Hi,

So I’m back after a couple of days playing Guild Wars 2 since I bought it. =) (Christmas Day)

It’s amazing, in all aspects. I love the story, the depth of the characters, WvWvW (especially), and PvP! I’m having way more fun than I was in WoW.

I’m currently a level 30/31 Ranger on the Darkhaven server. Sorry, I forgot which level it was. xD

Just thought I’d give you guys a little update on my impressions.

also, how often do public events spawn? And are there a lot of players in them? :o

Depends on the zone, the event, and perhaps even other events nearby. An example would be the Orr events to take over a temple. If you do that, then soon you get an event to defend that temple. If you fail to take it over, or fail to defend it, then soon the event to take it over will start again.

Apparently you have to remember that this is a 2-years-old MMO so the activity in lower levels isn’ttoo huge. However, you will, generally speaking, never have an issue meeting other players thanks to the game’s huge active player-base and megaservers.

I expect to see some players. X3

After all, wow is 10 years old.

Thank you! So far most of the replies have been extremely helpful! Yours included!!

If that’s your main goal, I think that GW2 has a lot to offer you. I’ve spent close to 2500 hours playing it, and still run across stuff I’ve never seen.

Awesome!!! I explore usually quite fast, while keeping up with the level cap of each zone. One example is Skyrim I explored everything in about 35 hours… :p idk if that’s impressive, but whatever. XD also, how often do public events spawn? And are there a lot of players in them? :o

Thanks to everyone! And the person who said that i d better be prepared to be bored, I mostly play MMOs for the soul aspect of exploration and seeing other players doing the same quests as me, or just seeing other players randomly. Shallow, yes. Preference? YES. Oh and… I paid full price for the heroic edition.

Thank you! ughhh only 7 gigs dled so far

Lol. Thanks for all of the information!!!

I am more of a pve player, so I’ll be seeing more dungeons than PvP! Although, I might play a few rounds of wvwvw here and there.

I’m usually good with RPG combat. After years of WoW I decided to leave, the monthly payment was putting a dent in my wallet. I even heard on guild wars 2, PvP levels are balanced, only in arenas.

And thanks Kongkitten Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks!!!

And also, what is winters day? :o (in guild wars 2)

Hi,

I recently just bought guild wars 2 about 30 minutes ago lol.

It’s currently downloading, and I was wondering is it still a good game for new players? Like are there other new players in the starting zones? Is the meta OK? Just wondering!
