Guild Wars: The Eve Project!
After a recent rant in the general discussion forum about how good Guild Wars was, I got to thinking about how much I enjoyed it. The only problem was...there were no decent players around to play it with.
What im thinking of doing, is forming a new Guild Wars guild, and playing it fairly seriously; not at the expense of Eve, but with the intention of certainly playing enough to enter the competition ladders and have a go at the World Championships next season. I used to play Guild Wars in a top PvP guild, but we eventually disbanded due to lack of playtime from the members.
Eve players, in general, have the right attitude for playing something like Guildwars, and I think it would be interesting to see how a guild full of Eve players gets on. So here's the criteria:
- Must have played at least some Guild Wars, preferably with PvP experience. You must be confident in yoru abilities to become a strong PvP player.
- Must have knowledge of team build, team strategy style gaming (knowledge of games such as CCGs is helpful here), though not neccessarily specifically with GW.
- Must have excellent voice communications skills (teamspeak) and a solid understanding of how to work as a team member.
- Must be prepared to put some time in for guild matches, and practice, particularly at the start of the project. The guild will be European timezone based, but anyone who can play on European (GMT) times is welcome to apply.
That's pretty much it, really. As I see it, this game is there for the taking, and given the right players, a serious shot at the $100,000 cash prizes is very feasible.
Will be looking for a minimum of 8 players for guild competition play, preferably a few more up to about 12, depending on how this goes.

I have Guild Wars Collectors Edition, but never played it much, cause the problem in Guild Wars is that if u dont have a guild, u mainly are playing a Single Player game. I might consider getting back to the game and help u guys with the project :)
I play necro/mesmer, its my favourite combination.

I got it for Xmas and has it finished within a week then got bored. Found the same thing - if you don't have many people in the guild or not many people to play with it becomes depressingly dull, and idiots generally make a hash of FoW or Underworld.
Something like this would be quite cool perhaps. I have a Warrior/Elementalist char and a Necro/Mesmer I am working on.

i would love to get into GW, I liked the basics but stopped playing due to the complete lack of community. I was in a guild with some of my corp, but it died a death. Sign me up. I'd like to think that its a good game.

I once made a character in Guild Wars that was quite a show. The more melee he faced the stronger he became, basically when damaged he gains energy and that energy is used to restore him, alternatively when damaged all surrounding enemies are damaged as well by 2 different spells.
Imagine the looks on some peoples faces when I'd take them on a farming show and not have any weapon equipped. It was a Warrior Monk just so you know.

Guild Wars is not a PvE game. The PvE game is just something to do to learn how skills work :P

i got bored and sold it to a m8 within 3 days of buying it. The pvp is crap compared to eve. And the pve and storyline is too childish for me, elves and orcs etc. sounds like a 10 year olds imagination. --------------------------------------------

Guild Wars PvE is fun for a week or two, but its all about PvP. GvG is brilliant, and so is the Hall of Heroes. You don't NEED a guild to enjoy PvP as you can get with some very good teams in HoH, but to compete in GvG (which is the best part of GW imo) you will need a good guild with decent players. If you played Guild Wars and haven't tried PvP in HoH or GvG, you are missing out big time.

Guild Wars is, cunningly, all about the Guild Wars. As CyanideX said, you havent seen what the game is capable of until youve played HoH. It's very, very different to Eve PvP - there's a lot more emphasis on skill and micromanaged team tactics, and your communications have to be better. It's not a better game, as it has PvP and nothing else, but the PvP is superior to Eve in many ways.
Either way.....if you're interested in playing GW seriously, played it and never found a capable guild, etc, drop me a line.

There's a lot of new PvP content about to be added, and also two new professions. Lots to do there. Now, if we can just find a few more people, maybe Eve-GW could be a go :P

A few people have evemailed/msn'd me etc. Hopefully we'll be able to have maybe a couple of games tonight, and get a feel for what everyone is about.
If anyone else is interested, and thinks they meet the criteria, please get in touch.

For what's worth, it appears Guild Wars is at this very moment running their Global Free-For-All PvP Weekend ... this event lasts until Sunday midnight, and basically allows to try the PvP part of the game for free, as long as you can download the game client from their web page. It's possible to create pre-built max level character as soon as you launch the game, and see what it's all about.
Not really my kind of game from the little i got to play, but guess some might want to check it out given it doesn't cost anything at the moment ^^;

Been playing it since I guess it came out. Pretty much unlocked all the skills/spells through killing other players (Faction + pvp). It's fun still here and there but the skill and balance just isn't there. It's all about the build and that's it. Wish it was skilled tactical pvp like eve but simply it's not. Simple systems for simple games.

Aint Guildwars PvP like playing Quake III arena. You go to a PVP server and just shoot. Its a seperate server right? And from what I hear Guildwars is a game that once you leave the city you disconnect from the world and enter a single player game with the group of people you have in your group. but all you do is fight stupid NPCs and make gold? I cant see myself even giving it a try. Dont just complain, do something. Channel macrointel meet with likeminded folks, spottings,intel |

Guild Wars is OK if you aren't expecting something deep. Too many people go 'omgwtf its liek diablo it suxs!' (eh, Hugo? ;P) but it's cool in its own way. Unfortunately, I didn't have the patience to grind till the PvP halls, I got stuck at the ascension trials, so I doubt I'll join you, but good luck anyway! ___

Again, Guild Wars only becomes deeper the further up you play. The game is definitely not all about the build when you play against top guilds; theres a massive amount of skill, tactics, communication etc involved. Its not similar to Eve in its style, but I think its similar in the complexity and teamwork required, which si why I think Eve players will make awesome GW players.
Keep those evemails (etc) coming...we'll have a good squad soon!

I tried to get into it, but couldn't. Not my kind of game I guess.. I do like RPG style PvP, but with a bit more freedom of movement and optional solo play. (Think Dark Age of Camelot)

We can get you past that, its really not a problem. If youre up for the pvp, let me know, we'll sort something out!

I am interested
Call me.
BTW, you all know that the programmers of Guildwars are former Blizzard programmers for Diablo series, yea?
Also, this PvP weekend may be a promo for their upcoming expansion to Guildwars. Last I heard it was due to be out in February 2006 but havent heard any news about it for a long time. ----------------
