This game starts to wear out after a while

in Guild Wars
Just to tell the people that started playing Guild Wars this game after a while will start getting on your nerves and you will not like it anymore. It took me 8 months to get tired of it
Comments
Yeah, you can get tired of almost anything if you do it all the time.
Took me about 4 or 5 months to tire of GW the first time. Then I went back into it recently and it took me another 2 or 3 months or so to want a change again. I've said it before, but it's worth saying again, that's the advantage of GW you can leave and return to it anytime and not feel like you've wasted your subscription money...cause you aren't paying anything.
I've had the last 2 weeks not playing GW much at all, playing some Xbox and PS2 stuff, as well as some RTS for a bit of a change. I know that in a couple of weeks I'll be back into GW and finish up all my chars on the Factions missions, then I'll be ready for the next expansion.
That's the real beauty of the game, since there's no monthly, there's no preasure to play. That, and characters are persistant, so you won't need to grind at all ever to be competative.

- playing a game that pulls a 180° in design philosophy after release and turns into an EQesque clone at the endgame after having spent over 180 bucks on it and way too much time..... Priceless? no sad
i m still happy as ever with Guildwars and play regulary since a year too.
wow, WoW is at $29.99 now? man, they're ripping us off on my side of the world ...
over here, it's still selling for about US$50
Good analogy
You have to be a PvP enthusiast to fully appreicate this game, as that is what it involves mostly during end game.
If you're like me, and don't like to PvP much thats probably why you became bored of it, but 8 months is still a good amount of time playing a game such as GW since it doesn't require much grinding. Only farming for equips to sell or use at most could be considered grinding.

lol yeah afetr awhile it lowers. ^_^
you should try using eBay or some so. :P
I have been playing GW since the 2nd Beta weekend...and I still LOVE this game. I have had to take a few weeks off becaue of school, but besides that I play pretty much everyday. I understand the other games (WoW, Eq, City of Heroes/Villains) need to keep their servers up and running, I just don't see shelling out 150.00 a year just for the opprotunity to play their game.
I will stay with GW as long as I love the game, heck I still play D2......on occasion
Well, peace out folks!!

You seem like an avid GW fan or should I say FANBOY! Just a note: You don't have to play factions
Another note: Cheaper doesn't mean better.
Mabey because not everyone is like you.
Plus the PvE is...well...agrivating....
question
can you switch from pve to pvp?

You don't have to play factions but I added it in there to make the point that even with gwf it is still cheaper than WoW. Why didn't you make the point that you don't have to play burning crusade either? Cheaper may not always mean better, however if it's better (which gw is) AND cheaper (which gw also is) then it's all around just better... And as to the fanboy comment, thanks, I like others to know where my loyalty stays.
I just wanted to add a couple of things.
Yes you can switch from PvP to PvE and back again whenever you want. All you gotta to is swap out any skill changes you wanna make, swap around any attributes you wanna change, or even just jump right in. They've made it very easy for everyone to respec their character whenever and however they want.
As far as GW getting boring, let me first say that I get bored of games real fast usually. The difference for me with Guild Wars is that I never felt like I was losing anything if I didn't play for a month or whatever. I play the game casually and still have not seen about 40% of the game. (I've been playing for over a year) The game world really is quite big. You can burn through it all quickly if you really want, or you can take your time and get alot of enjoyment out of it.
The thing you have to remember though is that everyone gets bored of games at different rates. I got bored of WoW in 6 months or so (I burned through the game, and I didn't feel like there was anything to do at the endgame besides sit on a raid for 6 hours, and frankly while I did that with EQ, I grew out of that and now have a social life which tends to preclude me from sitting at home on the computer for 6 hours on friday night waiting for an item that may drop and I might have a chance of winning).
I still think WoW is possibly the best MMO out there. However, the game started to become less and less fun, and the monthly fee became something less and less necessary. So I canceled my subscription. With Guild Wars, if I get bored of it for a while, I don't have to play it, and if I ever decide to try it again, my account will be there waiting for me faithfully.
