februarie approacheth

as the wet and warm january comes to an end (yes i ate to much curry) a new month is almost upon us. that month would be... February... it's never been a month that has held any significance to me personally... yet, due to the decision of one man and his warrior toon, it has become landmark

could this be the last year of playing gw1?

i sure !@#$ing hope so. come on arenanet you can do it...

So... the point of this post?

to get some idea of what everyone wants to do on tuesday nights... think about it... vote on it, and then we'll move forward... I propose that we go through the list i have come up with and number from 10 to 1, 10 being the best option and 1 being the worst. We'll add up the numbers and then get on with it... sound ok...?

A - Vanquish some more (starting with Elona)

B - Elite Missions - Like Urgoz Warren and Sorrow's Furnace

C - Eye of the North Dungeons

D - Missions in Hard Mode

E - Work on getting more Hero armour through various challenge missions

F - Crank up some allegiance titles - Like Norn, Ebon Vanguard etc

G - Keep going with Guild Wars: Beyond - starting by finishing the War in Kryta content

H - Have a solid crack at the underworld or fissure of woe

I - Work through some content with different characters

J - Have some runs together of Jade Quarry - competitive mission

Putting the RP back in MMORPG

Whilst it's a little long, please stick with me and read this, as there's an important question at the end.

One of the exciting things about guild wars 2 is the renewed focus on the role playing aspect within the game. Whilst, compared to many other games like WoW, GW1 wasnt too bad in this area, GW2 is going to really focus on it.

It all starts from the beginning when we're asked a number of questions. If you dont care, you can just make it random and move on, but if you do you can shape your story the way you like. For a human you are first asked about social class. You can choose to be noble, a commoner or a street rat. Then we will be asked about our biggest regret - the options being a dead sister, growing up never knowing your parents or never joining the circus. There may be other options or questions added down the line. You are also asked some questions they are calling "racial sympathy questions", which show whether you like, hate or are indifferent about other races such as hyleks, grawl etc.

The next bit is really to do with personality. you get to divide 100% of your personality between charm, dignity and ferocity. This apparently even changes appearance slightly. As the game goes on, these points change depending on the decisions you make. They are really pushing the story - you save a village and they'll remember you, people will show up in your home base (like HoM but your home) and thank you, or give you stuff??? who knows where they'll take it...

So... one thing I was wondering about is how much you guys care about this stuff. I was looking at starting another blog to be about the story of my character(s). So, I would write as if it's a journal of their journey through gw2. Before I pick a name for the blog, I wanted to know if any of you were interested in doing this too - then we could use the same site. I'll probably just do it with one character.

Please dont put shit on me if you dont like the idea, or slam me about thinking about gw2 too much. I'm over it. Just a simple, no thanks will suffice. Thanks

I'm not really sure what I think about this...

A pretty interesting story; a girl who was big into WOW died in real life and her friends held an in game memorial for her.

During the 'funeral' another Guild rocks up and 'ganks' them all. I have to admit, they did it pretty smart arsely.

Thoughts?

I won't be back on until the start of...
