    1. Game with a buddy whenever possible. Makes this game exponentially better. If you don't know anyone who plays try and group up with others in your zone.

    2. Don't force anything or make it seem like you HAVE to do something particular just go with the flow.

    3. Have fun. This isn't WoW, your not paying a sub fee. Kind of goes with number 2, you're not rushed by any means and can stop and start at will. Take the game for what it is and enjoy!

      Also any kind of lingo, or shorthanded terms that may be used to describe things in this game that someone who doesn't play a ton of MMOs wouldn't understand? I don't want to be completely lost if I join a group and that start talking about things in the MMO or Guild Wars terms.

        The only thing they'd be talking about that you wouldn't know is names of zones/instances. For the most part its all relative, and the only way to learn the zones is to play.

          Finally Spectator Mode(beta) for pvp is coming.

          Let’s say you’re an sPvP guild who wants to scrimmage a friendly guild so you can both work on your strategies. Or maybe you want to be able to watch one of your friends play so that you can see what they’re doing and how they’re using their skills. Perhaps you’re playing in a hot-join game and you just got destroyed by someone, and you want to look at how they’re playing and what skills their using. Or, better yet, let’s say I just want to set up one-on-one duels inside my guild, pitting two players against each other, while the rest of the guild watches. Or maybe all I want to do is find a place where only my friends and I can play where we can’t be interrupted by other players.


          I’m happy to say that, beginning April 30, you’ll be able to do all that in Guild Wars 2.

          Not a full patch list yet but a general rundown of what's being added for next week, link.

          Time to farm SAB skins before they remove it.

            Lion’s Arch honors the defiant spirit of its citizenry with the rousing Dragon Bash festival, when revelers laugh in the face of fear! Sponsored by the Captain’s Council of Lion’s Arch, Dragon Bash is a month-long celebration packed with all-new activities, fireworks, exclusive rewards, and surprises galore! The festival begins on June 11 and ends on July 9.

            I hope they've got a Canthan expansion in the works. Some of the city designs reminds me of the Dragon Festival from GW1 which was held in Cantha.

              I have a serious MMO itch, but nothing seems semi interesting. Is the game still decently populated?

                    Woot AC! There's a game I haven't played for a few months. Actually played for a couple months when they resurrected AC2 not too long ago.

                    To keep this on topic... GW2 seems to have more than enough community to keep the game going.

                      GW2 adds so much content each month that it keeps people coming back. I'm personally waiting for an expansion (if that is even happening) before I get back into my level 80 stuff.

                        Any idea why Guild Wars 2 isn't on Steam? All I can find there is the first one.

                          The only thing I can think of right now, aside from ANet just not wanting it on steam ATM is the fact that they'd have to work out some type of deal for the cash shop to be able to use the steam wallet.

                          I also remember at release they had to stop selling the game for a bit because they couldn't handle the demand for it - though that is now a non issue.

                              I'm thinking of getting back into it. It's a well made game and I enjoyed my first playthru as an ele but I just feel theres a lack of overall purpose that stops me from getting sucked it long term...
