Yup I’m going all retro like kill ten rats and taking my first steps into the world of all things Guild Wars in the hope of accumulating some Hall of Monument points prior to the release of Guild Wars 2.
Helping me along the way and making things a little less painful will be my trusty bro in law who thankfully agreed to join me since he himself wasn’t playing anything at the minute. Also a special wee mention to Vic over at games and geekery for the slight steer and information he provided me on twitter. With all this in mind I’ve made a start to Guild Wars Nightfall and will hopefully progress from there.
With regards to SW:TOR I’ll going to let my subscription lapse for a month or so and perhaps pick it back up further down the road after I’ve had my fill of Guild Wars. Looking at my raptr stats I had logged in around 170 hours which in the space of a month is a tad excessive for me to be honest and even placed it second in my most played list, this isn’t entirely accurate as I’ve switched between x-fire/raptr and using nothing frequently but I’ll be keeping an eye on my times for guild wars to see how it grabs me ( I wonder if anything will displace WoW from my top spot at over 700 hours played).
Anyway with the announcement of Arenanet preparing the open beta for Guild Wars 2 I better get a move on and get me some points 
I never really got into Guildwars. I played it when it first came out so I’m sure it’s an improved product. Don’t think I’m going to jump into this one though… at least not at first. I think I’ll wait and see how it shakes out in the first few weeks/months. In the meantime I’m casually playing SWTOR trying out the different classes etc.
Yeah its a bit of a strange game and if you are soloing like I am its more of a micro management game than anything else.
I’m still plugging away at it though as I really want to get some hom items for guild wars 2. Ironically I got bored of swtor and its lack of grouping options, it was just too linear for my liking and the PvP was an afterthought. If it moved to a free to play model I would return but as of now its guild wars until I get into either the guild wars 2 or tera beta.
