Guild Wars 2

or cleverly disguise behind a paper mask.
Oh TF2 logic...

GW2 won't have a mailbox system, instead we'll be using pidgeons to send mail. Actual pidgeons, mind. Pretty nice for RP.

Yay! I like this idea.

They feel that RPers shouldn't need one specific server. But rather will support and help them on all. Aka, someone harrasses RPing and you'll be able to report it as harrassment anywhere.

And I'm quite sertain that RPers will pick a server for themselves to be on around launch. It happened for SWToR with "this is the RP server we're all going to" etc. So should with GW2.

So it's going to be servers like WoW and TOR instead of the old model with different district?

I used server as a way to separate things.
I yet do not know how they will devide.

I know that there will be central character storage. And that you'll be able to "visit" other "servers" and play there. (Aka, only -you- can have that exact name in the world)
The only limit you'll have will be WvW that you'll only be able to do for your "home". You'll be able to change home by payed character transfer. But if you've got friends on server a while you're from server b you'll be able to do almost everything with them without paying.

So, I think they're going with a mix between the old and the more "standard" model. They still have the central storage with easy to switch where you play. But with a home set for WvW.
They have that I believe so people will not just abuse it to sit with the powerful for WvW.

Apparently they're opening up Pre-Orders on April 10th. Collector's Edition gives you access to all Beta Events, and lets you play the game 3 Days before the proper release. However, its $150.




I guess I'll just be eating off sandwiches for a week, then. But still worth it.

Hmm, I should have some money somewhere in a box somewhere.

To clarify.
All pre-orders give access to all Beta Events and you get game access 3 days early.

The CE comes with an artbook, a figurine, a "best of" sound track, some big artwork prints.

Wait, what? 150 for a pre-purchase? Jesus fuck..

No, no! It's $150 to pre-purchase the Collector's Edition. Not sure what it is for just regular copies.

Muzjhath: Oh, I guess I can skip the eating sandwiches part, then \o/! All I want is early acess and beta events, though the Artbook and such is nice, it really isn't worth it, in my opinion.

That's still like.. roughly 1500 swedish crowns. That's more than my student support money which is 1050 swedish crowns. Fuck.

Anyone have any idea of the cost for the regular Pre-Purchace? Can't find it anywhere.

So, this is a guild idea I got some time ago.

It would be, either a personal millitary force, or a squad in a greater one.
It would be an RP guild who spent most of the time RPing on the WvW map. Specifically, the aim would be to get, defend, and play around, one specific tower. So, we'd grab the tower. Then RP as being the dedicated force defending said tower.
The tower wouldn't "belong" to the guild per say, but it'd be our mission to guard it from what ever hostile forces might come across.

The only thing I know is that if i make it the leader would be a human noble and I doubt I'd have any race restrictons. (If I did it'd be about those bloody ugly Asuras)

So. Does that sound like a sorta sound guild idea, or am I crazy?

Ignoring the facts that you'd probably be annoying people for not helping out elsewhere and 'wasting time', or inevitably get steamrolled by a group working towards a more strategical goal who also, probably, won't abide by any honorable, romantic PvP ideas you're probably having - sure, go for it.

Sticking to something in the PvE world is probably a better idea though, especially since it's not all static/non-challenging this time around.


In other news, they posted an article on their Microtransaction approach. I'm glad they went the EVE route.

Screw that, it's going to be a glorious immoral fest of gore and violence that shows the worst the mortal races are capable of when faced with the prospect of extinction.

Don't forget the lols, l2ps and omgusucks.

Well, you won't be able to communicate in the battlefield with the other servers in WvW. (If there is server forums there is always that)
I also feel having a force that defends a position would be good for it rather than bad. Also, who's to say we can't move out to target other important locations from time to time? It's not like it'd be "okay, we have the tower. NOw everyone stays the fuck here!"
It would be "okay, tower is ours. NOw lets wreak some havok while we don't lose it!"
I'm having no romantic fucking ideals at all. I just want to get the most out of WvW for getting a RP guild centered around war that could have really realistic feelings of actually being guards in a warzone.

Maybe hold on to that idea, there may be some dynamic quests that could capture that feeling too.

I heard there are no rp servers yet.

Thats because I think they want RP to be a more integral part of the game

Aslong as it's allowed and will be done. So you don't roll a server to find out all rpers are on another.
