Forget everything you have been conditioned to expect from an MMORPG and enter Guild Wars with an open mind. If you have ever played a game where there were no levels, such as Counterstrike or Quake, then you can get a rough idea of why the level of your character has less to do with the your performance.

I am going to be Test the BWE this weekend of April 15-17...but I have a question about lvling

1.Whats the highest level you can achieve?
2.How long does it take to level?
3.Is there a level restriction for pvp against other players?(If your lvl 13 and another player is level 50 can he fight you)

1 20

2 20-40 hours

3 no

Guild Wars, in contrast, is based around your skill as a player. Our maximum level is twenty, and you hit that very quickly, after about 20-30 hours of play. We call that 'The Point of Ascension'. Almost all of the content in the game and in the future Chapters is only available to Ascended characters, which means we don't have to worry about providing different levels of content. All the good stuff will be available to everyone. It's not our intent to force people onto the levelling up treadmill, so the level cap in Guild Wars is almost meaningless.

1.Whats the highest level you can achieve?
20

2.How long does it take to level?
cca 20-40 hours to level 20

3.Is there a level restriction for pvp against other players?
not realy, but there are some level restricted arenas

1. and 2. are asked a lot, you can find many many threads about this if you want more info.

So what your saying is it's pretty easy to reach lvl 20...and to surpass lvl 20 you have to buy the different expansions once released?

IceD'Bear · Apr 12, 2005, 09:54 PM // 21:54

The level will likely not increase with expansions. There is no need to.

level 20 is it for all time including future chapters as stated.

Joysze · Apr 12, 2005, 09:56 PM // 21:56

You don't have to buy the expansions at all..... the game is going to be capped at level 20, regardless of expansions. The new chapters/expansions will just be more content, new monsters, and new professions.

Azargoth · Apr 12, 2005, 09:56 PM // 21:56

So you pretty much beat the game after lvl 20? whats there to do other than pvp after lvl 20?

I am sorry for this question but I have been let down by a few MMORPG in the past due to being bored after finish lvling (Worlds of Warcraft)

Joysze · Apr 12, 2005, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Well, level 20 is not the end of the game, there are still a majority of the world to explore after level 20. And you DO keep getting skill points, it's just that your level will say 20+ instead of counting upwards.

read what the developer said in my earlier quote.

most of the game is AFTER you reach level 20 (both PVP and PVE)

it is just starting after you get to 20

taking off the training wheels so to speak

Will it be possible to reach lvl 20 in the BWE or is there a limit?

Joysze · Apr 12, 2005, 10:15 PM // 22:15

No limits in the BWE, you can reach 20, although I don't think I've heard of anyone who's gotten there yet in one BWE. It gets harder to level, the higher up you get, more xp needed and all that fun stuff.

I've heard of it. I have gotten to lvl 15 in one BWE, and I don't spend all weekend playing GW, so if you really wanted to you could make it to lvl 20. But why since this is the last beta? You will just have to start new for release.

darkguildmaster · Apr 13, 2005, 01:35 AM // 01:35

ok in every MMORPG i play everyone is stronger then me so im thinging i just pre-owned teh game so do u think ill be in teh top lvs?

Auh · Apr 13, 2005, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Yes. Max level is 20... Doesn't take long to reach it.

spiritofcat · Apr 13, 2005, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Your english is very bad, so I can't exaclty understand what you're asking.
However, I think it is about leveling, the level cap and preordering. All of these topics are clearly addressed in the stickies at the top of the forum.

EDIT: Seems we got moved to the right place while I was posting.

Devil's Dictionary · Apr 13, 2005, 01:39 AM // 01:39

i dont know what he s saying i know that i think he preordered a game without knowing what the game is about because he seems he has no clue about what he is sayin gwehn he says ilek this thx all cu lol

I'd make a wild guess and say he's asking whether he'll be good in GW or not.
