The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
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.
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.
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
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.

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

What spring does with the cherry trees.
Sure, I'd be interested.
it just felt like WoW lite but less fun

As in the first one, or just the first three?
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
this times a hundred
I forgot all my account info
Login Names, Passwords, the whole shebang
You also have to remember a character name, now.

I just don't know all the other stuff :?
Well that's easy. Jiggs Casey.
