Guild Wars 2

[Douchebag]

I've been reading up on the lore and it seems done well enough, there's a lot of history and cool things to explore and experience.

I will almost certainly at least buy the game.

First game is worth a play if you want some more lore.

In terms of story (Your experince may differ)

Prophecies(1st one they did)>Nightfall(3rd)>Factions(2nd)>Eye of the north(4th) Although eye of the north is more like a prologue for Guild wars 2


Figured I'd post some videos of each races music main music when you are at a climax point in the story mode or doing a zone wide event (In the last case I heard the Charr music playing when we we're fighting the Shatterer. I think they also play during the zones climax aswell. Examples would be Shadow Behemoth, Ascalon ghosts and...I actually have no idea what the Norn one is.

And a great piano theme

Guildwars 2 is set 200 years after Eye of the North if I'm not mistaken. There are 2 books which cover the large gap. First book is Ghosts of Ascalon and the 2nd is Edge of Destiny. I am currently reading the first one and gives a lot of insight into the game.

Anyone that missed it

I just got me a beta key, are you guys huddled up on one specific beta realm?

[Grishnag]

Far Shiverpeaks is where we are in the beta
i think most of us are migrating to Desolation when the game gets release

oh incase people didnt know if you pre-purchased you get a 3 day headstart before the game goes like so august 25th is when it really begins

[Douchebag]

Going to see how the WvWvW plays out on launch, if an Rp realm is playing well I'll be going there

[Palmar]

I would like a RP realm.

[kawe]

If it's RP then petrified forest is the one you want, it would seem. My line of thinking is that GW2's similarities to Warhammer online, along with the way WvWvW is, point very strongly to "get on as high populated server as you can".

i prefer not to pick an RP servers how the server transfers work in this game

this sentence what is I don't how hey

[Grishnag]

i prefer not to pick an RP servers because of how the server transfers work in this game

hope that clears it up?

[kagemoth]

why not just pick the right server , then when people ask "Hey why aren't u transferring?" , you can say "Fools , i am on the right server alreay".

i think basicly that you take your characters with you when you go to a different server i dont think its like wow where you can just roll on a different server

[kawe]

Oh, right, yeah I encountered that actually when I changed in the last beta I played in away from.. whatever it was we were on at first.
