• • Role Playing Guilds

  • And then I checked out the sticky in this forum.  I wasn't aware of MMORPG's guild search function.  Awsome feature!

    But I would still like anyone's opinion about role playing in Guild Wars.  Good or bad experiences, give 'em to me.

• • Role Playing Guilds

  • Are there any role playing guilds?  I'm not talking about PVE, I mean acutal role playing.  I don't think I've seen a single person anywhere I've been in game that has even attempted to role play.

     

    I understand that the game is geared towards PVP, but the storyline, lore, and the expansions scream for role play!  It also doesn't help that we can't add a bio to our characters and whatnot.  Again, this is probably due to the fact it's geared towards PVP.

    Either way, I've searched several different forums for recuritment, and I haven't had any luck.  Anyone here got any information on role playing in Guild Wars?

• • Guild Wars Dies?

  • I first played Guild Wars over a year ago.  I stopped playing after a few weeks, for various reason having nothing to do with the game.  Now I have started playing again in just the last few weeks.  Although I haven't got far in the game, I find a healthy population everywhere I go.  I would say I see about a 75% veteren to 25% new player population.  IMHO after all these years and new people are still coming to the game, I think that's pretty healthy.

     

    I don't have a problem finding groups, finding information from players, etc.   Most of the people I run into are great.  Of course the game has it share of elite "I'm too good to even look at you NOOB!" people, and "I'm a NOOB, can I have some gold!" people.

     

    You didn't say if you were in a guild or not.  I can only assume, which is a bad word, that being in a guild would give you someone to play with, to either PVP, quest, or just have fun.   As far as not wanting to grind in games anymore, that's pretty much what any MMO is.  They aren't designed that way, the player base makes it that way.  Everyone wants to have max everything.  Most people just fly through the game, to get to the max level, max armor, weapon, ships, etc...  They miss out on the beauty of the game.

    To be honest, the only MMO that I have played that was a true sandbox, and didn't have a grind was EVE Online.  But not everyone likes stars and spaceships.  Now if they would only make a fanasty MMO just like EVE, that would be great!
