Looking For REAL Guild

Ive recently finding myself logging onto guild wars and just standing there reading the text for hours on end because ive got nothing to do.

Ive completed all 4 games on 3 different characters.
Tried DoA but its not as good anymore.
Tried farming but things arnt worth as much anymore.
Cant play pvp coz no one really does anymore.

if anyone could come up with a good suggestion with what i can do next because im finding myself extremely bored and not bothering with the money ive spent on it.

Thanks

Try playing less, then log on every once in a while. Or get addicted to a console game instead :P

Many people still PvP, you just have to look in the right area. However if you're new at PvP, it can be a pain to get into a good guild/find good players.

Anyways, the same thing happened to me, and I just stopped playing. There's not going to be new content for awhile, so PvE is extremely boring if you've done everything, and trying to get into PvP as a new PvP player is frustrating. I'd recommend the same thing - stop playing, at least for awhile.

I just went back to BF2142, will probably bounce back and forth until GW2...if I even get that one.
Wish I could find my BF2 cd's...that game was fun as hell compared to 2142.

PvP is not dead, the only place you'd have trouble getting a group (excluding obvious Hero Battles and Random Arenas) is Team Arenas. You'll need to go with friends or a guild group most likely if you want to play.

Lots of GvG guilds are still incredibly active, and Halls is still thriving in the international districts, don't bother spending time anywhere else like the empty American districts =(

Dawn of War Platinum gets you Dawn of War, Winter Assault, and Dark Crusade, all in one package and at a nice low price.

Guild Wars... eh, not really worth staying in these days, beyond chatting, I guess, but personally the few people worth talking to for me have already left the game.

Also, Diablo 2, always nice to relive the good old days.

as much as it pains me i have to agree with the above. move on and find something fresh. theres many many titles out there. i really believe GW will be DOA when GW2 arrives. i believe were witnessing the death of a great title. great game - new content for 1.5 yrs = MASS EXODUS!!!

Try a different class, and do it in hardmode. As for PVP, it requires more patience and finding the right people to PVP with.

Well, it seems that you are supposed to start playing another game. Anet is keeping really quiet on GW2 so I guess they intend for people to get fed up with GW1.

Just a few games that may be of interest:

Aion online
Diablo 3
Warhammer fantasy online
Sacred 2

And well, there is much more coming out before GW2 that could keep you busy enough to even come back to GW. Sadly, it would appear that Anet is not big or organised well enough to keep momentum for GW. We just had PAX and the Leipzig Game Con and they used those opportunities to give us nothing to look forward to. So I find myself in much the same predicament, although admittedly I have 14 characters

1. Take a break. No single game can entertain you forever. Try another game or even real life. (Please note that Real Life DOES have monthly fees)
2. You may want to hunt some titles if you really want to stay in GW. But of course only if you like to get them.

It's been that way for a year now and most people got the ranks they wanted. It could be more alive (9 districts like on the double fame weekend) but there's still enough activity to find groups and play normally.

hehe aint that true.
I recently had about 4 months off, was playing too much, and now im back trying pvp which i am really enjoying.
What i used to do before when i was getting the boredom factor , was to try and make a solo build for the afflicted, never did manage that but its great fun trying. What ever you decide to do , just make sure you come back for gw2 when it turns up .

Play something else for awhile - if you want to come back at some point, play a game with a clear lifespan (single-player rpg or something) that can keep you busy for awhile. Then see whether you feel like playing again, and if not, congratulations, you're free to do something else.

Go for titles man, there's so many.
Legendary Vanquisher
Legendary Guardian
Legendary Cartographer
Legendary Master of the North
Legendary Skill Hunter
Sunspear
Lightbringer
Norn / Asura / Vanguard / Dwarven ranks

that's 26 titles that'll keep you busy untill GW2 is out.
Want to go for GWAMM?

Add:
Drunkard
Sweet Tooth
Party Animal
Survivor or if you can't anymore: Kurzick HFFF or Wisdom title or Treasure hunter.

Or just pimp your HoM. Collect elite armor, destroyer and tormented weapons, minipets, hero armor pieces.

Still bored? Do the Bonus Mission Pack, and equip all your heroes with cool weapons that you get from it.

And if all this still bores you, then you're playing the wrong game. Go play something else.

Yeah, sure, that's why there are 3 chapters plus an addon of huge PvE worlds, PvE skills, Heroes, quests, missions, dungeons, PvE titles (see above). Because it's a pvp game. *rolls eyes*
Ever went anywhere else but the Unnamed Isles?

What about HM?

Or take a break and come back. Or maybe create a new character, or PvP a little.
