[Neil]

A group of us have just jumped into it...

[Neil]

[Danny]

Explain?

[AcesandEights]

I am so far removed from my WoW experience at this point that this is the first I'm seeing of this image. Brilliant in it's simple honesty!

[Neil]

OK! I am totally confused

[AcesandEights]

OK! I am totally confused Hellsing answered your question about whether anyone here plays Guild Wars by saying, in effect, 'Not me, mate. I play World of Warcraft.' When you asked for an explanation he responded with a meme (he may dispute my use of the term in this instance) that underscored his playing of WoW. I thought it was funny because of how accurate said meme was and commented as such. Sorry for the topic derail, by the way. I've never played Guild Wars, is it a very active gaming community and still supported by the developers?

Guild Wars still seems to have a pretty active community, and is still supported yes GW2 is out next year I believe

GW2 is out next year I believe Just did a quick bit of reading up on it (wiki) and it sounds fun enough. I'll keep an eye on the 2nd iteration when it's released.

In regards to WoW....I played till I was a level 69 Undead Necro ....Then I suddenly exclaimed "Sweet Jesus I hate this game, why on earth have I been playing this for so long!"...I just couldnt figure out the appeal.... Just not my type of game I suppose.

Has that happened yet? Looks pretty cool, but I always enjoyed the Barrens(chat off of course) as a good low level area. Looked pretty. Might have to pick WOW back up for a month or two to take a gander

Might have to pick WOW back up for a month or two to take a gander nope, all part of the next expansion 'cataclysm' where the world is gonna be completely upheaved with natural disasters, places like thousand needles gets flooded, part of stormwind is destroyed, since the lich king is now dead the plaguelands are receding ect. Though you dont need the expansion, you could put in vanilla wow with no expansions and come the day of the cataclysm the world is changing for everyone regardless. a lot of people complained how its not going to be the same anymore but if your paying for a persistent online world would you want it to after 5 years? I mean the peasents have been working on the roof of westfall in for 5 years now y'know? heres a bunch of stuff leaked today from the cataclysm alpha showing the changes to the world: http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php

I've never played guild wars, but was very active in Eve online...now that, is a hit or miss game. Sometimes it would be the most exhilarating thing in existence, such as when you are involved in roaming ship gangs, running around hostile territory hunting for enemy targets. Then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have the mining, and manufacturing, and mission running...and blegh... That said, I still have fond memories of my first large scale pvp conflict, which involved the besieging of a player operated structure, with a fleet composed almost entirely of battleships and a dozen or so dreadnoughts. Shit was epic. I've also played Warhammer online, and while I enjoyed it, i had to choose between that, or Eve online, so I never bothered going past a trial account with WHO. Good thing as well, considering the recent scandals that have been associated with Mythic, the most disturbing of which is the fact that all players that have owned a paid account in the past, or owned one at the time of the occurrence, ended up being charged upwards of 2000 dollars. All due to errors with the billing company. Good God man, that was messed up.

Good God man, that was messed up. i had a 30 day account for WAR, i was chaos, obviously, and i could barely play it through the glitches, like an imperial rifleman would suddenly explode and his character model would turn into some kind fo inside out polygonal spider, it was kinda disturbing. oh well, whent back to wow, shame its sinking:
