Original guild wars was such a good game
I replied:
Yes! I love GW2, but I have a particularly soft spot in my heart for the original and still really enjoy playing it. The skill system can be a bit overwhelming, but it’s fun to have that much freedom + individualized instances and hero companions and everything. Also, Mesmer is my favorite class, so fabulous costumes, too :D :D :D

May. 23rd, 2024 02:56 pmYou can get quests that spawn higher level creatures, but only at level 10, and only once a day. Also, they only scale up every few levels. I’ve been intermittently working on it for months and didn’t even try for years, since I’m honestly not very good at games, though I love them.
So getting it at last is pretty exciting for me :D

May. 18th, 2024 03:35 pmI know it’s a 15-y-o game that most people don’t care about any more, but I am so close to getting Legendary Defender of Ascalon in Prophecies for the first time ever. !!!!!

me, someone who has written 90k of fic driven by raw frustration with GW2′s treatment of lore: HOW DARE

Oct. 8th, 2023 06:34 amI kind of love whoever it is on f_fa who keeps periodically bringing up Kormir and how gamer bro assholes whined about her ascension (and still do), but actually she's really cool. The anon isn't me, but I a) agree and b) appreciate that there's some random GW1 player out there going out of their way to bring up Kormir on f_fa and defend her in 2023, even though I'm pretty sure most of meme has no idea who they're talking about.
I was thinking about this because I'm kind of annoyed with all the "surprise! the revered gods are actually sketchy af" twists in fantasy media (despite really enjoying my oblivious cleric of Mystra in BG3). GW2 definitely threw several of the GW1 human gods under the bus as part of its handling of humanity, IMO (most notably Balthazar) but I doubt it'll ever fully happen with Kormir in particular, given how much effort was put into her heroic ascension to godhood back in Guild Wars: Nightfall. And I'd just checked meme for the first time in months and seen someone bringing up Kormir again, so ... <3

oh, what the hell
Apr. 13th, 2012 11:30 amI'm careful with money - I usually don't even buy lunch when I'm in Portland all day. But apparently all those skipped meals counted for something, because I had way more money in my account then I expected. So I looked at my Guild Wars 2 e-mail, and then at my account, and then at the GW2 pre-order, and decided that I needed it in my life. GW2 > lunch!
And then...whatever, I still have seven thousand dollars left over, I think I can afford thirty-five dollars. So now I have my paid dw account back. ICONS, GLORIOUS ICONS.
/I regret nothing

Days 19 & 20
Apr. 12th, 2011 08:15 amI'm now ... ten days behind on the meme? Ack, university. Also taking a new Guild Wars character, who might maybe be a warrior-monk inspired by the Once Upon A Time verse and named Lucy Starkiller because I am that subtle, to the level cap without leaving the tutorial zone. It goes towards the Guild Wars 2 awards and I desperately need a rainbow jellyfish.
