Thank you for your reply Serling,

Forgive me for not responding sooner. Thanks for the screenshots they are awsome!!  I was wondering how you made them and posted them in your reply ? Just being curious. I hope this year's halloween event will be just as cool as '05.I'm really getting excited about the Halloween event and will be eager to try it out. Thanks for sharing those screenshots!!   The jack 'o lantern heads looked cool too !!!!

Thanks for your reply Navina,

The pumkin heads sound like cool prizes.But were they for decoration only or what? The mad king sounds like a cool character maybe they will have him again this year.

Thank you for posting your opinons! 

Thanks for posting BigBlackWook,

Yes i think the snowball fight would be pretty awesome too! Can't wait to see it ! It's gonna be way cool to see my own character in a snowball fight.That in itself would just blow me away.

Thanks for your input it's much appreciated  !!

Thanks for posting 8hammer8,

Sounds like the first Halloween was a real blast !  It seems like I saw something about witches brew and some sort of potions that was at one of the celebrations (please correct me if I'm wrong it's been a while since I looked).I hope the makers of Guild Wars can make this year's celebration as good as the past ones.It's got me wondering what last year's celebration  was like? I hope that the makers of Guild Wars don't have too many irons in the fire and make this year's event one worth joining.That is my concern right now.They seem to be coming out with so many games it could be easy for them to be so busy that they can't put enough time into this year's celebration as they have in the past.I hope this won't be the case. I hope that they can put just as much effort into this year's as they have done in the past. I hope this year's event will be really fun experience for all of us playing! The way everyone has talked about past celebrations so far is really getting me stoked for this year's celebration and eager to hear more from everyone.

I have an idea for the celebration, it would be awesome to have a big old spooky haunted house. You could be exploring the house and this really tough monster that everyone dreads to see appears from out of nowhere.But what it really is it's just an illusion triggered by walking over a certain section of main path flooring every so many times.To make the illusion more real it'll be able to do some damage (ex. a river scale).But it scares most people into running as fast as you can right into a trap. That would be just too awesome! They could set the flooring for a random number of times like 1-5 so that it would be harder to find and figure out.Also they could have the trigger piece of flooring set at random areas also to catch everyone off guard.That way everytime you entered  the house it could be different and exciting.Most of all scary! Also have a prize for someone or special title for completing the house.Awards for least number of times trapped and so forth.

What do you think of this idea would it be a good one for the celebration or not? Please let me know what you think.

Thanks for your reply Negatude,

It reminds me of myself playing Guild Wars only I'm like this   with this  !! Lol

Thanks for replying Aetarya,

The first wintersday sounded lke fun and the snowball fight would be awesome. But now that you mention it ,I do recall seeing something about a festival on the home page.I only have prophecies and it seems like the boardwalk one was on factions. I have another thread that asked if all of the events was on factions. I had checked the upcoming events on the home page and only saw the chinese new year and boardwalk events. I now know that assumption was made due to bad timing.Imagine that ,check on upcoming events and I happen to find two events that can only be accessed on factions.Now I know why other players are going or  behind my back. Leave it to me to have perfect timing. I just seem to be born lucky! LoL 

When I set up the poll it didn't occur to me that there were festivals too.Somehow I just knew I was leaving something out when I made the poll and at least I made a space for other in the poll.

The dragon boardwalk event sounds like fun too.The carnival and rollerbeetle racing sound good. I'd like to just see the rollerbeetle racing, somehow when I try to imagine it in my head all I can come up with is . LOL 

Don't worry about getting into the spirit of GW go ahead and knock yourself out as far as I'm concerned . It's nice to see people excited about their games! Thanks for welcoming me to the game, so far I've only been in pre and I've heard that it's just the tip of the iceburg compared to what I'll find once I leave pre-searing.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom in this thread! 

Thanks for your reply Ellandra,

Halloween sounds like it will be really good.I haven't seen any of the events except for some screenshots. I am eagerly awaiting to join in the fun on my first chance to play in a holiday event. Which by the way, just happens to be the Halloween event coming up. I really like Halloween and from the screenshots on GW home page It looks like a lot of fun.

Don't be shy go ahead and participate in the poll! I am a new player and was just wondering which events were the best.  I just wanted to hear what real players had to say about the events in GW. Please vote all you have to do is click and all comments are welcome too.

Thank you for viewing this thread!

Thanks for the great guide it will help a lot of peopleout with the game.Kudos to you for taking the time to make a guide for us less fortunate ones. 

Since I had a question about holiday events in Guild Wars.  I was just wondering what was everyones favorite event in Guild Wars? Vote for your favorite holiday event  below and any comments are welcome too.

There is only one holiday event specifically tied to Factions (Cantha): the annual Dragon Festival which analogously celebrates the Chinese New Year. All other events - Halloween (my favorite), Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day (to name the other "majors") - are celebrated in all three campaigns.

The Dragon Festival was actually celebrated twice this summer, presumably because the first event fell on July 4th weekend, when many people were not able to attend due to America's Independence Day holiday.

Thanks for replying ,now I understand what was going on. I started right at July 4th and when I checked to see about the July 4th event. I was looking at the Dragon Festival and that's what got me confused.I'm glad to know that my assumption was wrong ,it was just bad timing.Leave it to me to check on my  first holiday event in Guild Wars and end up finding the only event tied to one specific campaign. Lol    It makes me feel so lucky! Lol     No wonder my friend was giving me strange looks 

Thanks for replying and letting me know I was wrong.I would have been really ticked if I had missed the Halloween event.From the screenshots it looks like it will be a lot of fun to play.I'm glad to see you're a fan of the event too and I will be eager to join in the event when they start it.

The people here at MMORPG are awsome and so helpful with my questions.Thanks  

I have noticed that most of the holiday events seem to be hosted on Factions. Is this always the case or is it just me.  I haven't played for long so I was just wanting some comments from others that have played for a while to see if this is true or not.  I only have prophecies and was disappointed that the July 4th event was on factions and I had no way to join the event. 

Thanks for responding Godliest,

I had a friend suggest that prophecies is the best for learning how to play. I do have prophecies and do play in pre searing for now, maybe that's why I didn't think I could participate in the festivals. For those just reading the forums, pre searing is a training ground to learn how to play the game.I think pre searing is big but I've heard that it's only the begining. I'll probably wait for just a little longer before going outside.I would like to learn a little more about crafting since I don't know anything about how to go about it. I've got a few materials but that's the extent of my knowlege for now.Once I go outside you'll probably recognize me I'll look like this  at least until I get the hang of it. lol

I was just wondering what is the maximum level you can get to in guild wars?  I heard that it was 20 for prophecies but can you go any higher? I would like to know what the max. is for factions too since I'm considering buying it also. I was considering getting factions since I saw that the past july 4th celebration could only be accessed through factions.  Is this typical of all the other holidays? When they have a contest or celebration, is it usually hosted in factions?

Thanks for your help Ellandra,

Now I'll know how to deal with this problem if it comes up again.Thank you for responding to my post.

I knew someone that was more computer literate could help me with my problem.I figured it was simple fix but I haven't played too many online games.Since I couldn't get my question through the proper channels. I knew you guys here could point me in the right direction.

Thanks you again! 

Thanks for replyng Odenathus,

Thanks for the advice ,I had a feeling that I would have to reinstall it but just wanted to another opinion before I took that step.Just in case the solution was something else.

I know that I could find answers here and that someone could help me out.When I really need answers I turn to MMORPG forums.You guys rock! 

Thanks again to Odenathus.

I'm new to Guild Wars and am having problems getting the game to run.When I try to run it it has this error message:

Unable to Open Archive file

Guild Wars is unable to access its archive file C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.dat.Please verify that this file ia accessable and writeable,and that no other programs are currently using it.

I have tried to contact Guild Wars support but haven't had any luck because NC soft can't seem to find my account so that I can submit my question to their technical support. They were helpful when I can get through to them.But hopefully someone here can help me out since I can't get through to them.

Hi,

I'm still having problems with posting anything on Last Chao's home page forums.  I tried to send an e-mail to the contact us option but apparently that didn't work either.  

Hi FTB2,

There is a game called Sherwood that is a browser based RPG that is free and you don't have to download.You might want to give it a try.I believe the home site is MaidMarion.com if I'm not mistaken.It seems like you have a choice of three different warriors to be your avatar.It's been awhile since I've played it though.You start on an island with a castle and dungeon to explore. You can even PvsP and battle other players if that is your cup of tea. The dungeon that you can explore has seemingly endless levels too. You can also explore four or five islands or worlds from what I remember but you have to be a certain level to explore the other islands or worlds so you have to work your way up in levels to explore the next island.

                                                                                                                  Hope this helps you in your quest.   

Thanks for your reply Kargor,

Sorry to hear that your guardian wasn't helping you that much. I think that some of the guardians get all excited and try to take on too many apprentices at once or don't let their apprentices know what times they are most likely to be on.We all know that they can't be on all the time for everyone. But if more of them would just give a ballpark time they are likely to be on then the apprentices would not be disappointed and feel left alone. We all know that we have to live our lives and emergencys or unforseen events come up to keep guardians from helping their apprentices.I don't think most of them realize this point. I can't post this on the home page forum.Because I can't post anything on the home page forum,I get logged out as soon as I choose a subject,but I can still look as a guest. But I'll try to post this on one of their fansite forums so that maybe some of them can realize this and start to communicate with their apprentices better.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I've been playing and trying to help other players out even though I'm not able to be a guardian.You have to have a character that is level 20 or higher in order to be a guardian in case you didn't know.Hopefully they will address this problem and tell the new guardians before they let them lose in the game.They now have a wikipedia and hopefully someone will address this issue.I know I'd feel better going through the apprentice system to know what time my guardian would be on.
