    downloaded several free games already including an mmo, but it seems it wont work that way.

    From the website.

    How can I gain access to all Steam features?

    To access all features of Steam, simply purchase a game from the Steam store, redeem a Gift or Guest Pass* on Steam, complete a microtransaction, fund your Steam wallet, or activate a retail game on Steam.


    and i dont have any retail games to activate on steam. maybe ill buy arkham asylum for 7 bucks its on sale

    Haha! You got me there! :D I did have a Steam account a couple of years ago, but I gave it away to one of my high school buddies and I won't get a new one until I get my new rig. Anyway, I'll be around here, don't worry! :D

    If it turns out anything like my last mmporg addiction I might as well just gather a load of pizza menu's and start preparing a list of reason's why I cannot make it into work today.

    Count me in as a part-timer...real life still beckons too much. But I enjoyed Guild Wars, even though I never joined a guild :eek: But I played DDO for years as a Loreseeker(and still do occasionally). GW2 seems like a fun time, so let's go for it.

    <------------Steam name is the same

    Ok who is the leader or who does everyone want to be the leader?
    Star Forge wants everyone to approve of him being the leader if he is so if you want him say you do?

    Assuming the common posters know what they are talking about. Then my vote goes to Star Forge. Hey, are we going to have a vent server and possibly a site/blog/ something that is more organized then a thread? This is fine for now, but when the game comes out, it is hard to run a guild through a thread.

    Uh we can probably use Vicious's mumble which he said we can use! He is also probably going to be apart of the guild when it goes on sale (because he has so many games to play already)

    Steam Community :: Group :: NBR Guild Wars 2 Guild
    This is our steam page! Join it! This is where we will be organizing most of our stuff! GW2 is possibly going to be run via Steam? Can anyone verify this for me? :p

    Is this a clan, if so I would like to be part of the founder or some top position, since I probably be extremely active. I do better in school when I game believe it or not, even when I spent like 12 hours on WoW a day I mainly got straight A's in all of my class :D

    is SF the N37 dude?

    Well you would have to take it up with Star Forge or the perspective leader as he or she will be assigning the officers. Well this is a guild, that's what the past like 8 pages have been about. Lol, yes, SF has the Mass Effect Avatar if that is what you're asking me with the numbers on the space suit.

    Yeah I am the N7 Avatar that does not have the Viking Helmet and I am a guy so. ;)

    Also, yeah there will be officer positions and people would be assigned to them (assumed under the current Guild Wars 1 guild hierarchy). I would just be the actual leader of the guild but I will use my power effectively to create the guild and maintain the logistics of it. I will be giving out Officer positions for those that want to also help out in a pivotal way and in a sense being an Officer is also a honorable and respected position in the guild.

    Depends if he wants to take it now or wait till the rest of the guild votes.
    Our tag is NBR, which means the name should be like No Big Railways or Nothing But Rollerbladin'

    Charr Engie
    Slyvari Thief
    Asura Elementalist
    Norn Guardian or Warriortype
    Human Mesmer

    My main will be Thief :D

    While you are running it, how would you pick officers? I am sure I will be active every night after school work and on weekends. Also, is this purely PvE or PvP aswell. I was a big PvPer before in WoW, but I want to do both.

    I'm not sure GW2 will be on steam, i hope since it would help boost the sales, but the first game didn't appear on steam before a few years after launch.

    I'll definitely be getting the game day1 (or if i pre-order online when it gets shipped to my home). Glad to see people joining :D.

    I'll probably start with a charr engineer, charr because i like them and engineer to go with my profession in life :p. The most funny part is i have a degree in engineering, the engineer in GW uses guns and explosives and i'm currently doing research in propellants more friendly for the environment. That's too many coincidences ;).

    I'll be a caster when I play, thats good since so far I see people opting to not be casters so it wont be too unbalanced in class choice.

    It depends on which version of each card you're talking about.

    6990M AMD Radeon would be better than a GTX 260M ,

    a GTX 580M would be better than a 6770M AMD Radeon.

    Check out Notebook / Laptop Reviews and News - Notebookcheck.net for GPU comparison. GW2 will not be like really graphically demanding to play minimally but if you want to play it max you will need something good. Anything in Class 1 should do you just find if you want to play the game. I cannot guarantee you will max it but it will probably look nice :p

    Sorry I haven't been around. Currently on my way to Afghanistan. I'll vote for Star Forge as well.

    I'll probably roll a human or tree people, if they're not too elf life, ranger.

    HI all,
    first of all this is a great Thread and i am not even done reading it :) i am on page 14 now and still reading. But i needed to post this before this thread closes. I want in the guild :) i was looking for this for a long time and have even made plans to begin my own guild of extraordinary people but then on this beautiful evening i cam a cross this thread :)

    i am playing guildwars 1 atm to get the lore in my head and know what the history for gw 2 will be. i have 1 question is there somewhere the guild will grow?

    i mean do you guys already have a site?
    or team-speak server?
    or how do you guys keep in contact with onoanother??

    hope to speak to you guys soon :)

    Glad you want in on the guild :D
    Well, we have a steam group if that is what you mean by site. And as of right now we dont have a team-speak server, but me and a few other from NBR talk over the steam chat system, and it seems to work fairly nice as of right now. And we keep in contact using Steam, Me Plague doctor, Tijo and SaveTheKennies are currently playing through Prophecies, at a slow phase that might be, but when we play, we have a good time talking to each other :D

    Great to have you on board buddy ;)
    The website idea sounds great! But yeah if you look some posts back, you can see that there is a link to the group that you can join. And once you get an steam account Plague will ad you to the list :) And yeah, when you got that steam account up and running tell me and you can join our adventures through GW :D
