not THAT long.. rofl... if 10 hours is 1% .. then 100% must be 1000 hours

1000 hours of PVE?.. sorry, but there just isnt that kind of content.

Going through the game completly with 4 different characters can be done in a relaxed 300 hours.

Truth is, you have to get into PVP very quickly if Guildwars is going to be a long term game.. PVP is what keeps us addicted.

I dont PvP(have no plans to either) & yet I have over 1000(1865 to be exact) hours of PvE. I've been playing since release & I play PvE everyday & I love it! So I would have to disagree with your comment about there not being enough PvE content. GW is what you make it.

I think the OP is in for one hell of a good time if pre-searing is the best game ever. ^^ It only gets better. Enjoy.
until you get to Lions Arch and the entire game starts falling apart....

That's being generous. I'd say the game crumbles as soon as you step into Lakeside County. Well, at least it picks up some fifty hours later, at the Deldrimor War Camp. Unless you're strictly talking about where the plot rather than the gameplay goes to hell, in which case you're about right.

The game is fine for a first play-through, and for some people that first play-through takes many months. Definitely your money's worth if you're interested in PvE.

After about 3 weeks though I found myself wanting to head to the Tombs and take on someone who would actually pose a challenge. So here I am to attest to the way GW's has called me back. Thank you A-net for one of the best games that I've ever played.
Not to take it off-topic too much, but how did your friends fare with GW?

Correction, PvP is what keeps you addicted. I hardly ever touch the stuff myself.

I've played plenty, and pretty much all of them were single player games. I don't play this game for experiencing the plot on my own. I play it with friends, enjoying the mechanics and character building diversity and generally having a good time together. Lack of a decent plot doesn't hurt us one bit, and as Teufel indicated, for some the game remains fun even after several replays.

Try putting the cd-key from the full version of the game in to your current account. Then install the cd to download all the files to your hard drive (less downloading in the long run as you enter new area's). Did anything come from the 10 trial that mention what to do if you get the game?

And a very warm welcome to Guild Wars & Guild Wars Guru Forums

Im betting that he already has the client, much like in beta. Doubtfull he need to download or even load the game content agin.

Just wanted to echo the welcome to Guild Wars and Guild Wars Guru! Despite everything, Guild Wars is still the first game that grabbed my interest and love (enough for me to become a forum lurker and contributor), and still does. Enjoy your stay!

all my friends are using the 10 hour acounts , they work , most of them fell in love with the game also , and are buying it ... i think they should put the 10 hours acount on affcial page forever ... its perfect for try outs ... and not much use for farmers-ebayers etc , so i dont see why not ...
if they get out of presearing , it will not be long to the 10 hours to be over , only if someone would rush them , but who will rush a complete unknown newbie with no gold ... hehe

welcome to guildwars

I to played WoW for awhile and realized it is a good game, but I just love GW. Im new to and have yet to complete my first character, hes currently 18 R/Mo. I been gettin sidetracked with random arena and pvp chars lol.

My only problem is I havent found a good guild worth stayin in. I take PvP very seriously and no guild I have had the opportunity to join is as serious as me about it. Thats my only gripe about the game, but then again thats not the games fault.

So if you have a serious PvP guild whose helpful, fun, and nice. Then send me a tell. Oh yea, and uses teamspeak.

P.S ArenaNET are the best people you can ask for dev-wise. They are very responsive to their players and care more then any dev team I've seen.
