In about 1-2 hours (or maybe it’s already live) my favourite event appears again, probably a favourite of many. You should really check out Rata Sum (it’s to the west of the Sylvari capital city) and take a look at the ‘Super Adventure Box’. It’s really awesome and it is sort of like playing zelda/mario etc inside Guild Wars.

Is that whats patching now? It sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks for the heads up!

And thanks everyone for the further welcomes! I just hit 25! Still struggling on the crafting aspect of the game but when I’m not lazy I’ll simply look up guides, haha.I’ve been finding mats left and right!

woaaah dude dont delete your character, guesting allows you to do everything that you normally could, the only difference is you cant join them in WvW

Then I shan’t! I assume WvW is the ‘world versus world’ that I’ve read about. It sounds intense! I’ll probably need some practice before I’m even good at it, haha.

Yes, if you delete everything, you can transfer for free.

Make sure to move everything to your bank that you don’t want to lose, and that the world is not Full. <3

Aw man, decisions decicions. I just hit 23 on Mal which isn’t that far but I’ve already grown so attached.

/wanders off to ponder for a while

But TC is one of the best servers! And the only NA RP server. In the long run, level 23 isn’t a big sacrifice compared to shelling out a lot of gold for a single transfer.

I don’t doubt that! But I sadly cannot forsake my irl friends. Perhaps I can guest there someday~!

Welcome to Tyria!

If you’re not on TC or Piken yet, those are the two main roleplay servers (NA/EU respectively). You seem like the type to get immersed that way.

I will definitely roll a character on TC then, thank you so much~!

Remember that all of your characters can only be played on one server, but you can guest anytime.

Ah really? Thats a bit unfortunate! Is there any way to change that at the moment? If you deleted all of your characters could you possibly start over on a new realm? I assume guesting is like the cross-server experience Wow had. I’m so very curious now.

As for everyone else, thanks so much! I had a long day of work and I’m eager to get back into the swing of things. I even have a day off tomorrow (although my friend is kidnapping me to go thrift shopping. I’m moving soon and she demands I get new plates and stuff for my apartment haha!)

No worries, I understand people may not love GW2 or have fallen out of love with it. It happens in every game! I intend for this not to happen to me, and taking things slow and steady. I still have so much to learn anyway… I don’t want to end up like I was when I finally maxxed out a character in Wow, a hunter gemming hit in Naxx. /shudder. Gotta love the guides out there~

But yes, is there any way to shift servers, even if it means deleting everything? I probably won’t since I have irl friends on my server (Something… Bay. I forgot!), but I’d like to know anyway. Such a shame I can’t have a roleplaying alt!

Oof, have fun for a couple hours and manage some chores, miss some quality posts!

I do intend to join a guild soon enough, I’ve just been so distracted! The world is so big and going around reaping karma awards and reading all the lore and whatnot is great. The characters are so charismatic (including mine, ahaha).

I’m currently wandering around Brisban Wilderlands. I love the random ecnounters, they’re so amusing sometimes… I was aiding some Skritt whom were trying to get their ‘shinies’ back from bandits when all of a sudden, a group event (I assume elite) bandit leader comes out of nowhere. I left them to die as I ran off like a girl.

Also I wish we were allowed to court npcs because Malyck is too amazing. Maliel digs. I hope he doesn’t end up tainted by nightmare somewhere down the road.

Being able to fight for our lives before actually dying is a great touch, and theres so many paths to take! I’m currently favoring being a bruiser skirmish-type ranger. Swords and axes and torches oh my!

But I digress! I’ll find a guild soon enough. Hopefully. Although I’m not sure where to begin looking… the guild forums I imagine?

Aw hey thanks everyone! This inspires me further.

Methinks its time to dive back in and get back to leveling. I have so much to do!

Ahaha, yes I do. I was just full of happiness due to it and wanted to share somewhere.

Thanks for being awesome basically! Theres quite a few people out there that have helped me randomly on quests and such, so in part its an ‘I like this game’ thread and a ‘thanks!’ thread. ;p

I don’t even know where to start. I suppose I should say that I’ve always wanted Guild Wars 2, ever since release, but my life at that time was not having it. I recently realized how I’ve managed to pull myself around, and how much I missed mmos. I used to play World of Warcraft avidly for many years, but my hectic life slowly slid me away from it, as well as being burnt out. I tried over and over to immerse myself into Azeroth, but nothing worked, not even a roleplaying server (which is strange since I’m huge into lore and writing – people just were so exclusive about their rp!). So, I quit.

Thats when I realized… Guild Wars 2 was still going strong, and growing! This was my chance! It was with eager impatience that I waited for the game to install and when it did… I was so very, very happy.

New lands to explore, better opportunities to play with others… the lands are beautiful and the character customization had me stumped for an hour. The events are plentiful and amazing, the story so open and free but with just enough linear progress to keep you moving in the right direction. I’m still clueless about crafting, but for now I’m focused on questing and learning the lore – currently of the Sylvari!

I’m very eager to progress Maliel and make him the best he can be. I know I’m going to have fun while doing it! I still have so much to learn, and as a veteran mmo player, this excites me. I’m still rather shy around others and haven’t a guild yet, but someday. For now I’m simply a rogue, a silent hero that appears mid-fight to help and that bows and leaves silently after. A true shadow, but I hope that will change!

Thanks for such a good game, its the relief I sorely needed, haha. If you see a Sylvari named Maliel Riverwind running around, give him a wave!
