Zaishen Quest Workaholics

[Lurker Wyrm]

So, with the new Zaishen quests around and (at least, for now) them being character based, I thought it would be a good time to start a thread about having a timeslot when we know other people will be online in case we want to group together to get them done.

For me, the best time would be around 7PM EDT since I'm generally available on that day, every day. After 11PM would also work, but I'm less likely to be lucid by that point.

All times pacific:

Mon/Wed: Noon - 5pm most likely
Tue: After 5pm, if I can make it
Thu: 5pm - 7:30pm
Fri/Sat/Sun: Will vary depending on what I'm doing, but should be available during the night on at least one of those days

This is how they are going to stay.

I like storage bags and all, but it's just too much to be able to do it all.

I don't think I'd be able to do them all, and I am fairly certain that I won't be able to do them repeatedly to get my characters heaps of gold coins. However, I do like the idea of times to tackle these kinds of quests. Regular players will be maxing out their titles, so there's not a lot of reason to log back on. Of course, there are PvP pursuits--which was the original intent of the game (see: [url=http://gamervision.com/gamer/coop/blog/article/interview_guild_wars]Gamervision's Interview with Colin Johanson[/url). However, the PvP players are the clear minority of GW players, and the learning curve for PvP is rather steep.

The whole issue of why PvP declined from its opening days is worth a discussion on its own.

For me, the coin reward is secondary to the whole excuse that the Zaishen quests give me to get online and pursue some part of the game that I might not otherwise do. The quests also give nice rewards toward titles. My Sunspear and Lightbringer are maxed, but they're the only maxed faction titles I have. The Zaishen quest gives decent points toward the various titles that I find are more appealing than the coin rewards.

I generally play weekend afternoons Eastern Time, or around 9:30-11:30pm at night. Afternoon play is disrupted whenever I have to do something like, well, paint the house.
