[...] have been following Tipa’s adventures through guild wars for the past little while. They sounded interesting. All of the comments made it sound [...]

ooo, ooo…me, me…

I LOVE it…

Make sure to ask any questions you may have from us, we are very polite. (ok, I have been told I am not so polite…but, really I am, don’t listen to them)

You have the Eye of the North addon also, and with you starting with Prophecies, you have a long road ahead (Prophecies is the longest to play, with Nightfall being the easiest to level in I think), so enjoy Stargrace.

Careful of those dance parties in Pre-Ascalon though…they get kinda wild.

Went and picked up the platinum edition (only one that was for sale at EBGames here in Ottawa) of guild wars, played it for an hour or so (so far) …. lots of fun! Totally your fault, Tipa. How dare you introduce me to fun new games!

Well, one day a week is definitely not much, but may be it’s a good strategy to grow up your appetite. :)

As said by others there’s a lot of contents. If you continue play like this you will finish Nightfall story line by November. Don’t forget that there’s 3 campaigns and EOTN too, though. Plus a lot of stuff to do in addition to leveling.

As you seem to be a completitionist at this moment, I’d also recommend to buy all mesmer skills that are available…

Reinstalled and returned to GW last week and… oh dear, I’ve been there for like, forever!

My Nightfall toon is only lvl17 and sounds like he’s at about the same point of progression as yourself. Maybe I should really have started off with a totally new toon. This guys got a stupid name AND a comedy build, lol.

You’re not getting xp from mobs (or sunspear promotion points) because you’re pretty over-leveled for where you are. Neither of the two characters I’ve run seriously in Nightfall hit 20 until well after reaching the mainland. I’m not a completionist though, there are piles of quests lying around that I didn’t finish.

There is certainly a number of quests to do. I have taken two characters through Istan to 20 now; while a number of quests were the same for both there were also a number of them that I only did on one character. Especially those that triggers by a dialog when you pass by.

I also have a couple of other characters that play through Prophecies and Factions. I do like Prophecies post-searing although progression is a bit slower; the pre-searing part was a bit too slow and not that exciting IMHO. Factions also got more interesting after running through the first story-line mission in the monastery.

Money certainly starts to flow in better quantities when you get into the mainland, but I find myself still far from being able to obtain the armor that can be crafted from the NPC in the Consulate Docks. The fees are fine, but the material is something I do not have or can afford (at least the rare material). But it is something to strive for.

On the time factor …. One thing I really loved about Guild Wars was the fact that you could actually take the game in 1 hour chunks and still make progress. That makes it a terrific choice for casual players.

I am loving those collections. Salvage kits? Covered. Identify kits? Covered. Bags and bag expanders? Covered. Pieces of incredibly ugly armor? Covered. But why :P

Yeah, I am noticing all the new quests that crop up; I dutifully add them to the list :)
