Guild Wars 2

Hello all, I just purchased GW2 because it looked like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone else that plays it. Any advice, thoughts, or suggestions? Should I try to team up or find a “guild” early in the game?

Thanks!

Hello Perdog,

Whether you join a guild early on and learn the basics with them, or learn the ropes of the game before jumping in with a guild. Do whatever you’re most comfortable with!

There are always other new players starting out as well, so you could always party up with some nearby players when progressing through the game.

Thanks Baamoink! I appreciate the feedback. I’ve played MMO’s before, but it has been several years since, and jumping into a new and massive game solo can be a bit daunting. Also, I was always a casual player; I never had the highest level characters, equipment, or clans.

I figure I’ll jump head-in and learn the ropes.

Which server are you on? The first thing I’d recommend is looking for a guild on you server. If you’re in a city, you could also look for local guilds. It’s nice to play with someone you can see, too. Then again, you’ll probably have long, dumb, wonderful conversations with your guildies in Mumble or Teamspeak, no matter where they live. Finding a guild that actively uses a chat system is great. What are your interests? You might be able to find a guild specifically for people with similar ones.

Mind that most servers have their own websites and 500 slot TS servers. It might be worth checking those out.

The three player started sticky threads at the top of this sub-forum.
