Some Noob questions
surreal
Hey guys,
I'm currently playing WOW and the fact that battlegrounds still isn't out is making me consider cancelling my account. I've been reading about guild wars and I had some questions.
1. I read in the FAQ that there are only 20 levels and that leveling isn't a grind...how much play time does it take to get to lvl 20 then? Am I looking at a month of playing or like a week?
2. Also, I read that there was no real "transportation" in the game...so how to do you go from city to city?
3. How do you go about getting quests? And are there noob zones for ppl to lvl up? Are the noob zones friendly to solo'ers or are you expected to go as a party?
4. Is there a max number of ppl in a group/party?
5. How does the economy work in the game? Can you buy/sell anything you pick up? Is there a random rolling system to decide who gets loot?
Thanks =D

then the game starts
you teleport to any place you have reached on foot
no zones except the intro tut area but it is so big most people thought it was the game
big shock when they went through the academy at level 3-? and found out what they had been playing was a spot on the map
depends on level 2-8 at later levels
no camping
no pkers
no loot steling
no random encounters except cities camps outposts
no mining crafting logging etc
mostly salvage things into basic parts
bow may give wood, bone etc
armor may give rune steel etc
items are assigned by random drop to a person no first grab first get
edit
there are free henchmen (npc) if you cant grab or dont want a party
i solo only the missions and explorable areas

worthless
i was reading about battlegrounds, and it looks like a sad attempt at copying GW. they also had a PvP thing that was see who kills 1,001 (not an exageration, you really have to kill 1,001) monsters first... how is this PvP and seriosuly how is killing the same monster 1,001 times competative?

[QUOTE=Freyas]It takes 40-60 hours of play time for an average player to reach level 20 if they're trying for it. You can probably do it in less if you try hard, or more if you spend time idling/trading/exploring, etc.
it makes me wonder what you exsacly gonna do after you max your lvl in 5 days?

lolz maybe but still you have to do something exsept killing athers dont you think?
Kityn
Guild Wars IS all about killing stuff.PvE.PvP.There are tons of quests.Lots of missions.100s if not 1000s of items.Just because you max out at level 20 does not mean you have reached your full potential.Like everyone says the real fun begins at level 20.

What do you do when you graduate from High School? It only has 12 "levels".
Life isn't over, in fact most people think it hasn't even begun yet.

The low max lvl puts greater emphasis on interacting with more people at once and grouping with them. When you have characters from lvls 1-60+ that take months or years to get that high, you aren't allowing a good freedom of interaction between the characters. It is just a race and those that put in the most time will reap the benefits first. But when you set it to a max of lvl 20 that can be obtained in a few weeks or days, depending on how much you play, you are allowing for a higher amount of people around the same lvl earlier and longer to enjoy the game together, making it a lot easier to get groups for PvE and PvP.
