Hello @playfulfoodie looking at some of your posts and I see that you like Guild Wars 2, I think your posts are curious in a good way.
I played before Guild Wars 2 and the truth that seems to me a very complete game due to the content it has, pvp (world vs world) called my attention but in the end I left the game because my friends did not play. :(
Aww yeah I know how you feel. I started a new guild for all of my old guildies from WoW. Some came over for a while, but none of them kept on playing. Luckily though, in World vs World, there are plenty of people to play with, even without your guild :-)
