I just recently started playing GW again, and I was wondering if anyone else plays it?

Sorry, I sold my GW account... maybe I can get it back seeing as the guy who bought it still hasn't paid me yet... GW was fun...

btw, get WoW. I'll give you a free 10 days if you want...

System Req's for GW: 256 MB Ram

System Req's for WoW: 512 MB Ram

My System's Ram: 384 MB Ram

I think I have to stick to GW, if you know what I mean

Not to mention after those 10 days it would be Pay to Play, and I don't play P2P games.

Why?

Jedi(HF) · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2006, 07:05:36 am »

1: I'm cheap lol

2: I find $15 a month ridiculous considering you have to pay for the game as well which is 30-50 depending on where you buy it, not to mention expansions

3: Even if I wasn't cheap, I don't have a job at the moment to pay for a play to pay game that costs $15 a month ( I'm only 16 so I'm not overly enthuasitic about getting a job yet when I can sit on my can and play video games all day for summer break

)

Ignore all the politics.

And Sidoh. -_- He's promotes WoW lots.

Even though he's part of the reason I started playing. :X

GW is a brilliant game. Sure, it's inferior to WoW ( in my opinion ) but you can have a lot of fun with it. My main suggestion is to take your time and look at things; there's a lot of really nice art incorporated into that game. I have an account with ~500 platinum on it but I don't want to reinstall. :X

Jedi(HF) · « **Reply #8 on:** July 12, 2006, 03:40:40 pm »

:O 500 Platinum?!?! Must have been playing for a while >.< Hey if you aren't going to play it anymore do you think I could get your account from you? One of my friends want's to play but doesn't have the money to get a key and he has been borrowing different friends accounts so he cant get past pre-searess :/.

P.S. If you let me have it I'll promise to try out WoW

I played on a computer with 256 ram, and I got about 10fps.

While that may seem like a semi-valid reason, there are other things you are leaving unconsidered.

2: I find $15 a month ridiculous considering you have to pay for the game as well which is 30-50 depending on where you buy it, not to mention expansions

Considering WoW has effectively replaced and haulted the past, constant stream of games I bought, it's probably saving me money in the long run. New games are generally $30 - $50. Even if one kept me entertained for two months (that was rare), I'd still break even by paying for a monthly WoW subscription fee. I can honestly tell you I haven't purchased a game in the 1.5 years I've played WoW. It has also replaced other forms of entertainment. I used to buy/rent movies a lot. I think the only ones I've purchased in my time of playing WoW are Dune, The Chidren of Dune and Underworld: Evolutions, which totals to about $50. I'm still saving money.

WoW is an emensely intricate and complicated game. Considering Blizzard maintains server farms that get more traffic than almost every internet site on the planet, I think the $15 is well worth the stability they are able to maintain.

Pfff... I had a summer job when I was 14! It paid $8.50/hr too!

I see where your coming from, but for me it's different. In the last two years I have bought 1 video game and it was Halo 2 for the X-Box. The rest of them my parents bought

So in the last two years I have spent $30 (my dad bought GW and decided he didnt like it so gave me the account) where as if I had WoW (I would have to pay for the monthly subscriptions myself) I would have spent $360.

Also in the last two years I have enough games that I can switch between to not get bored of them.

So your parents don't want to try saving money by paying a monthly subscripsion instead of buying you games every so often?

Jedi(HF) · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2006, 06:08:17 pm »

They dont buy me $180 worth of games in a year though

I get maybe $50-$100 in games from them a year, and including when I bought Halo 2, we still saved $50.

8.50/hr @ 14? JESUS. When I got my first job it was like 5.15/hr minimum wage at a cash register. Thats about the time I decided programming was for me.

That's my life story at this point in time.

That job (8.50/hr) was helping my boss restructuring my school's network.

Keeping on topic: Yes, I do play GW. I bought Factions, not knowing that there was an original. If you have Factions, lemme' know. If not, I suggest you get it, too.

Factions is part of my "To do" list, associated with the "Get a Job" section. They also announced the third campaign, Guild Wars Nightfall, wich I will probably end up getting when it comes out as well.

Actually if you merge GW and GW:F then you only get 6 Char slots, and I'm assuming GW:NF will only make it 8.

Awww, Ewww. That doesnt make any sense though. Reduce the overall output of the product only for the dedicated users? Pff.
