Guild Wars 2

Looks like I’m going to be here awhile!

I apologise for the possible flood of random spam today folks. Since we don’t have a random content sub-forum for useless stuff like this, I thought I’d slap ‘em here! ’Ey, c’mon, I need something to pass the time besides listening to my GW2 OST from my CE!

Impatient to play? lol

Try the Rytlock Critter Rampage in the meanwhile

You’re still using Windows XP. Why OP, why?

yeh i have to say i was concerned that your still actually using XP to?

unless you just have the ’’oldschool’’ look turned on as you can do that…

Because the only alternative is 7 and I’m not sure everyone has a ton of money to throw away on upgrading their OS every year and a half M$ comes out with a new debacle?

Seriously at least get 7 though, Vista and 8 are hot water trash, avoid them like the plague.

Rule of thumb with Microsoft is just get every other OS.

I’m still using Vista. :P Upgrading seems like an awful lot of effort.

I’m one of those old fashioned players that is fatally scared of upgrading to any new OS. That and I refuse to pay the prices Microsoft charge for 7/8 :P Believe it or not, XP has been my most stable OS since my old 98 SE days so I thought “why try to fix something that isn’t broken?” ^^

You shouldn’t be scared to upgrade to a new operating system. I do however understand why you wouldn’t want to pay for an operating system. The last operating system I purchased was Windows XP, everything else I have gotten free from being a student. While XP was awesome for its day, 7 is the superior system for sure now. Do you at least run 64bit XP? D=

From a performance and security standpoint it would be better to upgrade. The other thing is, MS stopped supporting that OS which means it won’t be getting any new updates.
Look at it as an investment. One time pay, and you’re good for 10 years :P

Nope! Still a 32bit user, whoop! :P

I s’pose you’re right. Might pick up 7 at some point but not for now – after spending £200 on my GTX 660 and a 650w modular PSU, my GF is about ready to dine on my nuts! ! ! :P
