If you were to refer to GUILDWARS, how would you put it?
I have seen so many ways, post the way that you refer to GW.

Like, "GuildWars" or "GW" some like "Guild wars"

There are so many ways, I just want to find the normal...

I prefer.
"Guild Wars"

I use everything except for the insidious "Grind Wars".

Haha, Never thought of that...not? O_o

I think you answered your own question with your thread title.

There is no one way. People will use what they are comfortable with. At the end of the day, Guild Wars is GW, Guildwars, Guild Wars. Whatever. Not quite sure what benefit you'll get out of this thread?

Ok. Personally, I use GW most of the time when people know what GW means. Otherwise I use Guildwars. Capital G, lower caps w.

Guild Wars
GW
Grind Wars

KvanCetre · Jun 29, 2005, 01:01 AM // 01:01

I don't know how it can be called Grind Wars

I have never once had to grind

Unlike an MMO, I didn't have to spend countless hours leveling up without a purpose... all my leveling was done in missions. All my skill points come from playing in Fissure or UW

Marc Grahamsworth · Jun 29, 2005, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Why be restricted to one way of saying it?

I say "GW" when I'm on a fan forum (such as this one) - since most people know what you're talking about when you say that

.

In spoken word or in a non-fan forum, I use "Guild Wars" (unless I've already specified earlier in the discussion that "Guild Wars" = "GW").

I can't believe this is even a topic...

Odd way of saying it, but, it works..?

corax5 · Jun 29, 2005, 07:16 AM // 07:16

On the box it says GuildWars, but people wont bother putting both capitals in so i think Guildwars, or just GW when people know what your talking about.

You're not a PvPer are you? Or a very experienced one, in any case. Unlocking all skills makes team builds and... just... fun... PvP possible. Runes... Heh... I've got 300 hours summed up between all 3 characters (probably more), and I've never unlocked a superior rune, and few majors. It turns out I started farming too late. They nerfed all the farming spots to hell before I got the chance. So.. after 300 hours, I have no superior runes, I have very few skills for my secondary professions, and not many elites, in general. Since 300+ hours qualifies as "hundreds" of hours, I'd say the game isn't what it was advertised as. Now, you may think that you don't need every skill and rune, but you're wrong. Team builds require many different skills. A good PvP crew will want you to be able to play every single profession available competantly. Is that possible now? No. So in my mind, and every other hardcore PvPer, this game is Grind Wars. Most unlocks wins. Woo!

hopefully, the patch will fix this, but I have my doubts.
