So I played some more, rubberbanding seemed to be much better, and I used windowed mode for reading the wiki while playing, and that helped a lot.

So....I picked up Guild Wars Trilogy for a bargain price and am now playing for real! Anyone recommend any guilds to help this complete noob get acclimatised?

Well, mostly any active guild will do...

Don't join any newly formed guilds because you won't get much help from people in it.

This happens if you alt tab. Do not alt tab and it won't happen.

That's what I've found too. If you alt-tab you'll rubberband like crazy.

The only other thing I could add to try is maybe the Leatrix Latency Fix. Ive never had any issues with rubberbanding in GW, and this is the only "major tweak" I've ever used. 

Here's a link to make it easy. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html

So I joined a guild I found in Ascalon City (I am still in pre-searing), and with 14 people online I thought that looked good. But it seems they hardly speak and don't answer any of my newbie questions.

So....any recommendations would be appreciated. I am a pretty social player and it really helps in a new game to have a guild. Especially in GW where I am spending most of my time alone in the world doing quests.

I can't say that being in a pre-searing guild is your best bet, if you have all the campaigns just make your way to Kamadan, there are a ton of guild advertising for members.

At least, thats what I would do.

The only time with rubberbanding seemed to be when I accidentally played weird. I can't remember specifics, but it was either trying to run  through somewhere I couldn't, or it happened when I ... I think I clicked space while doing stuff on occasion  because I kept wanting to jump lol ... but I think it made you use an object, so I'd be running, hit space when clicked on an object, and I'd rubberband a bit, then it would go back on track.

I don't know, it was a long time ago, but it did seem very clunky. But then, the whole game was kinda clunky, even though it was fun in small bursts.
