Anyone playing it?
I will be soon. I am looking forward to it. Unfortunatley the shops near dont stock it so I have to buy online and wait :(
I'm gonna get it with my next paycheck.
I'll be buying this soon.
Mmm. Guild Wars.
Looks pretty neat. I'll probably check it out.
I'm going to buy it on friday.
... /me goes back to playing WoW. :P
Is there a monthly fee? I liked the alpha (beta?) and am considering getting it if there isn't one. However, POTO of course comes first. =)

Where can I purchase Guild Wars?
Guild Wars will be available at your favorite retail location. You will be able to acquire subsequent chapters for Guild Wars via retail stores or direct download.
Link to download: http://www.guildwars.com/downloads/clientdownload.html
I started a character in the BETA weekend awhile ago, some hardcore-shitty caster and his rusty sidekick mercenary. It looked OK when I played it, it seemed a little Diablo 4 to me though.
(Diablo 3 is taken by World of Warcraft)
wtf does that mean?
Probably that he thinks WoW is similar to the Diablo?
I can't wait till friday. I am going to buy it now. brb.
Just created my first characters.
Normal Character: Crazy Kanuk
PvP Character: Krazy Kanuk

Looks like I'll be getting the game, it has received very good reviews from players and fan sites.
Seems to be like a fun game that is worth my money.
Please keep posting about this game. I want to hear the good, the bad and the.... well what ever.
What's the gameplay like, Blaze?

It's pretty straight forward, Hostile.
It's only pretty straight forward? Then why not be 100% straight forward instead of using a dumb analogy and wasting bandwidth by having to explain yourself and wasting our time making us read two (or three) posts instead of one.
You should take your own advice into consideration.
I was well aware that I was being hypocritical when posting that, thanks.

Similiar to WoW, but in my opinion, everything is much smoother and more realalistic looking. All the grass sways in the wind and the Character Modelling is the best I have ever seen. The story starts out pretty slow, but by level 3-5 when you get your second profession, the story changes a lot, then the game really starts. I have been coming home and playing this game as much as I can since Wednesday (When I bought it), and it's really addicative. There are a lot of good players. There is a PvP system, but its like fighting in an arena. My main role playing character is a Ranger and a Necromancer. I can charm animals so they are my pet and help me fight, I can shoot arrows long distances while my pet keeps them from getting to me. There is something called the hall of heros, which is the high high level people battling for international glory. Each time America, Europe, or Asia win, they get closer to "being favored by the gods". Basicly people are fighting for their country to be at the top of the ladder. You can buy dy to colour things, you need materials to make clothes, ect. and its just a great game overall.
My rating 9/10
So it's turned base fighting like wow?

I don't know what you mean by that. In the PvP arena, everyone is fighting in real time.

You know like...final fantasy rpg...select an attack, wait for it to go, or is it hack n slash?
Hack and slash, basically. From my experience during the testing stage, you go the arena thing and you get put onto a team of like four people. You're in this big field area with rocks and whatever, it's not too big but it's big enough and you dual it out. The mages and such generally hang in the back while warriors rush up front.
Thats about it trust. There is strategy to it too, depending on your character and its abilities.
Edit:
Your your ingame viewing pleasure,

Ian, my birthday is on the 24, I'll be buying GW. We will play together :)

Good to here. Now how are the rest of you people coming along?
It's been some time now, it is still fun to play?
Yeah, just I have been busy so I haven't played much more. At the begining their was a lack of story line, now its just flowing like a river, and its actually interesting to see what happens next.
Omg next saturday I get it!
Been playing since last week-ish, "El Penguino" (PvP) or "Drakus Thundertrowe" (PvE). PvP is pretty challenging if you do the random team fights, there is no guarentee your team will have a healer. Also, there is a certain strategy involved - team members can send beacons and directions via minimap allowing them to plan pincer attacks and flanks. You also need someone to call targets so all the tanks can immediately kill off enemy monks and paladins at the onset of the fight. The 4 team free for all battles at the Hall of Heroes are especiailly perilous, if you attack too little you run the risk of allowing teams to heal after a battle with another team - whereas if you attack too much you run the risk of allowing a team that's been sitting back waiting to swoop in and knock you out after a vicous battle. Ive seen allied guilds team up against the other two teams and then take turns winning.
Oh, and if anyone's remotely interested, I'm selling the following:
- Bow Grip of Defense, Adds 4 defense to Bow (40gp)
- Elementalists Rune of Minor Earth Magic, Increases Earth Magic by 1 when added to a piece of armor (125gp)
- Cruel Sword Hilt, Lengthens deep wound duration (100gp)
I'll probably get it today.

Is gp hard to get?
If gp is gold then not really.
I'll buy the def+4 btw. Friends Me, Crazy Kanuk.
I have 28 gp on your account Ian, lol.
I'm going to wait a week and get the collectors edition I think.
Im waiting till after my exams.
Yeah, that's one reason I want to wait. We have SOLs (Standards of Learning, State Standardized Tests) this week and next. Now, I only have two tests to take but I really need to do a lot of reviewing for Chemistry. My teacher said (I don't know if was joking though) that if I get Pass Advanced he'll add 10 points to my grade. So, I'll either get it next week or in two weeks.

No one will spend 50 bucks :P only 20 from friends.
Hey
I've got this game now.
I started an Elementalist..he's just reaching level 4. Going to get another profession as a necromancer soon.
We're starting a guild (3 of us atm) if anyone is interested.
Traitors!

I hate wow. I didn't buy GW. I bought a PS2 and some good games, stuff for my PSP, new dirt bike.
I'm glad I didn't buy it, playing it for 2ish days on Blaze's account was enough.
I like it, but it is quite hard. Still enjoyable.

Same, Final Fantasy IX is way better :)
I downloaded the client, how do i get an access key? I dont want to buy it :P
Borrow an account from a friend?
An account? I need an access key. Anybody got one free for me please? PM if you have.
All you need is an account to play.
It says "Access an account key".
Why would anyon give you their key?
Got buy it, it's $50. The game is better IMO then wow, and theres no monthly fees.
quit trying to mooch off others.
~-~(HDX)~-~
Not their actual one, but maybe a spare? Well if you get one spare or find one, give me a shout!
Me too ;D
omg are you fucking retarted, everyone told you buy the game or share with someone. who is going to give you 50 bucks for free?
No im not retarded. But i searched google, alot of sites gave 10 away, and i was to late. So shut up.
well then keep searching. this forum doesn't support warez
Oh damn. I found a key but its invalid. Not fair.

Maybe you would be interested in trading for it?
http://www.isohunt.com/ navigate to the forums, go to the forums that are Personal CDKey Trade Lists or something like that..I traded my cs1.6 + cs:cz steam account for guild wars, worked out pretty well.
I would have stayed with the CS account. GW is fun though..
What guilds are yall in? ( to all the people i know, and i dont [ the people who play ] )
im in BoD Brothers Of Defence some shit like that, lvl 7 Mesmer/Ranger My only character.
Got any blue dragons? (sorry... obligatory)
...?
Hey boys. If you want, I can send all of you invites to RAF, it's a dev guild that's been founded a year ago by programmers of Anet. We'll be glad to see all of vL members as a part of our guild, I can also give guild officer status for some of the old vL members I know (like Adron). If you're interested, whisper me inside the game (the nickname is Alpha Tester) or drop a reply here.
"Cheaters, unite!" ;D
Do any of you actually play this game, guys? No replies so far... ::)
What's Anet?
OFFTOPIC: Newby, not more retarded signatures!
ONTOPIC: I'm debating on whether or not to buy Guild Wars, if I do I'd certainly be interested in joining whatever clanish/guild thing comes my way. Is it worth the buy?
Lol, RAF is not a "whatever" guild. It looks like no one plays - point taken.
I might be able to try it if someone comes through for me with a CD key they promised. :D
Yes, Im in [OPK] On Point Kings.
My names are:
Magen Fireblade
Sara Fireblade
Kittrena Fireblade
If anyone wants to game some time, PM me.
~-~(HDX)~-~
I would join, not now though. Im building my computer, and i dont have a comp atm, hold a spot for meee :-).
I ordered the game today so I should have it next week. It should be fun.
On a separate note; I merged all the Guild Wars topics, stop making new ones!
I made a guild called Titan Warriors, if any of you would like to join you can msg me, my main GW name is Sik Rus.
I also have a question, where can I find a list item types (colors) like blue, purple etc...?
Show your character off
This is my Warrior in Pre-Searing lvl 8

Haha, why is your UI all jacked up?
The Chat is usually above my spells but I moved it so you could see my guy. I set it up like that so I could see everything, and so I can easily use everything.

Before doing all that maybe you should convert them to gif's or jpg's.
:) I'm big fan of GW, been playing it since the day it came out and the beta weekend before that. I already won the game with two characters and haven't been playing much PvE lately, just PvP with my guild. Monk is my primary character (My Heal Other spell heals for 300+ hit points ;D) but I also have an elementalist... If anyone has questions concerning game play, or monk builds :P, ask away.

I had a feeling I was being followed by magical icicle men I turn around and sure enough there they were all 50 of them.

And then they were joined by some angry crab looking things, I think my guy started running a bit faster w/o any buffs.

Maybe so they'll quit following you duh
Tey did after I ran into a town.
They didn't run away, they were deleted. ::)
Yeah, unless someone in your party is still in that area.
I'll post some funny ass screenshots...soon..

Character name is Vertindle Draganov
Is it worth buying?
It depends on what kind of games you like. :P Personally I think it's kind of boring.
Looks like I'm not buying it.
Try the PvP.
It owns.
