Guild Wars

I'm considering putting my WoW account on hold. Money is getting tight....gas is going up (well they are dropping slightly in some areas), and I play 2 different MMO's that I pay for. I've gotten to the point to where in order for me to grow in WoW is to either move on to a raiding type guild, or do instances all day long, which I'm sure both will get old (and I dont have time to raid anyway heh).

I'm also thinking about trying Guild Wars again. I didn't really give it a chance, but I think I'm going to try one more time. I still need my spell and sword fix, as much as my guns and bombs fix. 🙂

Anyhoo....if you are still playing Guild Wars, maybe we can hook up. Post names 🙂

EDIT: I may still consider an alt toon on horde side if anyone is playing horde. I still like WoW Jus cant go forward with my alliance toon, and I started alts to get my fill of WoW.
I think I need a break from Rikr. Since I wont be doing raids with him, I may just do ungodly amounts of PVP with him.

We've just started playing, have 1 couple in post searing the rest are still newbies. Look for Tedra Lyonne & Dante Sans in post, or Redd Renoux and Xander Dominik in pre.

Eh don't put it on hold. Try everthing out. Max out those tradeskills, get the 900g horse, go on some raids (you'll get some stuff).

Then roll a Horde alt and learn about that side, PVP with them. Really there is still a ton you can do. I hit 60 back in May or so and I still plink around with him and find plenty to do besides do instances and raids.

If you have no desire to join a raid guild then a serious option is doing pvp. For wsg you will get an instance every half hour to hour. During that time you can go watch tv or whatever or go farm cash. Dieing in PVP does not incurr the 10% durability loss like PVE. AV comes up 2-3 times a week on azjol but it is 6-7 hours of nonstop hordie raping. You can leave whenever you want, of course staying has a larger honor reward. The real reason to do AV though is strictly faction based because the rewards for exhalted are better than MC stuff. Same with WSG faction stuffs. Fuck guild wars and check out some PVP, I usually run a group at night on Martiny.

Also, WoW raid guilds do not take the amount of effort/time like they did in EQ. Aside from the stupid late starts my guild has (fuck PST players) we raid no more than 3-4 hours a night on 3-4 nights a week.

Yeah, I guess you guys are right. I'll suck it up...its only like 50 cents a day to play...hell I can cut out one diet coke a day. 🙂 PVP is the one thing I wanted to get into...I actually thought that was pretty fun the 2 times I did it. Once I got to the 50-60 bracket I stopped. I didn't feel like getting hammered every 2 seconds inside WSG by uber'ed out lvl 60's. 🙂 I think I'm going to try out the horde side when I'm not pvp'ing Rikr. Anyone in a casual horde guild, that can hook me up on an invite?

Oh and whats a good thing to farm for $$. I cant seem to find anything. I dropped enchanting for DE's to go with engineering for my Pally....should I pick it back up and run lower level instances for greens and bop blues to de?

Well, I started a horde toon on Icecrown...I think she's up to level 14. There's also the option of trying PvP servers...

I hope this isn't going to be another case where everyone leaves the game while I'm taking an extended leave of absence Sad

Try playing horde side on a pvp server, and playing a class that can kill people (shaman). I switched to icecrown and got that warrior to 47, but ended up making a druid on another pvp server. It's just more fun.

I can hook you up with some of my rl friends on Tichondrius who are always looking for bud's to pvp with. (PvP server, horde side)

My hunter is 47 and he kicks some ass.
Warstomp is the bane of any melee class that tries to fuck with me. Bombs help too.

Besides the fact Rik, Vulash had suggested I start on the horde side House of Vile Funk which made me giggle and I thought I would if there was enough to join up 😉

I'm horde on Illidan (PvP) with my fiance and his guild. I'm sure we could get invites for people if they wanted.
