I probably could finish all the missions and get to level 20 in a couple of days, but in fact I'm unlikely to do either within the first month. It'll be nice to play when it's not a 3 day event. It'll be nice not to have to rush, to squeeze everything into so short a time... to have all the time in the world to do things...

Well i guess i go at medium pace, i did all the missions once with people and once with the 'silent friends' henchman, so i made it to Lions Arch and level 13 in the march BWE, i also saw no point staying in pre-searing for too long and went in the academy at level 4 upon exploring all of Pre-searing, i guess i didnt want to get to know and love it too much because of the shock the searing has, get to attached to pre-searing then you'll cry when the searing happens!

Hehe, I know quite a few people who still act like huge beginners even at level 20. I might actually even be one of them.

But like Dreamsmith said.. the level grind for GW is so little that sure.. you'd have two days of being at the top. After those first couple of days though, people will be catching up extremely fast. You'll be on an equalized field pretty soon, and well.. the only telling thing that will make anyone stand out is either combat skill (example, Fianna), or.. as I've been seeing in the BWEs, forum fame.

You'd be surprised at how many famous forum people I've seen around..

It was my understanding, that on release day all characters will be reset. A clean slate. The only thing that will remain of the Beta characters is the option to re-use their names. That includes any guilds that were created during Beta also. This was to give new players a even chance to play the game without having all these Uber Toons running around. Please do correct me if my information is wrong. Belive me, I will miss my W/R if this reset happens, but also, it will give me a chance to build her the way the Gods intended. Without her current (minor) flaws.

Loviatar · Mar 24, 2005, 01:57 AM // 01:57

the character and name will be kept but reste to starting level and starting equipment

Well, you have to work your way through the missions, eventually once you do Nolani Academy, you unlock The Shiverpeaks (i think thats there name) there work through the 3/4 missions till it takes you to Gates of Kryta (very hard mission) once you complete the Gates of Kryta it takes you to Lions Arch, i hope this helps. Also i reccomend being atleast level 12 or higher when trying to beat Gates of Kryta, I was level 13 and failed atleast 10 times.

Yeah, thats the idea of Beta's work out what cahracter build you want and what flaws come up, so that when Release comes you know what flaws to look out for.

This brings up an interesting issue.

Whatever happened to ArenaNet's claim that the game would be shipped and/or launched WORLDWIDE on the same day?

it is possible they will not make it and leave some people scrambling for a net store that will get it to them

i honestly think they are trying their best

Ruins of Surmia, complete ruins of surmia and it will take you to nolani academy, after that its yaks Bend, then something pass, then frozen gate, that will take you to gates of kryta after gates of kryta its Lions arch. Hope that helps

Really its a breeze from Ruins of surmia to Gates of Kryta is very easy, but then it gets very hard.

and where may i ask is ruins of surmia?
should it be on my map?
because it isn't
what is before it just to be sure?

Mumblyfish · Mar 24, 2005, 11:16 PM // 23:16

Before the Ruins of Surmia, you get dropped off at an outpost. I believe it is called Frontier Gate. There are two NPCs here; a religious nutjob and an officer-type. Talk to the officer and he'll tell you Rurik has headed to the Ruins of Surmia, which lies north-west of Frontier Gate. Simply pick up some henchmen if you aren't confident in your soloing ability, and head out. You'll find signposts along the way, if you ever get lost.

If you ever get stuck, it's because you haven't talked to the NPCs.

in the words of a side actor from invader zim,
"Oh thank you superior being!"
i usually talked to the monk and i had not been looking for the officer
