Guess it wasn't so dumb after all. Thanks.

I just hope this fresh key idea doesn't extend to re-loads, 'cause if the shit ever hits the fan and I have to take it off only to find it doesn't work when I get it back on...

The CD-Key is linked to your account. If you can remember your email address, you're golden.

Gah!
There I was, playing in the small ascalon arena, just got lvl 11, and the opposing team actually hid themselves outside the arena in the starting zone for fecking minutes.
And then that bitch comes out and kills me, and says "Get lost you lvl 11, I'm now the lvl 11". What a stupid bitch...

Anyways

Now I saw the Guild Hall. What good does it bring me? And what is a guild battle?

Guild hall gives us a meeting place with peace and quiet; no retards spamming the chat and such, and it also makes us eligible for guild-vs-guild battles. They're ultra-high-end PvP: Low to mid-range can be found in the various arenas which slowly escalate as you progress, then we have the Tomb of the Primeval Kings (global tournament) at a comfortable high-end, which is available to any PvP character or an Ascended RP char. Then there's guild battles, which yield the greatest rewards and affect guild standing on the global ladder on guildwars.com.

I made it there with henchies, too. I've tried it with my warrior and henchies, but I just can't make it. I was only able to make it with Alesia, Little Tom, Stefan, Claude, Orion, and Sanini (My monk). The ONLY reason we made it is that I'm nearly a pure healing monk and we had alesia as a backup.

I apologize if this was asked already but..... how do I get there? Is there a teleport to the guild hall or do I have to travel to a location? If I have to travel then I'll have to keep building my level 7 Warrior\Ranger.

It should be on your map, though only after you get post searing.

Now I am level 8 and still in the ascalon area. Been to Ranik, the Wall, sanitarium, serenity, Kryta camp.

What are the best ways of making lots of money? I am tired of only having low hundreds of gold.

Hlp 4 n00b!

Heh. the money doesn't start coming in earnet ultil MUCH later. Until then, best to ask your nice guildies to give you their unneeded shizzle.

Like I have necro rune of major curses, major swordsmanship, Major fire magic, minor fire magic, minor air magic, which I NEED to get rid of. if any can use PLACE send me a /w!

I have most anything needed generally, except money, because I'm too lazy to finish Thunderhead Keep and get the missions rolling...

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2005-07-22 03:48am

Soon enough I must sell these common crafting material stuff. It really is spamming up my bank stash. And I now managed to get first platinum slip. go me...
Unpleasantly, I don't have a current quest (except Surmia thingie). GOod or bad thing? Should I try and make for these Kryta gates now?

Damn it! I have to reboot the computer every hour because this game leaks so much memory that it slows my computer to a crawl. Is there a patch for this game? If so, do I have to download it or is it automatically patched whenever I log in?

Should get patched whenever you login. I haven't had problems with memory leaks.

It bugs me because I have 1GB of RAM but after an hour of playing the game slooooooooows down.

I couldn't finish the mission at Fort Ranik involving the catapults because of the slow down\lag.

huh?

All I know that the game runs fine until about an hour then it slowws down. when I exit the game I have to reboot because I can't do anything else because I get a window that says that I do not have enough memory.

Chardok · Post by **Chardok** » 2005-07-23 10:57am

Sanini (nearly pure healing monk) is now lvl 16. My power grows. Soon I will be more powerful than master Windu and master Yoda ever were. Oh, and one of you asses find me a good holy rod or holy staff goddammit, the one I have sucks donkey balls. Preferably one with a huge energy bonus. Do this, Or I will eat your brains.

My PC is far from state of the art and rarely has had any problems. Most instances of lag have been momentary with the very occasional prolonged piece.

Overall, I think performance on the game is fairly good.

I've never had any memory problems with the game.

It could be a problem with the installation. Have you tried a re-install? You won't lose your characters.

Jade Falcon · Post by **Jade Falcon** » 2005-07-23 05:08pm

Saying that, the lag on the servers today has been horrendous.

I seem to have the same problem with Colin Mcrae 2005. After an hour the game suddenly slows down to the point I have to exit the game and reboot the computer.
