Hi!

There is a new game coming out on April 28th (I think) called Guild Wars. It looks so good IMO. Its an MMORPG with NO SUBSCRIPTION FEE! There is over 750 skills for each class, and of course, each character can be two classes. Furthermore, unlike other RPG's you can destroy pretty much anything (I think) e.g. You can destroy bridges which people need to use!

Was anyone thinking about getting this? Ive already pre-ordered the Special Edition which comes with a Logitech headset, 3 months teamspeak, artbook, soundtrack and an in-game item which I like to call "t3h sh1ne!!1"



www.guildwars.com for more info

[Edit] Sorry, more like 150 skills each class :o Ooops

Just for clarification darkskye, and so you don't confuse people if you're talking in-game:

Runes are armor upgrades.

Weapon upgrades are usually just called weapon upgrades or mods.

Dark, you'll have to use an Expert Salvage Kit on the Fiery Longbow of Defense, in order to get a piece of it back. The only bad thing is that you'll only get the rune (and there's a chance you won't get anything back at all besides normal salvage materials) for one or the other of the special abilities on the bow. You might get the Fiery aspect of it or the Defense aspect of it. If there's another way to do it, I'm unknown to it, but with that, you at least get shot of getting the upgrade back. Hope this helps!


I guessed that would be the case, but those things don't come cheap! I do know where someone is selling them tho, so I'll wander around for a bit and kill things for the money.

Its a bit of a bummer I'll not get both runes but I can always (eventually) buy the missing one.

ahh actually dunno why i chose that E/Me :P
probably because i played as a Me/Mo and really felt that im not into healing - i just damaged everyone from range :) i really liked all those DoDs, weird enchantments and stuff like that of the mesmer so im trying it with elementalist this time :)
btw i really hate people who are like 'omg why dont you heal! you are monk! omg heal u fag'
or 'bah the healer left - no point in continueing this mission'.

Well, well. After months of absence, I'm getting back into Guild Wars. To be honest, I think the break really helped me; I was getting kind of frustrated with everybody I knew-- including the friend who only started about two weeks before I started playing less-- get way ahead of me, both in levels and in missions. But now I'm back, I'm not really measuring myself up against anyone, and it is fun once more. I'm in the Maguuma jungle right now.

I said this way earlier on the thread, but it's worth repeating: You can add Trad Redav to your friends list if you really feel like it, but 70% of the time I'll be on Tresci Psirot. 20% might be running the arena circuit with Alcydei Ilcid, and 10% might be working on getting my secondary character, Alkida Ildaek, out of pre-searing. (Yes, this character was made about the same time as Tresci, but I've used Tresci almost exclusively of my PvE chars, so the others haven't gotten very far.)
And because I'm bored and feel like stating the obvious, if you whisper me, do tell me you're from the JA.

Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day...

Yay for guild wars!
I never tried WoW or any of the others out there and I love GW :)

I'm currently a Lvl 11 Ranger/EleMENTAList by the name of Darcio Ambar .. which, If i remember (I can't find the page where I found the meanings of names anymore), is Arabic for Dark Sky :D

I'm currently on the path of the Pyromancer (I don't know if its an official path but its what I call it!) learning all the fire magic I can and only picking up other elements by accident doing quests.

Currently I'm trying to find a way to break down weapons so I can upgrade my new Shortbow with the upgrades from my low level 'Fiery Longbow of Defence' and possibly combining it with my Charr-bane longbow while I'm wandering around Ascalon and its near by areas.

Eh, the 9/29 update didn't affect my Mesmer that much. The only two skills I used out of the "nerfs" were Energy Tap and Diversion. Energy Tap is still okay, and Diversion might be worse, but I only have reason to use that in PvP to ruin the lives of Warriors.

Mesmers are really fun to play, and that's the profession my character got that I beat the game with. Though, with an E/Me, I suppose you'll primary use mesmer for stealing energy though?

And, yes I could probably walk... But... That's much work :p

w00t Guild Wars!!!!

I'm a W/E level four, name of Kouen Akechi. I usually play on the International District, because more peeps are usually there ;).

Let's all hook up sometime :D.

Love the game, even though I'm not very far in. It rocks!! :P

(PS: Guild Wars is NOT an MMO. It's a CORPG. Competitive Online Role Playing Game. You don't even need to spend time levelling up, you can dive into PvP if you so wish, but roleplay characters are more fun. It's all skill based. And everyone seems to be more skilled than me :eek:.)
