Any of you play/want to play Guild Wars?

It's an MMO in which you don't have to pay every month!

I only own Nightfall, but you can buy all three on Steam for 50$ or separately for 30$ each.

It's required specs are impressively low (Lower than WoW's) for how pretty it looks:

It also has a relatively low level cap. After reaching the level cap, players differentiate their characters by which skills they equip to bring into battle; new skills can be learned by exploring and completing quests, but only eight of a player's learned skills can be equipped at any one time.

A lot of the fun comes from playing with a group, so lets get some people playing this game.

    Played it for a long-ass time, actually. It's really not a bad game at all, I just don't feel like getting all the software again.

    strangely enough I just started playing again a couple days ago!

    edit: if you want to download all the files at once instead of on a zone-by-zone basis you can make another shortcut, and change the command to

    something/something/Guild_Wars.exe" or whatever to
    something/something/Guild_Wars.exe" -image

    it'll download all the patches

    A very mediocre game.

    I've never played with people I even slightly knew

    It would just be people I would meet in the town square who needed another person, so I'd play with them for a bit and it'd be a blast, but then after the quest was over I'd never see them again.

    So I'm very interested to actually play with some of you!

    edit: If we can actually rope people into playing that is.

    I played a bunch of Guild Wars back in the day.

    Sure, I'd be interested.

    It came out before World of Warcraft? I really hate when things are retroactively attributed to being lesser forms of things that came out later on.

    Anyhow, with the ordering aside, those two titles have no real similarities in my experience.

    n...no it didn't, i don't know where you got that from, WoW was released a year earlier in 2004, and was announced way back in 2001.

    guild wars didn't come out until 2005, and was announced in 2003.

    if i had played it first and then played WoW, perhaps i would have called it WoW plus

    they both have you run around and kill things for quests, level up, get new items and gear... i feel like their differences are easier to enumerate than their similarities due to the list being smaller

    Game felt slow, empty and boring to me. Bought it near release, but couldn't get on with it. Which is a shame, because it is pretty.

    Looking for something to play together, my girlfriend and I tried out the original guild wars together a few weeks ago and played to level 15 or so.

    Not a bad game. Feels kind of like a predecessor to WoW in some ways.

    I think the pvp arenas are terrible, though. All the skills make it impossible to tell what's going on during a pvp battle and the battles are too fast for an RPG game, in my opinion. Some of the quests are fun, however, and the skills are neat to toy with.

    So while I enjoyed it, the game world does somehow feel a bit empty at times. Maybe due to the simpler visuals and less detail, maybe due to something else, I'm not sure.

    I played this A LOT when it first came out.

    In fact I was part of KCHS and we eventually became one of the top 10 guilds in the world, or something like that.

    We invented a PvP technique that made the devs patch the game to take it out because we won so much with it that everyone was using it
