So based on the moderate interest in MMORPGs gained by the WoW crew and the fact that GW seems to fit the bill for a newbs first foray into these games I'm thinking about putting together a group to play it. From what I understand I think its mostly 30 mans instanced questing so I want to see what kind of interest there is in people returning to this game or trying it out. I think we should start with the base game and go from there. If there is enough people to make a BRBU guild of good-for-nothings I'd be willing to run out and spend some of my gift card money on 2 copies for me and my wife.
I was also hoping to pull some of the oldies that left for similar type games like Kor, VD, and ainmosni. So if there is any way to rope you guys in let me know.
Ehhh....set a date and I'll see what I can do. I'm only doing this because others are doing it. :-[

Be a man and make your own decisions!

You can get the client there, also I have no idea about the server. I was kind of hoping someone that's played would pop in and lead us.
why would we play on a private server, the regular game servers worked just fine
I spent $70 bucks on WoW, I'm going to make it a worthwhile investment. See you in 87 days.
I have the the base game(Prophecies) and I also have Factions. Gimme a time and a date and I'll be glad to help walk you guys through what I know
Also the biggest instance groups get is about 8 or so(for the base game atleast iono about the others).
holy 20,000 files to download on first run.
They download faster than WoW's patches!
I'll get the base game reinstalled later tonight if it's not on my other partition. (reformatted my C: drive recently just for convenience sake)
Interesting. I'll reinstall GW Base and lurn 2 play again.Â
Eeehhhhuuhhh... are we going to be doing PvE or PvP? I'd like to PvE 'cause I couldn't do jack shit right in GW PvP. Not that I tried much.
Oh joy, here come's WoW's "competition."
I'll join

I kicked ass as a healer in PvP, I think i had a group of randoms go like 10 wins in a row back in the day.
So...when exactly are we doing this? I'm not digging out any money, so I'll probably just be playing trial. That gonna work with y'all?

every day
-edit- finally down to 4,000 files!
IIRC, guildwars likes to wait til you enter a new zone to download its files...

I gravitated towards healer in FF11, but I haven't messed with it much in GW. I like to play Warrior / Mesmer. I thought that was a nice combo.

[/quote]after the first zone it cuts down in download speed quite a bit
I have a necro/elementalist that can run people through fairly quick, and a warrior/ranger or ranger/warrior can't remember, if we all want to be on the same level
if we just make PvP characters they start at 20

yes, but pvp characters are useless if you haven't played PvE. all the skills for pvp characters you get through playing PvE, and you're going to get raped if you don't have some elite skills (refer to
guildwiki for more info.)
