Guild Wars Teasers

OMG put some clothes on!


Those chicks will never last in batttle, yikes.



It is a lovely world with hawt character models.

:eyepop :wow
"That makes me happy in pants"

mmmm...me too

These remind me a lot of the Lineage II models.

Been doing some reading...the website doesn't have just a ton of info on it...Unless I was looking in the wrong place..But I see there is no monthly subscription. This is nice. :) Anyone have any more informational websites bookmarked? I'd like to find out more about this. Sounds like it can be fun.

if you check out their community fan site listings, there are a bunch of sites you can read up on. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to know. I'm almost 15 now on my main char, so not an expert by any means, but know the basics well enough :)

Simple things like Max level for characters?
You can still PvP even if RP toon is made?
Are there many servers to choose from?
They make claim to not be put into as much of an XP grind as other MMO's...for the most part if I understood that correctly.....Is this true?

Are you having fun with it? If so have you played WoW and how does it compare?

How is death handled? Similar to WoW? or XP debt?

Sorry for the many questions, but these are a few just off the top of my head. I will be sure to check out the forums later, as well. :)

Simple things like Max level for characters? As of right now, max level is 20. I've heard some things really don't start getting good until you hit that, but I've also read somewhere that there should be an expansion that will include level increase before the end of the year.

You can still PvP even if RP toon is made? As far as PvP goes, I'm kinda iffy on it. You can create a level 20 pvp char and go play in the arena. You earn things for your pvp char with your rp chars. (kinda foggy on how that works) You can also play in arenas in various towns with your RP char as well, hubby does that now and then for fun.

Are there many servers to choose from? Well, 2? At the beginning, you choose whether you want American/Europeon or Korean. They handle "servers" much differently than what either eq or wow does. The only time you are ever exposed to other players (other than group mates of course) are in the city areas. In those areas, you'll have the option of switching which District number you are in. So if I load in to District 1 and hubby lands in 2, one of us just switches over.

They make claim to not be put into as much of an XP grind as other MMO's...for the most part if I understood that correctly.....Is this true?
Honestly, I've not noticed any kinda grind at all yet. There are quests in each area that are usually fairly easy to do and give good xp. In order to move from one big area to another, you either have to fight your way there one zone at a time, or enter a Mission. These are awesome! You earn xp, get to watch interesting movie clips that include your char interacting with the npc's, and you really feel like you're a part of the game. Granted I can be a sentimental sap at times anyway, but there was a movie sequence where a main npc died and my character called out to him... I teared up lol.

Are you having fun with it? If so have you played WoW and how does it compare? Yeah I played WoW for a while. Highest char I had was my shaman moo cow at 34 or so. I liked WoW okay, but honestly it felt like I was constantly listening to kids even moreso than EQ. That was enough to turn me off quick. Now the only time I have to listen to anyone is when I'm in town selling between quests/missions.

How is death handled? Similar to WoW? or XP debt? Neither, it's something totally different. Say you're out and about, fighting away, and you die. Well, like both WoW and EQ2, you rez back at a graveyard of sorts. Unlike WoW, there is no angel there to make everything all better. Unlike EQ2, you don't have to go back and get your spirit. What you do have to deal with is a bit of negative hp/energy until you've killed enough to get back in the positive. You can only go neg60%, and as soon as you enter a city zone, it goes away. On the positive side, every time you kill a named mob, you get a 2% morale boost up to 10%. That's the opposite of the death penalty and will increase your stats.


There's lots more to this game, some that takes getting used to, some that is just awesome. If you think of another wave of questions, don't be afraid to ask :)

There is going to be a lot of cybering in this game.
