Really? I loved GW and found WoW to be like an unwanted second job. Zalis Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 09:15:02 PM
But then again, I played my days of GW, had a really good time, and can be done with it. If I'd played WoW, I'd practically be working a second job's worth of time to keep up with everyone while also paying $15/mo. The cumulative cost of WoW far surpasses the two GW expansions. Also, GW's PvP was pretty amazing, albeit smaller scale than WoW's Battlegrounds. I prefer that, too.

So, different strokes and all that. I'll never understand why WoWers are so critical of GW. WoW has its good aspects, but it all comes with the major downside of full-on MMO time and money commitment. I'll gladly pass on that.

Please take all of this with a grain of salt, however, because I was burned out on "real" MMOs around the turn of the millenium. One stroke of the /age command and many people will feel the same way. Life's too short, and nobody on their deathbed will be be bragging about their epic mounts.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.

You know Guild Wars 2 is out, right? *NM* - 29/08/2012 11:51:01 AM 560 Views
Is it as mediocre as Guild Wars 1? *NM* - 29/08/2012 07:13:34 PM 575 Views
Didn't play GW1. It's certainly better than WoW, though. - 29/08/2012 08:04:30 PM 1090 Views

You mean the game no one has been interested in or pleased with enough to post about? - 29/08/2012 11:18:02 PM 1477 Views

Is it fair to say that they're still trivializing the content? - 30/08/2012 06:38:55 PM 1187 Views
I agree with you. - 30/08/2012 09:52:41 PM 1192 Views
I do miss the newness of the experience... the "back in the day", if you will. - 31/08/2012 12:47:20 AM 1584 Views
Is it just me or is the combat harder now? I actually have to heal *gasp* *NM* - 30/08/2012 08:07:39 PM 642 Views
It's harder to me just because I haven't developed a new button rotation. - 31/08/2012 12:44:17 AM 1552 Views
I'm excited to go back... - 31/08/2012 10:28:36 AM 1083 Views
