Also, what professions do you play? PvE or PvP?

Lastly, did you get the GW:EN expansion?

I've been dribbling in front of WoW a bit lately .. gotta kick the habit, g/f is going a bit nuts over it

I loved WoW, but it got to the point that I didn't have the time/dedication to spend 8 hours a day playing the game. Most high end guilds want you to play like 40+ hours a week, no room for the casual player :( so I quit... I miss tanking with my warrior, but I only got it to 65 or so.

But since I quit I found that I have so much more free time! I started coding again.. I'm teaching myself bash. Ever so often I'll find a console RPG and start obsessing over it (most recently, Okami)

But this is a little OT since the thread is about GW.. I never tried GW but I gotta admit I didn't like the concept much. I liked WoW's balance (sometimes a lackthereof, but hey) between pve and pvp

You like console RPG's? How far back do you go? Have you ever played Chrono Trigger? What about FFI? Or *gasp* Dragon Warrior?

Really? What part of the concept turned you off the most? Is it the fact that everything is instanced? That's what I hear the most. Oh, that plus the fact that you can't jump.

I havn't played since the first expansion came out. But but before I got bored with the original content, I had way to much fun soloing things that most people didn't solo. I don't know how it is these days, but back then everyone did there farming and soloing with some sorta monk/?? class. I never did that, and thats why it was so fun for me. I found some really intresting ways to survive with without the monk class.

I have photo's! Here is me soloing 2 sand worms. I could also solo 4 at a time, but I never got a descent looking screenshot of that. On this particular battle, I was most likely an war/ele or war/mes. Those 2 were my typical setups.

So if I were to actually play again. Which expansion do you think I would enjoy the most? I'm big on soloing and killing monsters. I don't normally do much pvp.
