[Help] Finding a New Online game

So true, when I originally got the game back at release I literally popped it on the shelf after completing the game with a single character; so many retards running around and ruining the game... however when I picked up the expansion; factions a month ago and found a really neat guild suddenly the game that seemed so average has become far more enjoyable then any online game I've played in the past (ie. RO ~ 1 year messing around with friends in uni, L2 ~ 2 years of endless grinding, WoW ~ 1.3 years of hardcore raiding/pvp).

I dunno, I was always a big fan of the dual-class system in the game and the wonderful graphics/music/gameplay but the community ruined it for me the first time through. Now having a good guild of people who enjoy and understand the game has really made it so much better (not to mention the cool new enviroment in the expansion; <3 the asian culture).

Coming back to this game made me realise how much I was cheating myself by playing p2p games which provided BETAlike gameplay, terrible support with regular downtimes to boot.

I honestly recommend giving GW another go, but when you do make sure to find a good guild with people that ENJOY the game, make use of a voice chat system and regularly group for pvp/elite dungeons and help each other with missions. They do exist and it’s well worth shopping around to find a good one.

That has to be one of the game’s strongest points; its not like most online games where you spend a good month levelling up a character to find out the ONLY way to progress your character is to join guild X or Y as they’re the only two guilds capable of doing the endgame content on YOUR server; then when you finally get accepted into one of them you find yourself on a road trip to hell with endless drama. After deciding enough is enough you re-roll on another server but find yourself in the exact situation again… =(

If only the game creators took note of this fact and actually made mmo’s in which itemisation doesn’t dominate the game field following in Guild Wars footsteps.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
