If only I had the time…
It is Summer Game Fest and Guild Wars 3 has been officially announced! We already know it is being developed, didn’t we? But here we are now, with a brand new trailer even. Right after they announced the game, the official website for Guild Wars 3 went down. I guess there is a huge interest…

Guild Wars 3 announced! … What?
Apparently, Guild Wars 3 just got announced! Or, well, to be more precise, it was mentioned in an NCSoft shareholders meeting. This means that we know nothing except that it is in development. We have no idea about the setting, planned features, release window, etc. But what we can assume, at least, is that the…

Return to Guild Wars now!
As Massively notes, Guild Wars (1) doesn’t require a character name to log in anymore. Well, in my case, the recent change doesn’t make a difference. I always kept screenshots with the names of my characters and had all of my accounts’ characters in the same guild, so that I would not forget their names…

Promptapalooza No. 16: My earliest memory of Guild Wars
This Promptapalooza prompt was shared by Syp from Bio Break: “What is your earliest memory related to one of your core fandoms?” I decided to tell you about Guild Wars, because Guild Wars 2 has been the core of this blog for many years. I still have the email archived: “Join the Guild Wars Factions…

What’s the point in housing?
In a post musing about the problems with housing in MMOs, Roger from Contains Moderate Peril said that you can ask 100 players and will get 100 answers as to what makes good housing good. And this made me think when is housing good for me? For example, I love the housing in Rift and…

Screenshot Saturday: New dervish
I didn’t think ArenaNet would run sales for Guild Wars on Black Friday, but they did. So I bought a new character slot to play a new dervish on my main account. I do have two other accounts, but I never actively played on them. I like being able to send my new character whatever…

Gaming nostalgia: What about Guild Wars?
I think it was Rift with their Prime server that started the nostalgia trip into the beginnings of several MMOs. Rift Prime launched in March 2018 and community-wise it was nostalgia as everybody started new and there were no expansions out yet. Apart from that, it was the same as on the live servers. Still,…

Mixing my MMO
I am currently playing very different MMOs, because they each give me something I want from this genre while lacking in other areas. Elder Scrolls Online has this seemingly huge world to explore, but the housing is subpar. Guild Wars 2 doesn’t even have housing. But both games have a beautiful world! So, I thought,…

10 years: Guild Wars nostalgia
Guild Wars turned 10 years old this week. The original Guild Wars, of course, not Guild Wars 2 (which will be 3 years old this August, by the way). Back then I had just started to get into PC gaming and most of all, into MMOs. World of Warcraft had been my first MMO which…

Guild Wars 1 Nostalgia: Costume Maker
I deleted my norn mesmer yesterday. She was my second mesmer and my only norn, but no matter how hard I try, I just do not like playing the norn. I like their lore and everything, but I prefer small races (like dwarves, hobbits, gnomes, asura,…). I also needed that character slot for my new…

Winners of our Christmas giveaway
It’s a bit sad that this was our last giveaway. Should we ever receive more zaishen keys, oppressor or tormented weapons, minis, etc., we’ll definitely do this again. It was fun and we’re glad we could give people more points in their Hall of Monuments. Anyway, you’re not here to read that we had fun.…

Don’t worry, the 4th week giveaway is still up and running until December 23. But after that, there’s Christmas – of course – and we wanted to have a giveaway for that one as well. In the spirit of how we celebrate Christmas in Germany, this giveaway’s drawing will take place on the evening of…
