World of Warcraft and Guild Wars

Filipe · Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2005 2:50 am Post subject: World of Warcraft and Guild Wars

Ok well sitting here I have not personally seen any topic on it so I decided heck why not bring it up and see if anyone else besides yours truly play it. I have been playing both for a few months now at a PC station when I get the chance and I have managed to bring my main character up to level twenty, on World of Warcraft. Yes I know it isnt much when the max level for any character is level sixty, but im happy with where I am right now. I personally think it is at least a fair good mmorpg considering how much detail has been added to the game. I like it so I was just wondering if anyone else on the forum plays World of Warcraft too.

As far as Guild Wars goes i have only been playing the game for about a week and a half now and I am only on level six with my main character. I am working on that right now and who knows maybe at some point soon I will get even farther into the game. Anyways the question again goes to anyone reading this. So just sparking some more conversation so feel free to respond if you wish.

I play Guild Wars pretty often. My main character is a 20 w/mo. Other than that all my other levels are kinda mid-rangish. I have a 10 n/me, a 12 mo/me, and a 8 ele/something. It's really rather easy to level up in Guild Wars so I find it disappointing that the max level is 20 and you really don't have to train for it if you go all the way to amnoon and then ascend at around level 5...which might actually be more work but it would be cool.

I like them both but I am only playing Guild Wars right now. I have a level 20 elementlist/Necromancer that basically wreaks havok on everything. And I too am slightly disappointed that the max level is only 20 because now that I'm there I've gotten really bored with the game and kinda have stopped playing for the most part. It also doesn't help that I'm a solo player who rarely has any sort of group to play with.

I have not played either, but I have a friend whose obsession with WOW is beyond funny anymore. 12-15 hours a day when he can. Last I heard, he had 2 characters at level 60, and that was a month ago. A month of doing nothing but playing WOW and the necessities.

Main reason I don't play wow is because you have to pay every month.

Guild Wars has free online play. I can't say the same for World of Warcraft, though... I know lots of people that like it, but they're all online friends who don't talk about it too much, so I don't know if it's one of those monthly things. (It probably is.)

ANYWAY, my friends in person keep trying to convince me to try out Guild Wars... I'm begining to wonder if it's some kinda cult thing, where they suck you in, and you lose your life, or some crap... I dunno. :|

So yeah, I'd just be happy not playing any online games for now. There are enough games out there that I'd like to try and play, as well as anime that I need to catch up on so, needless to say, I can actually stop consuming goods and begin to enjoy the ones I have now, which is funny because that goes against American culture to just enjoy what you have. It's always buy, buy, buy, so I'm glad to say that I can be different from other people and just enjoy what I have. Being different is fun. (Yeah, I know I threw in a nice run-on sentence in there. My High School English teacher would be irked, I'm sure :P)

And no, I'm not going to play Guild Wars for a while, if at all. I shall not cave in to peer pressure! :shock:

*once again, cut for pointless rambling...*

Anyways to answer someones question from before yes World of Warcraft is pay to play and you do pay every month unless you do like me and buy playcards. They are somewhat cheaper than the subscription considering you get two months of play for probably a little bit less than it costs for two months seperate. Overall it's a good game for those interested in games played much like say an Everquest or a Final Fantasy eleven.

Seriously Filipe I would like to buy Guild Wars and A suikoden guild would probably speed things up, but can it be done?

Never played WoW (won't plan on it probably). I own Guild Wars and am playing with a level 9 Warrior/Elementalist named Ashton Dragoon. I haven't been playing lately though...(haven't been playing for three weeks). If anyone wants to play with me you know my name now. :)

Played City of Heroes - good fun but gets old pretty fast

Played Lineage ][ - became my obsession for a year and a half, I couldn't finish Suikoden IV because I was online so much. It truly stole my life away. Brilliant game but oh so slow and an insane economy.

Tried WoW - didn't like it ( too cartoony combat seemed awkward )

Tried EQ2 - didn't like it ( characters ugly and combat awkward )

Never tried Guild Wars - I'm done with MMORPGs for now

Well perhaps next time I put in some time on Guild Wars I will be sure to look you up Genome Soldier. I am around level twelve or thirteen i dont really remember been awhile since i last played. Of course it can be done Sinocard but the only thing stopping us is a lack of membership in a possible guild and of course one problem I too share is the lack of a decent computer. Every time that i want to go and play say World of Warcraft or Guildwars I have to go to a PC station and play there. It is a ways away( maybe fifteen minutes by bus) and it costs a small fee to use one of their computers thus makes it less than appealing to me. Oh well im saving up money to buy a decent computer for myself and a wireless router so I can use said computer upstairs.

Anyways I havent forgotten about Sai and using my "force powers" to get him to join us in playing Guild Wars. Mwahaha.

I haven't gotten around to playing World of Warcraft or Guild Wars yet, though I have done a great deal of research about the former. I have played three MMORPGs, one of which I enjoyed very much. The other two, if one can truly be considered a MMORPG, were okay, I never got into them like I did the other.

Runescape- This one's a free one, and I don't think it can really be considered that much of a MMORPG, though it could be fun to play online with some people I knew. Still, it wasn't really that great of a game, though I played it a lot when I was bored. I think I was level 51 when I quit. I went back recently, and they changed everything, it was weird.

Final Fantasy XI- This game was good, I just never got into it. I was a level 13 Red Mage when I quit. It was addicting sure, but I couldn't play it all that much because making my Playstation 2 online is a tricky, tricky thing to do, since I have to stretch a rather short chord halfway across my living room and up four or five feet to get to my online hub.

Star Wars Galaxies- Oh God do I love Star Wars, and I loved this game as well. Really, this is the only MMORPG I really got into and I would play it for 11 hours a day sometimes, even more. The thing was though, I would always get bored doing what I was doing, so I never got that great at anything. Actually, I think I only got to one advanced class and that was creature handler. If anyone ever plays the game, the most fun planet is Tatooine, and the most fun city there is Anchorhead. I bet if I went back now though there would be player cities galore, when I left they just started player cities.
