i dont think there are any servers on guildwars, but it's been awhile since I played. I didn't care too much for the game it was ok.

Elph is correct (unless things have changed) you chose Europe or America when you sign up and thats it. Otherwise everyone is together (even Europe and America are together in a way but they have to go to special zones to group and fight)

Our guildwars forum on the previous site hadn't had any posts in more before we were hacked so I doubt many KGB still play.

The game is really fun for a week or so, but I got bored very quickly.

Fleeting gets bored as of late. SB was his game, and mine, that was such a good game

a bit I guess but I tend to play my primary mmorpg about 40 hours a week. So it has to be a pretty special game to keep my interest for over a year. WOW made 6 months which isn't bad but Shadowbane is the only game to break a year and I guess I played that for 2 years. Thats like 4000+ hours of shadowbane OMG!

Guildwars wasn't worth the $50 imo.

Fleeting i am surprised your wife didn't divorce you lol...

If you didn't know I'm in a wheelchair and unable to work. I Get up with her at 6am and play games while she works and then generally spend the evening with her. No need to worry I know people are more important than games.

It's a pretty cushy life style being a cripple has its benifits lol

You could work at the recycling plant crushing cans with your wheelchair ^^

That would eat into my gaming time

Just been making money with casino bonus's this week. Made about $1000 This week which has cleared my overdraft which is nice. Pretty much run out of good bonus's now though. But still Can't complain. I also forgot to cancel my xbox 360 preorder when I managed to get one from somewhere else. So I made about $400 profit selling that on ebay.

Unfortuantly my wife brings in most the money to the household, I'd love to contribute more but its not possible. Still if she minded she wouldn't have married me.

Hehe :P Actually that can crushing job sounds pretty appealing to me right now.

Ahh fleeting i didn't know that. Mind if i ask howcome? If i am being too nosey you don't have to answer!

how you liking the xbox 360? OR did you sell the box on ebay ? People are paying out the butt for it.
Posted By: Garal Re: guild wars? - 12/12/05 11:21 PM
It sounds like he had preordered one and then bought one from a store when they released and then sold the one that he had preordered on ebay.

yeah Kinda. I preordered from gameplay on the 3rd day of any preorders so was pretty confident of getting one, two weeks before release they told me they weren't getting enough. I was lucky enough to find another retailer that just had stock for the day and preordered with 2 weeks to go.

So I got my xbox 360 on launch day and its fantastic, I'd forgotten about the other order till it arrived on my door, since my friends that wanted one already had one I stuck the extra one on ebay for about $400 US profit.

Elph, no I don't mind you asking at all. I have muscular dystrophy which is a muscle degenarative condition. So I was bascially fine till 8 or so, walked till 18 (though very badly for the last few years) then have been confined to a wheelchair for the last 7.

Yes it has some really nasty problems but overall I still think I'm very lucky. There is many millions of people worse of in the world than me. I have a beutifull wife and get to spend my days doing what I enjoy. While physically I continue to get worse its still never really stoped me doing anything I've wanted too, I've been sky diving, diving in the red sea, been to Vegas, Paris, Newyork, Isreal, Florida, Niagra Falls.

I do have to accept I can't do things without others any more which becomes a big deal when my wife has to go away for 3 weeks to south africa. But you get by.

Sorry for messing up your thread niketon.

I always like knowing things about people outside of gaming. Thanks for sharing Fleeting. Now I know why you have the massive amounts of game time. I'm jealous.
Posted By: Elph Re: guild wars? - 12/13/05 12:22 PM
Wow fleeting, I can imagnie it would be hard to have to adjust to being in a wheelchair. You must have a wonderful wife, we already know you are a fantastic guy!

I would really kill to go to some places that you've been to. IT's graet that you have a good look on life and don't let it hold you back!
Posted By: Fleeting Re: guild wars? - 12/13/05 01:10 PM
Going into a wheelchair was easy. from 15-18 walking was really hard and a bit dangerous. I always worried how will I get up from here, will I get knocked over walking accross a busy bar for example. But It was always a challange to myself that I would walk out the school gates at 18 and wasn't willing to fail. So once school was done and I was going to university I was able to go into a wheelchair without any bitterness towards it and it was actually a relief. Most of the big worries I had were gone.

Someone who gets hit by a car and ends up in a wheelchair has it way harder than I did IMO. Suddunly your life is turned upside down. Every challange I have comes slowly and you find a way through it.

Yeah My wife is fantastic. I'm not sure I'd still be around though if it wasn't for meeting her. Facing the fact when I was about 20 that things are getting worse and soon I was going to be total burden on the people I care about was hard. I had to decide if me being around was good for the people around me or not. Things turned out great, I got lucky. No idea how long I'll live, not going to worry about it. Life is there to be enjoyed and to share that enjoyment with those you love and care about. Otherwise whats the point?

Things do get harder as time goes on but we both manage and have a very happy life. There is no point being bitter. It gets you no where. No point being upset about things you can't change.

Yeah I've been very lucky with all the fantastic places I've visited. Unfortunatly as I get worse it is holding me back more but I've done enough in my life to be very happy with it so I won't let it get me down. Andrea is going to Australia in Febuary to visit her sister but I won't be able to go. 12 hour flights are a bitch when you can't go to the toilet on them but they are doable. But the near 24 hours to Australia is just too much. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and can go first class and pay for a couple of big blokes to come with me to help me.

Maybe we should split these posts from the guildwars thread lol. I don't think a thread has ever gone so off topic before.
Posted By: Elph Re: guild wars? - 12/13/05 01:26 PM
I can try to split not sure if it will work lol

Well noone knows for sure how long they will live anyway. So enjoying each day is what is important. Wow 24 hrs to fly to australia crazy!
let me see if i can split the thread.
