Speaking of which, my girlfriend got in on the Guild Wars beta weekend last weekend... and she looks like she'll be purchasing the game when it comes out very soon. I told her of the dangers of MMORPG addictions... but she kinda brushed it off. I think she's planning a scheme to get me to play the game (as in, purchasing the game for me and paying for a month of gameplay). :nervous:
Women are EVIL. |
I didn't find the Guild Wars 3 day preview very enjoyable, maybe they've improved it since than though. |

The beta's apparently shows off only 25% of what the full game is capable of.
She really enjoyed it... but she's never really played MMORPG's, either. |

| MMORPG's are the worst invention ever. I was hooked on Everquest for far too long. Time online was a core requirement to be in the best guild and see the end game. |

See I don't think they are such a bad invention, the only thing is you really have to decide if you want to be doing the best in the game, and if you do, than you need to put ALOT of time in. But if you just enjoy playing you can put in an hour or so a day and play casually and it can still be fun.
Personally, I'm not happy unless I am doin the high end content, but work is kinda gettin in the way of me puttin in the 8 hour WoW days i was doin' the couple of weeks after launch. |

Yeah, I didn't mean they were bad literally. Just for me EQ sucked me in so hardcore I would make up excuses to my friends of why I couldn't go out because a raid was scheduled for that night. :( |

It's not a bad game but once you max out your level there really isn't anything to do unless you get 40 people together or if you want to re-run the same dungeons 20 times for 5 hours each to get a chance to roll on a piece of equipment with 5 more armor and 2 extra agility.
Maybe once they release battlegrounds there will be more to do but for now I don't have much interest in playing the game. But it's a very good game level 1-59, so have fun but don't go overboard. |
