Jul. 12th, 2013 07:50 pmLogged into Neverwinter with the sound muted, got the pre-searing-Ascalon theme from (original) Guild Wars going through my head, and was hit with an overwhelming wave of nostalgia for GW.
Even logged in, for the first time in seven months. It's still there. (The game, not the population.) Didn't play, because it's not the gameplay itself that I miss, it's all the stuff associated with it. ~All the FEELS~, as it were. I've probably said this before, but Guild Wars was my first MMO and in many ways feels like home. Even if I have as many negative ( / resentful / anxietying / etc) associations as positive ones.
I also logged in to GW2 for the first time since ... April, I think. I'd stopped playing in ... some time or other ... mainly because of accessibility/equipment issues but partly also because of lack of interest.
I still find Neverwinter the easiest MMO for me to play -- if only because the controls I use most (esp. in combat) are WASD, QERT, and 1-6, all of which are easily reachable by left hand in neutral position, and mouse left/right, which is right hand; other games, including GW, tend to use 7-0 also, which is harder for me to manage -- and switching back and forth between NW and GW is interesting (some of the movement or camera controls in GW are used for combat in NW), but I think maybe I'm likely to get back into GW2 now that the equipment thing is sorted.
...after all, I don't yet have a max-level of each class. Teh Horrorz! (Guardian and ranger, sure, but my mesmer is either 9 or 7 -- if I can decide between my Sylvari and my human -- and my obligatory thief* is only 7 but I may reroll her anyway, and my engineer is 18, and my ele is 30, so I have a ways to go \o/
Why yes, I am a tad bit obsessive, why do you ask? :D
(*obthief: I seem to always have a female thief/rogue/assassin/etc named Jhalia)
Random GW2 NPC quote of win: "Oh, no. Woe is me. Look, messing around with unknown forces has unleashed deadly consequences. Because this has never happened before. (sigh) Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me."
