    You have at least 3 months until launch so you have enough time to get 30-35/50. There are some very helpful threads in this forum regarding the acquiring of points so check those out.

    Yeah ive heard that a lot i guess i want to get a feel of the current community and hopefully make some friends along the way that transitions into gw2

    Great for Tyria lore and HoM at tbe very least. Depending on ur time committments you should be able to get 30 HoM if you follow a good guide.

    What it also says its the finale chapter ib4 gw2, they actually seem to wrap it up, and that tells me we are getting closer (or hoping)

    Hey Kael! =D

    There are still many people playing this game, even though I recon a lot have left it. I for one, consider this one of the better games I've played (although there are some parts I don''t like. But that's life ;D ). Is there a healthy community? Well, I am not so sure about this, as I like to play for myself and kinda ignore the social parts here... Regarding last question, see below.

    It depends on what you mean with "worth it". If you're in for it for the sole purpose of getting the items? Then I would say no!
    ~I'd save that money for the GW2 in-game shop to buy costumes!!! (Yes... I'm that kinda guy)~

    However, if you are interested in the lore and a decent play through and story, I would really suggest it! As mentioned by someone, the GW2 launch is ~~3'ish months away (but I honestly do not know) so I hink time is least of your problems xD. I don't know how much of the GW lore they will weave into GW2. If you're interested in lore only but don't wanna buy the game, I think they have two books (can someone confirm this?) for it. I haven't read them yet, but they're both on the way in the mail here

    I for one, will be playing (and have waited) long time for GW2... I am not often on GW anymore (Had some incidents with my account being compromised that made it so) but if you'd like a play-partner now and then (if you're buying) just throw me a PM.

    About that... I do think the current community is only a portion of what the GW2 will consist off... With the new release of such a hugely anticipated game, I would assume you get both ends of the straw in this subject. I do agree though, getting friends to play with, will definitively (in my case) increase the game play for me =)

    That's what I have to say fr today!


    Oh, one last thing!!!
    STOP! It's hammertime!


    Ok, one very last thing!

    All I read was that it was the final chapter for Winds of Change. Not that it was the final chapter of GW Beyond. They still have Elona to go to.

    Edit: Really tempted to get the Dragonguard costume, looks pretty cool.

    Ive been playing a little over a month now and Ive managed to reach 19 rewards (http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=m...AAACAEAAAAAAAA). Sure, its time consuming, but its not overly difficult. I have a feeling the last 5-6 points are going to really really drag, but I dont think that getting up to 25 points is going to be too tough. Just time consuming

    I picked the game two weeks ago ... The community is great, mostly thx to my guild being part of big alliance(TIGs) and the alliance chat is never quiet. The HoM points are nice to have, but the best thing is the story imho. Going through prophecies I enjoy it more than story in TOR. And it does carry over to GW2 ... the Ascalon ghost city dung in GW2 ... such a spoiler if you didn't finish GW1. Also I am curious how come charrs are not hostile in GW2.

    As for the points I got 40/50 minipets for now ... 10/50 points and I am still not finished with prophecies (so much content).

    And there is still at least 3 months before the game releases ... enough time to go for one of the nice titles like Ghostly Hero, Flameseeker, +

    My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.
