Guild Wars 2

We have played as a very small guild since GW1 started. The one thing we really miss in GW2 is playing PVP against each other. Hence we have never tired PVP because of the learning curve, and getting stomped by experienced players.

I see that you can buy a Custom Arena Starter Kit for 1600 gems a month!!!!
Why so expensive, or even any expense at all?

Just curious why ANet would take away such a nice feature that existed in GW1?

becouse they see u as a cow and they want to milk you dry

“but 1600 gems is nothing just go farm cof 1 or pay 10$ to play with ur friends” yeah no i alrdy payed 50$

Guild Wars 2: “No monthly fee”, “Free to play”, I am confused.

You can’t just go to a server setup by the community and play on that server?

There is no monthly fee, you do not have to pay to play with your friends.

As stated above it is free to play. After all you are not paying cash monthly in order to play the game.

I may be mistaken then. I thought others might jump in as two if us were learning/playing

Yes it might happen. If it’s just two of you as well, you could join a dueling server (custom server that someone has labeled as for duels in the title) and just go off in a corner or something. On a dueling server people will at least ask if you want to fight instead of just jumping in, might work out better.

It is kind of a bummer that custom servers cost so much, but at least personally I think you get so much in this game for free that I’m okay with it. I think you get a lot more that most subscription games (which often don’t have private servers). MMOs are expensive, gotta pay the bills somehow.

I’m pretty sure its 1600 gems just for the server kit and then you purchase tokens to keep it open so after the initial purchase its much cheaper. Although I’m not 100%.
