Guild Wars, Anyone else play? Options

[Ibis]

Wow that's weird! I can't imagine playing in Cantha (haven't seen it yet) without ever seeing the original game.

Wolfie, you are so way more advanced than us. We tried to get to Droknar's Forge by just going directly South and bypassing the long way around ... and just got totally beaten back by lvl 22 mobs when we are only lvl 18 and 16.

My Ranger is lvl 19 now and she uses 2 different bows .. A Blue Icy Longbow of Cold Dmg 14-26 (req 8 marksmanship) Reduces Poison by 20% and also A Purple Sundering Shortbow of Enchanting Pierce Dmg 13-24 (req 6 marksmanship) Armor Penetration +20% (chance 18%) Enchantments last 16% longer. She is my favorite character.

How much is Factions going for nowadays? Anyone know? I'd like to buy it. Oh, is it the same way as Guild Wars - you can choose to be PVP or Role Player character?

Well to buy in shops here in Ireland it's 44.99 or thereabouts (eruo). PvP charas work teh same way, except now they can be assassins or ritualists.
And Ibis, if you can get to Beacon's Perch you can usually find people who will run you to Droknar's Forge for anything from 1k to 3k, with the occasional free "test run"

My ranger is level twenty and has been for a while.
He uses a Shocking Half Moon (15-28 damage), a Gargash's Recurve Bow (15-28 green) and a Fiery Storm Bow of Fortitude (15-28 fire damage).
The Half Moon was a gift from a guild friend way back when my ranger was only in Ascalon. The Gargash's and the Storm Bow cost me 7k and 6k respectively to buy off other players in Drok's

Wow those are all really nice bows! All max damage. Okay, so how do you make so much money to be able to pay people to run you to Droks? I was always afraid to do that because if they want you to pay in advance and there is a problem and everyone dies or the party disbands or whatever - they've already got your money. Guess I should just get the henchies together and spend some serious killing time out as far as I can stay alive at... to accumulate enough money.

Does your Dad say why he won't let you buy Guild Wars? That's weird. Video games aren't really harmful.

On the question of similarity to WOW, I never played that game but from what I've heard ... no, Guild Wars is not that much like it. I guess someone who has played WOW could tell you in what ways they are similar, but Guild Wars is very recent and solves many of the problems that the older games have been complained about.
