Really, if you find me in the game I love to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>I just want to say that yes, it would be great to hook up and play with the friends I&#8217;ve made here.  I haven&#8217;t taken anyone up on the offer just yet because I don&#8217;t want to launch some enterprise only to realize four days later that the game just isn&#8217;t doing it for me, or that I&#8217;d rather be playing something else.  My personality is such that I&#8217;d probably keep playing out of guilt, and that won&#8217;t do any of us any good.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also just not that great of a playmate. In Guild Wars I&#8217;ve been playing for an hour, then jumping to another window (and let us praise developers who can make games that Alt-Tab gracefully) to write a bit about the game.  <\/p>\n<p>I also think that in order to do my writing I kind of need to experience the early game content solo.  <\/p>\n<p>If I end up sticking with Guild Wars, or playing some other MMO, then I&#8217;ll probably start joining up.  I&#8217;m too introverted to actually <em>run<\/em> a guild, but I&#8217;d join one if doing so would let me play with a group of non-idiots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just want to say I&#8217;m really grateful to those who logged into Guild Wars and looked me up and offered help.
