I honestly wish my friends would see what I do in Guild Wars. I thoroughly enjoy the “City of” and anticipate being in awe of “LotRO”. I’ve been mostly solo in all three Guil Wars campaigns. That is part of the attraction though. I belong to a guild, but nothing is really expected of me. As a result, I come and go as I please and advance the storyline here and there.

My wife has been busy lately so I went on my own for a while, and my son joined me a few times. Mostly just playing around, but the few quests I’ve done have been great. The heroes are wonderful and I’m having a good time. Well, except for this lost ink shipment quest. I found the ink but can’t pick it up to advance the quest. Bah.

I think my wife just finished soloing Nightfall’s storyline missions (with heroes and henchies of course)–if she hasn’t, she’s up to Abaddon’s Gate. She didn’t necessarily want to solo every mission, but she’s had a lot of trouble finding people at or past Sebelkeh–mission courtyards have been empty.

I haven’t bought copies of Nightfall for my GW accounts yet. I just picked the game up again last night and picked up my R/Me’s Prophecies campaign–I’m going to play through the whole thing instead of skipping to Cantha and ascending quickly.

Note that in some of the missions (Sebelkleh, for instance) even the heroes flake out and don’t pay much attention to orders. I’m sure many of the missions would have been a lot easier with a second person. One thing that she noted: she found missions easier when she could bring along a high Beast spec Ranger hero.

Good luck in Nightfall. It’s GW with the difficulty turned up to 11 if you’re not in end-game gear.

I just uninstalled GW along with virtually every other game I had on the hard drive. EvE and CoX remain though I don’t know why I left CoX on.

I do enjoy grouping though so if something got going and I had time for it I know I would be reinstalling the game :)

Guild Wars: best online casual game ever?

Nightfall … easily the best of the three. And perfect for you and your wife - the new Heroes mean that you can play just the two of you plus them but still have full control of what’s going on (unlike the older henchmen).

My brother and I play a lot (I’m in UK, he’s in Aust) when we can but often foudn the henchies frustrating. The Heroes … it’s like having 4 characters that you can use all at once :).

The hall and merchants you have are a big draw for me. All we have in BLOG is a cape.

Ethic: I had the same misgivings about leaving my tinier guild, Callers of Cthulhu [Cthu] composed of myself and a few friends to join a larger guild composed of people I didn’t know and one person I did. But since everyone from my guild all migrated, it wasn’t much of an issue, apart from me being sad about no longer having our neat guild name. I did leave one of my friends, who no longer plays GW, as the leader of Cthu so that the name would be “saved”. :P
