Guild Wars

Hey,


How many of you guys play Guild Wars?

[UltraWar]

I used to, yet I've pretty much lost interest in the game.

I just started playing it last week. Bought it for $50 from the local store.

Pretty good game. I really like it because it is diffrent from those other games; where you just keeping killing and killing (End result= very boring games). In GW thousands of quests.

My username is Iron Chancellor on GW.

I used to play lots when the game came out in 2005 (????)

I had basically a fully decked out Prophecy account, but then lost interest before the first expansion came out and never got into the game again

Used to play since Prophecies, played competitively for about two years (late 2005 onwards), quit around late 2007 - early 2008. I still log on occasionally to cash in on the tournament betting house.

You know, this thread made me think. Lately I've been looking for an action RPG that doesn't suck, something that puts emphasis on skillful playing or tactics instead of gear or horribly boring passive skills that enhance basic attacks and/or just activate by themselves based on a random chance. (I'm looking at you, Titan Quest! )

(Mount & Blade is one of the better games to fit the bill of skillful play and tactics, but unfortunately it's still somewhat limited in terms of content. Hopefully Taleworlds will keep adding to the game.)

In retrospect, GW did bring some fresh new air to the action RPG genre with its gameplay focus on tight small-team confrontations instead of soloing or huge disorganised brawls.

I used to play it also, haven't been able to get back into it mainly because It feels incomplete if I don't have the EOTN expansion and I can't afford it.
