Do people still play this game?
eagle26
I got bored of it a month after it came out because I had reached level 20 and accumalted 600k of gold and there wasnt much to do besides guild battles.. what keeps you playing this game?

halloween!
other than that i find that trying to think up new builds occupies quite a bit of my time in GW. and conversing with guildmates about their builds as well. i also have a looooooong attention span

I say the same to you that I say to others:
"Getting to level20 quickly is the idea, level is not important, if your bored go play another game"
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
what keeps you up at 4am posting on forums; questioning yourself play'n games?
Too bad not a virtual MMO like .hack// then people wouldnt be asking stupid questions.
Here let me ask you some dumb questions...
Why do people still play counter strike?
why do people still play starcraft?
why do people still play on a console like xbox; then to go online with xbox live and play halo 2 for billions of hours and still acumulate nothing?
now for the easy anwser: its for pleasure.
dont get me wrong but those games i just listed are boring as shit to me.

[sarcasm]nobody plays this game, that is why there are at daily basis so many posts on this site[/sarcasm]
You sound like a player that is not enticed by pvp. pve is not an evergreen in GW. Maybe you should find a more appropriate game. However this game still takes my interest, and many others.

Also, PvE is great still, if you mix up your regular areas a bit. I played Sorrows Furnace to death for a while, then went back to Ascalon (farming for Haloweeeeen items, and I got my first black dye drop there today. From a grawl).
Edit - I was in that conga line the screenshots link to. Twas quite the fun night.

Alas, poor Rurik bites the dust and comes back undead. Sorry for the spoiler. I loved him too, until I had to beat his arse down to cap hundred blades. Then you might not like him sooo much. =)

heh i keep playing coz, like you, i was bored within a month. took two or three months off... and now it's fun again. just coz its online doesn't mean you have to play it constantly. I do this with all my games. Means they're fresh and exciting when I go back to them after a lengthy break.

The right to post snide remarks in threads of this manner.

Showing off your ubber farming (or ebay buying) abilities or just bored enough to start yet another redundant thread? If you farmed 600k in one month, I'm sure you can find very interesting games such as WoW or EQ2 to grind forever to get the next PvE carrot. Meanwhile we'll have fun playing GW (if you don't mind, that is).

Why do we play? Cause it's fun, that's why.
Not fun for you anymore? Then go play another game, you silly griefer.

i hate gw personally. ever since my paladin got uberpwned by this gay mesmer in the random arenas, ive been sitting in my room and crying.

If you've finished PvE you might want to try a new primary profession and play the game again - some quests are only available for certain professions. Try a mesmer, Necro or monk etc.. And do UW, FoW, SF and Titan quests.
Can you do that EVERY day? Anyone can make 100k in 10 minutes if they have the uber-items to sell in LA.
..or if you do a lot of forgerunning, I guess.

I still play this game after many months (about 6 now, I think). The reason it does not get boring? PvP and nice friends in the game.

reading these posts keeps me on the game.

Still play the game, took a month or two off, but been playing since it came out of beta. Having a blast sinse SF came out and finishing off all the little things in Pve
600k in the month is not a possible for majority anymore. No more "targeted" farming for the same items at the same locations and most or all of the zones with the removal of the "free" chests for the most part and the new chests (that require keys), and monster group(s) changes to prevent botting.

I keep playing because I have to. I'd be drinking ale with the hunters in pre-searing if I had the choice, but partying up with folks like Aron here does make the endless running of Nolani a little more fun.

I still didn't do all the pve parts because NOBODY WANTS TO!!!! ;_;
So I'm still trying
If anyone can help me with Defend North Kryta [please please! nobody wants to ;_; And we all know how good the npcs near that area are]
All the Sorrow's Furnace quests with farming in the mix. [except for the Summit Slaves quest]
Will add to friends list if needed.

I see myself in that first pictures
. also. Theres no possible way that u couldve gotten 600k in a month as a noob.. since u only played for one month im sure that u were a noob, and u just bought that money of ebay . And everyone has their preference about games. U dont like guild wars but hundreds of others do. So dont come to them and say *o why do u still play this i got bored in a month* well no one gives a shit about u. their playing because they ENJOY it! weeeeeeee

Here is what keeps the game refreshing to me:
1.) Farming - Learning how to farm different groups like devourers, hydras,....etc with different characters.
2.) New characters - Use all 4 slots and find out what other professions are like. In turn you may change your secondary in one of your other characters once you find a good combo.
3.) Finishing the game - Oh, wait they added a new area (Furnace) and new quests! (Titan)
4.) Farming for green items - Some of these are especially hard to get in the Furnace!
5.) Running - Learning how to run from Beacon to Forge, or to War Camp, or Citadel, and running a few missions....etc.
6.) Finding the best armor/weapons - UW or FoW, getting different 15k armor for my differnt characters.
*Doing all this by playing the game and not buying gold on ebay makes for a much more enjoyable game!

Thankfully I got the game early so there were still plenty of people in the PvE areas playing, so I got my fill of that. Had good PUG's, bad PUG's, Leeroy's and leaders... good times. Now however, the PvE areas are thin, good PUG's are getting harder and harder to come by, and everyone is either looking for a "run to X" or farming. So I bid farewell to Guild Wars PvE about a month ago.
PvP just doesn't entertain me, at least not for long periods of time. I still enjoy jumping into a quick CA match or amuse myself by seeing how far an IWAY group really can go, but that's it. The lack of variety in play modes makes it very stale, very quickly.
All that said however, I enjoyed the heck out of Guild Wars. I certainly got my money's worth out of it, and I'll be giving the expansion a serious look when it comes out next year. I played over 600 hours total, which is more than I ever get out of a game. GW also gave me a good primer on what online gaming could be. I discovered that PvP really isn't my cup of tea, but that I wanted a more involved PvE experience.
So... I picked up World of Warcraft. I know, I know... that automatically discredits me in this community, but I'm really enjoying the persistent world and the new take on PvE. We'll see if after 3 months I still want to plunk down my $15 a month for it, but for now I'm enjoying the new perspective.
Overall I more than got my money's worth from GW, both in terms of time spent playing, and the perspective it gave me regarding online gaming as a whole.

What keeps me playing this game?
-Good guild, good friends, good times together
-Strategy
-Little goals (clearing out UW, ascending all char types, getting kickass armor)
-Easy to fit into a busy schedule; a few minutes of PvP before work!
I have probably - haven't checked recently - over 1,000 hours spread over 7 characters and two accounts, first one purchased in May. I'm still itching to get home from work to see who's on, and what they're up to, and can I help?
OP, I'm really not sure what you want. Why aren't you still playing Chutes and Ladders or Uno or Monopoly or any other game forever and ever? Because it was time to move on.

I agree. It's having a good guild and making friends that keeps me playing. I've done pretty much everything you can do in this game, but I still enjoy it because of the people.

Well, I know for a fact that I can make 1.5 to 2 plat in a half an hour. With a level 20 w/mo and only using 2 monk skills. Level 20 can be hit in mere days. So, 600k is easily made in a month.
