Guild Wars
I didn't want to do it, but I went out and bought Guild Wars today. Everyone else in the house has bought it and started playing this past week. I know Burr really loves playing these online games with me, so I decided to join in.

This is still a major deal for me because I'm still not much of a gamer. If you guys remember, WoW took two years of my life and slowed my artwork down to a crawl. I'm going to try to make sure this game doesn't do the same to me.

So why not continue WoW? Well, again, everyone in the house is playing Guild Wars now. Not Wow, and my reasons for playing WoW in the first place are now gone. I played to play with my friends. They've all moved on; to other games, to other servers, or to other things altogether and just quit. That's what I did when I reached Level 60. The expansion wasn't enough to lure me back. I imagined all I had waiting for me was more grinding, more boring game play where characters were only as good as their gear, and more people trying to get me to do more instances, which I sucked and was too slow at.

Okay, so why get lured into Guild Wars, besides everyone else is doing it? ...it's free. There's no subscription with this. The online game play is free.

I'm installing the game right now. I have no idea what my character's name will be, what server I'll be on, or what kind of characters I'm going to make. I'll make another post and give you guys an update later.

I've got a house of four furs playing here if anyone's interested. Let me know if this is your current game. Who else plays GW?
