AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It'd be fun, if it wasn't so boring.

Well we hope to get more people involved so it'd be less boring.

Should I play? TELL ME THE BASICS. Of the plot, obviously.

....theres a plot?

The best part is how much plot there is...

Plot: Your kingdom is being invaded by the cat people, don't worry they are too ugly and badass to be upstanding members of society. You lose. TIME TO GO. Then you tromp across the continent with a bunch of people and beat the shit out of undead, evil dwarves, religions zealots, their 'gods', snakemen, yourself, and some magma things that want to kill everything.

THEN YOU GET THE NEXT CHAPTER. Time to save giantchinacityshutupitisochina from a deadly deadly plague that's totally not zombies caused by an old traitor emperor bodyguard. And there are two factions that hate each other for eternity.

AND THEN EGYPT BLOWS UP. Time to go save their asses. Something about an EVIL GOD COMING BACK TO LIFE AND YOU TOTALLY HAVE TO KILL HIM. A real god this time too!

And then there is the expansion. The only real expansion. Here you go back to your home continent and go north. Though a cave. Whatevs. So you are there and GIANTS and your old kingdoms survivors totally need your help. Then these midget geniuses need your help. They make magic golems that look cool. The whole time you are really getting help for the dwarves who need your help killing something. THATS SORT OF THE MINION OF A DRAGON THAT IS OLDER THAN THE GODS.

And in guild wars 2 a bunch of dragons wake up and everything dies.

GUILD WARS IS ONE GIANT PARTY OF KICK booty, THE END.

[spoiler]Also, your prince dies.[/spoiler]

The best part of that story was the cat people that are too badass to be upstanding members of society.
Makes me imagine a cold blooded cat cop who DOESN'T PLAY BY THE RULES.

So, whats it cost? Is it a monthly thing, what?

You pay for it and then NEVER PAY ANYTHING EVER AGAIN.

Darkin, Darkin, Darkin. There is no monthly cost. Thats the beauty of it. Its F2P with almost no cash shop to speak of. Isnt even that much grinding since the levels cap at 20. Its all about what setup you go in with.

I got a Mentalist up to level 18 or something

I think I still have the disk somewhere

You dont even need the disc. As long as you remember your account info just redownload it from the NCsoft site for free.

Now I just gotta wait for the Support people to e-mail me my character information so I can log in.

How many expansions have there been? I only have the base game

I'm gonna try to get back into this game.

Thank goodness it's instanced so you can get away from that god-awful community.

Two more standalones and one real expansion.

Factions is asian themed and introduces the Assasin and Ritualist classes.

Nightfall has a Africa/Egypt feel to it and adds the Dervish and Paragon

Eye of the North is an add on for the core game adding lots of traditional "dungeons" to run.
