Umm, number one, what the heck are you talking about Sardeth Wynn, and why are you doing it at three in the morning? And are you complaining about one fansite getting a few GMs to come to one of their events? What should they do, split themselves up into billions and come to every single one?

My official response as to why I am going on the war path against Martin and Regina, their actions in game and their temporary employment with Santiarum.fm as Djs.
Their actions damaged my industry, its bad enough that it would be cheeper to run a terrestrial radio station and these are the fees we as online radio stations must pay to play content, if a Gm, Community Director or say a Dev becomes listed as a on air personality, automatically in game players will tune in just for novelty or with the chance of scoring points with the game company. The actions taken by Martin and Regina IE: Muting other radio station Djs in game then lying and saying they didnt, being listed as on air personalities for the benefit of Sanitarium.fm and then decided to grace other radio stations with on air appearances after the already damaged everyone else ratings for the day.
No this is unacceptable even though I still consider David of Bladeradio.com a friend I will honor his request to stop posting on GWs offical Wiki, but I will be pursuing this with other avenues available to me.
I do not know what kind of bargain was made between that radio station and Matin and Regina. Regina said “Their were listed as Djs to access the forums” this is obviously mushroom feed in the hopes that it will calm everyone down. Anyone that runs a website knows this is a lie, register to read the forum and get forum admin. Martin comes from Europe and so does that station so, come to your own conclusions.
Oddly though because of who they are, no one will stand up and call their actions and the lies they have used to justify their actions what they are lies and smoke screens. This just shows their ethics and business professionalism is sadly lacking. These actions are an Oprah Whinfrey grandstanding and a slap to the face of every fan site or internet radio station out there. If Anet allows this to go un-punished this will also show their total lack of professionalism indifference to fan sites and their ethical behavior.
I will pursue this to the best of my ability. Understand outside of their lack of professional behavior and poor judgement and perhaps a side deal or two with that radio station, I have nothing against them. I do not even know them as individuals, (however; their abuse of their in game status as admin and company position kind of shows me their character), and it is only their timing that has me looking for Anet to punish them instead of say a different MMO. I would be going after any game Admin if they abused their position and in game status this way.
The message they sent was, it doesnt matter how long this other station or fansite has been in this game we will back this one and the rest of you can fall to the dirt. No, this is very unacceptable and unethical in any part of the world.

Krondonian: As mentioned, the ‘entire set’ is £25 (which is still cheap) now. Just shop around for the Complete Collection box. You’ll end up paying MUCH more if you break it up into seperate purchases, as they try to sell them individually for £15-20.

Thanks folks. I’ll definitely be checking out the free trial, and with the amount of games I have waiting to be finished I can’t imagine I’d have the time for more than one of the games, so Nightfall sounds dandy.

Cheers again.

The only problem with starting with Nightfall is that it is much better than the others.. if you see what I mean. If you do end up liking it you’ll have less fun in Factions and considerably less fun in Prophecies – in fact I wouldn’t even bother with Prophecies unless you start a level 1 char in it to experience the whole story. On the flipside without Nightfall you need the expansion Eye of the North to get Heroes which are superior to hencemen.. or go hand in hand with them if you are going it alone.

I’d probably recommend Nightfall to start with, if you got only one, as it has the bells and whistles and strikes a balance between the slower, yet fulfilling so far, Prophecies and the fast track that Factions had. You also would get to play with Heroes in Nightfall (customizable Henchmen that you can equip and spec out as you wish) and you don’t have that option, as far as I know, in the first 2.

Alternatively, if you don’t mind the first campaign that’s a little slower, but a great introduction nonetheless, go download the free trial being offered by NCSoft. It gives you 10 hours to play (and it’s generous what it counts as time played) and you can decide from there how it feels. It starts you off in a zone without henchmen, but after a few levels, the rest of the “real” game opens up.

I like the look of Guild Wars, but I don’t really want to be buying the entire set off the hat in case I don’t get into it. Any recommendations on where to start if I was to just choose one?

By: Nick

The only chapter of Guild Wars that doesn’t fast road you to max level is the original Prophecies which sounds like what The Hammer is referring to (the hammer is my penis). You got to max level ther generally around 4 or 5 missions from the “end” although there was always the underworld, the titan quests and that huge dungeon they added for free a bit after release.

Kieron, I think your theory is a good one, especially in the face of the ludicrous reasonings for it not being an MMO. Not that it really matters in the grand scheme of things of course.

I really liked Guild Wars, haven’t played it really for about 6 months. Have put over 3000 hours into it though since it released!

Hopefully they’ll balance PvP a bit better for GW2 though, as there were quite a few updates that royally screwed up balance.
