Something Great About GW That I Never Even Noticed

I can't even think of any other game, MMO or otherwise, that has this.

There are no stupid, annoying, self-important logos of every company involved in the project that you have to click through in the beginning. Double click the shortcut, login screen BANG. Until now the sheer greatness of this streamlined process had only registered with me on a subconscious level.

Thanks ANet. Every game should have this.

You know, Darren, that is a GREAT observation! I never gave that any thought but you are absolutely right!

Kudos once again to Anet!

I noticed short load times more. Compared to other games, starting GW is fast, less than a minute(unless you're slow typing person and have problems with you password ) and you're in(and *much* shorter if you're just re-login. But yeah, that's thanks to lack of logos as well.

Haha, you're right! So true. Valve could learn from that.

RUNESCAPE HAS NO LOGOS in game? RUNESCAPE THE BEST GAME SINCE SUCK GAMES

Yeah, to say nothing of the real asshole games that don't even let you skip through them. FOX Interactive comes to mind...

Will the source code from GW ever be released? NO. WILL THERE BE MODS? NO! IS HL worth it? YES!

Wow, you're right.

Funny, I've been playing sine the first beta event too. Always sighed everytime I started EQ or WoW, takes forever to get to character selecet...

Nice touch Anet.

The short load/exit times are great for me, since I log in and out for short periods several times a day.

Definitely a smart move on Anet's part.



\n

WoW starts up fast for me. Exiting is just one extra click.

i love Anets start up sign in especially when it says your account has been banned for illegal bot use.............i have never had this problem but its one of my favorites. Anet is like Purell hand sanitizer "Keeping it clean"

woot woot

Hey, yeah, I never really thought about that but it's true! Thanks, ANet!

HEY! My password is 17 characters, a mixture of numbers, letters and symbols and an occasional capital letter! I mess it up everytime...unless I type it slow...wtf...why is my password so big?

Heh, it's true! I hadn't noticed either, but when I stop and think, you're right, there's no whooosh... nVidia.... or EA Games... Challenge .. Everything.
It makes for a pleasant change.


Vilaptca, passwords in GW can only be 15 characters long. I know this because my password was going to be more, but it got stopped at 15 characters.

It's the little things that matter the most

I personally can't think of another game where you click through ads or other company logos to log in... Mind enlightening me?

well as mentioned above if you have ever played any game created by blizzard (starcraft, diablo 2) or EA (sports, simcity) or almost any other company you have see it... half the time i get bored of the game before its done loading the title screen

I never really put thought into the fact that this game starts up in like 3 seconds (when i dont have to install and patches) Anet really is great, and i love the quick close down too, some of my other games take 2-3 minutes just to shut down... Thanks Anet

I never noticed anything like that on starcraft, but its not really Anet, more NCsoft I'd say if you played Lineage II its the same thing: nearly instant load into the log in screen.

Hey, that's actually a really good observation. Good call Darren.

Also, it took me about twice as long to realize that I could just hit escape and skip the valve logos and whatnot as it took me to beat HL2. It was still only about 3 days, but still... -_-

Nope, I log in everyday with 17. Not sure how or why? I've had this account since beta, so maybe the 15 limit was added later.
