Guild War Site?
I pre-ordered and will be in the Weekend Events. We cannot tell how much staying power GW will have but I am sure I will like it for a while to come, and especailly so with a bunch of likeminded folks to venture with.
There is this nagging question whether to WoW or GW. I cannot afford the time to play both games with my current RL commitments so I would have to pick just one. While I don't mind paying a monthly fee to play a GOOD game, and I have no idea how good WoW is, but it is a huge draw back against WoW - Not (just) to myself or anyone willing to pay to play, but more so, have to do with gaming behavior.
Even if GW turns out to be somewhat less than WoW (maybe we are comparing apples to oranges here, I don't know) but remains a good game, I see that GW will have more staying power than WoW for this community. And this is the KEY point - We eventually will get tired of any game.
We started with Classic Diablo the awesome originally and then moved onto D2 and LoD. Tho D2 does not measure up to CD but most of us stayed with D2, and some eventually moved on and not play Diablo at all. However, many come back to Diablo, and quit, and come back... Why, because it is a "good" game and there is a community behind it. This behavior I see with GW. WoW's monthly fee will prevent the causual WoWer from staying and going back.
I am going to buy GW based on the above, and taking the plunge preparing for a RBGW site and opening up a GW forum. I think we have enough folks interested in the game to get a good start and have a good time together. So lets gather some info/inputs:
There are other issues we want to deal with once we get a forum going, issues such as how competitive we are going to be in terms of world wide tournaments and events, which will in turn dictate how some of our characters will be build and team makeup, etc..
- I have with my preorder, a pass for one friend for one Weekend Beta Event for those who have not tried the game yet. Who else preordered and want to pass along their invitation?
BTW, a preorder cost from 5 to 10 bucks depending on where you shop. When I got mine from the local EB, the sales person made it sound like I didn't even have to pay for it.
- Who is planning to buy the game?
Hehe, I am one of those fashion nuts Sirian mentioned. I won't allow any of my characters to wear any form of a cap for this many years until recently I made a variant to wear one - Alley Baba with a (Harlequine Crest) Hardly Davidson cap ;p I was at first put off with the PINK but a touch of the brightness control tuned it down to magenta, and the rising sun and fading rays took a big junk off the pink. I havn't read anywhere yet custom logo is going to be a feature so we may be left with what GW supplies.
- If you have a color preference, what is it?
- Which stock logo? I will try to grab some screenies of logo this weekend.
- And the most important of all. I NEED help/contributors to keep the GW site fresh. I can't go at it alone to keep the site "fresh" and hope to log on decent game hours too. It need not be much work for the GW staff if we have a few willing souls.
I am planning to incorporate some kind of forum ware on the front page so contributors can easily update the site in the form of a post. All we need is news flash to share, update of events, links, etc. And of course writing stories and articles only if you want to. In the case when you need to include more material than appropriate for the front page, I will html and upload it to its proper place.
Come on people, lets see some hands

We are so fashion conscious, after all!
In a good mood, eh?
