    Guild Wars 2: 'and i thought i would go to bed after i got to level 30'

    That does sound like a good idea, though it might be an idea to use more than one name, just for the off-chance that no-one manages to get their first choice name (this almost always happens to me, whether beta, alpha or release >.>)

    We could add OC to our in game names to try adding to our friends lists. I can't imagine that getting taken, and they won't be permanent names anyway since there's a server wipe when the game goes live and probably after each beta weekend.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention that most of this doesn't really need to be worried about. When the pre-purchase betas start, the NDA will be no more. We can just chat it up here for friends.

    Nostalgia vs Interpretation

    in General Discussion

    I listen to remixes for the interpretation mostly. Being new here as well, I came already in search of people's interpretations so i may not have the most helpful opinion for your question. I always did appreciate video game music and it would get stuck in my head while playing, but if I had a nostalgic moment i think I would much rather search for the OST than listen to remixes. When I feel nostalgia, i don't like variation, i look for the exact same as I remember it. Fortunately, i don't have those moments too often and can still very much enjoy the work found here.

    To answer your question straight-forward, I like interpretation more.

    I hope something I wrote here will help answer your question :). And as i said, i am also new to video game remixes.

    Can you guys imagine how awesome it's going to be starting out playing with tons and tons of fresh lv 1 people, there's just going to be tons of excitement and crazy things happening!

    As for the name, which really hasn't been talked about much in this thread, may I suggest a simple, subtle, yet totally appropriate and awesome official guild name?

    "OVERCLOCKED"

    Some big mod dude (or dudette) should start a poll or something with the top favourite names introduced by the community of OCR. Then an official name can be voted on. I'd totally start a poll (not sure if we can do that on these forums), but I'm at work right now and dont have time to look into it haha :P

    Anyway, Syllix signing out for now! :)

    I really like your name suggestion. Simple, to the point, but still awesome.

    Also, I can't wait for the lvl 1 fest! This will be my first mmo that I get on release, so I won't be behind. I can't wait :D

    I've never played GW before, but I do hear good things about it. What's the draw?

    First of all, there's no monthly subscription.

    As for game play:

    The biggest thing for me is how events and quests work. There is the system called pandemic(i may have the name of them wrong) events, where you can walk into a city and watch it get attacked. While watching this happen you will receive a quest to defend the city. Also, this is happening to everyone. You won't save the city just for someone else to save it afterward, it will stayed saved(or destroyed depending on if you succeeded) for other people. They want to get rid of "go kill ten cows" quests.

    The second biggest is there is no holy trinity(Tank,Healer,DPS). Whatever class you choose to play, you'll be very effective and able to solo the game. That's another cool thing. You don't need to play in large groups or even with anyone at all if that's how you like playing.

    In my opinion, game play is the sort of thing you need to feel for yourself. (IE: Lots of people love WoW, but when I tried it I didn't think it felt very smooth to me.) These are a few features that will rock.

    A few pluses:

    They have wonderful painterly textures if graphics are your thing. Also, Guild Wars, in my opinion, has the nicest and most helpful community. You find a lot of other games have mean, no nubs allowed, attitudes. Although we don't bash on players who aren't as good, i'm not saying GW players aren't very good. We are plenty skilled, just nice.

    Info mistake

    I'm just not feeling any of the classes in the game. Anyone know if that's it, or do they have more reveals planned as far as that goes?

    ^There will be 8 professions, 7 of which have been revealed. Hopefully the last one catches your interest! It's anyone's guess as to what it'll be though. ArenaNet's lips are sealed...for the time being.^

    I'm glad my favorite mmo franchise also happens to not have a subscription! I don't even want to think about a world where GW2 is subscription-based. /shudders

    I need to record PS3 gameplay footage.

    If you don't want to spend too much on the HD PVR, although i will admit that it records beautifully, you should check out the Roxio Game Capture Card.

    *This is not as good as the PVR, just a cheaper suggestion*

    It records at 480p, but if you have skills with video editing this card gives you enough to work with to make the video seem like 720p.

    That link is 70 dollars instead of 100.
