Now except ventari corner the other section are quite dead.

Lurk some more.
Or look back through all the closed threads here. That should give you a pretty good idea.

I figured as much; guess I won't bother restarting or anything. I guess I need a new MMO/CO/RPG.

Did you really want to ... group... with other players?
Just because this game is getting old, this is no excuse for your pervert desires! Shame on you!

I know what you mean; I've played since release, and had my share of PUGs and solo. But frankly, I still desire some form of communication when I play. H/H just don't provide. I mean, even if it's a chest run in FoW... sure, you're not actually killing anything, and you COULD do it solo, I'm sure a lot of people do, but it's more fun when you have a group.

Guild Wars. There are still plenty of good, active guilds if you like doing things with people.

Without a good guild or active friendslist this game is as dead as it can get for you.
There is almost no outpost where people look for parties, because we love heroes. At least they rape noobs in PvP and are my best friend in PvE.
This game had a lot of negative changes.
Edit: Man am I glad that I have both... an active guild AND active friendslist.

The community isn't dead. It's more like thousands of people are trying to find new things to post about and they are failing.
Other than the april update.. there isnt much going on.

We are all waiting for Arenanet to unleash the great mysteries of the infamous "April Update" and Guild Wars 2". The current game still has alot of people playing but the novelty is wearing off. We need something good and new to keep us motivated here.

i wouldn't look to guru....lol
Nah theres a lot of annoying kids or people who act like them in game. but then again there is wherever you go in life. I personally am able to play the game how i like it without any problems with the community.
The problem is your more likly to talk about negative situations in the game mroe than any situation where peopel have been particularly nice

meh, wouldn't says it's dead. i would just say it's different. grouping is only worth it with guildies. people are less welcoming with random people.

The community I once knew thrived on talking about the changes to the game and how players should adapt to these changes to do better in PvP or PvE.
Lack of updates screws this up hard. Expect minor shifts in gameplay and bursts of community activity every month when ANet makes lulzy balances, and shitstorms every three months when people complain about new content, future new content, and make more heavy speculation.

Your answer can be found by reading this thread. The community as a whole is the same as it's always been...unfortunately. Amidst the legions of whining, immature, e-peen obsessed gamers running around screaming "NOOB" at everybody and crying because things actually change once in a while, there are still a handful of descent, fun people to play the game with that can provide a good conversation or two while you're playing.

Martin, he responded after only 2 posts saying that. I don't think that's really a great sampling to make such a statement. Whether it's Guru, in-game, or any other forum.
The community is the same. It's like any MMO community. There are those that hate it, those that like it, those that could care less. If you want more specific information such as updates from a certain time, what changes have happened to a certain class, if there are still events going on... then maybe we can help provide people with more information. To simply come onto any forum and ask "What's the community like now" doesn't really give us any clue what information they are looking for so no answer will satisfy. Of course most of the responses are going to be negative.

It's active enough for me. I still tell people about the game so I would expect others to do the same from time to time. If there are less players, then at least it helps to leave people who enjoy the game to play with.

It was once said by a few wise men that nerfing _____ would promote player skill. It would encourage people to get better. Classes/Professions would be played the way they were designed. Ie. A mesmer would run a mesmer bar etc... So far this has not happened. Instead the game has gotten less social. Outside of guilds, grouping up is virtually non existant. The constant reminder that this is Guildwars has done nothing. Common knowledge suggests majority of the player base is not very good thus cramming them all into a limited amount of good guilds in theory is impossible. There are always guilds recruiting left, right and center. Whether they are any good is questionable. We cried, we bitched, we whined...
Here we are today. GG wise men. What was once considered for the better of GW has completely turned it upside down. I'd like to see some of these wannabedevarmchairquarterback types duplicate the success of GW with their version of the game and how they think GW "should" be.

Rawr still plays, the community is still here, what has changed? Nothing...
snaek
pve side...many pugs will either be randomway or revolve around shadow form...shadow form speed clears, shadow form dungeon runs, shadow form farm leech groups, etc etc.
pvp side...it may not be as exciting as it used to be (lame metas) but its still surviving.
aside from that...the community revolves around xth & zkeys.

This winter, I've helped a guildmate through Prophecies (beginning at LA), all of Factions and now 4 missions away from completing Nightfall. We had no problem finding groups for missions or the occasional quest.
We found people to add to our Friends list and players we hope we never meet again. It seemed very similar to my own first time through the campaigns three and two years ago.
Why bother to ask someone else's opinion - just jump in and try it. If you already own the game, you have nothing to lose.

I considered the game dead at that point.
I guess what I was asking was, has anything changed, has the dynamic been revived? But in reference to the quote prior to this, it doesn't sound like it.
