested so much time playing. Where I have been willing to sacrifice sleeping, eating, sex, and sanity at the drop of a hat, just so I can keep playing. Guild Wars has been one of those games.

Wtf Its A Monk · Sep 22, 2006, 01:53 PM // 13:53

I think anet is doing a great job myself. In my opinion they have the greatest and most kind staff there is. (i know from experience getting a week long suspension from Gaile which was taken off minutes later, after I apoligized for my actions through my friend) <3 Gaile Gray. Good luck with everything Anet cant wait to get out of school and try out Nightfall. Collectors Edition FTW

Eviance · Sep 22, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Hehe I have to say I pretty much couldn't stand Factions but the new things they have implimented have made life ingame much easier on the player. I'm glad to see that some of the more sensible ideas are being heard and implimented.

Everyone wants something different and you are going to have upset people no matter what you do but right now they seem to be catering to the masses and that's a great thing. I am still holding off on getting Nightfall till there is a general applause and approval though, but it looks so far to be headed in the right dirrection ^_^
GG Anet!

synthjeno · Sep 22, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

Yes well done Anet! Even tho theres been a delay for the preview, you kept in touch with the masses. I could imagine one particular game/developer that wuldve just gone offline for a day or two if this happened (WoW, cough)

Proud to be a Guild Warrer.

Valkyrian · Sep 23, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

Great thread Brokenmonkey... I myself started with Prophecies and was absolutely absorbed by it. Factions was a small let down but it was still a good effort. I just spent a few hours on Nightfall this evening and I am utterly excited and GRATEFUL to Anet for doing such an outstanding job with this new chapter.

Thank you Anet- Valkyrian
