Hey guys. I have been thinking about it ever since I bought this game (which was around the same time I joined VeX). The game I am proposing to make a section is called Guild Wars. Maybe some of you have heard of it but for those of you who haven't it's a MMORPG. I know your probably saying," Well we already have 2 sections that are MMO's, why do we need another?" Well, just listen to my proposal and you might change your mind.
Guild Wars: The Basics
Like I said Guild Wars is and MMORPG, but it does some things that are different from others. First is the fact that THERE IS NO MONTHLY FEE! That's right, you pay for the game and it's smooth sailing from there and you won't need to shove anymore money into it. Another thing is that the level cap is 20. Yes, a bit low, but the developers did this for a reason. See instead of focusing on leveling up to win your battles, it becomes more about skill with you class (or in Guild Wars profession) then who's the higher level. Another interesting thing is that you can have 2 classes at once. You can be a ranger (an archer with pet control) combined with a necromancer (a class inwhich you raise the dead). So you get the benefit's of both and you can combine spells from the 2 classes for stratigical combos. One other thing is that there are no server's in Guild Wars. There are instead "districts" that you can hop your character through so if you wanted to get together with your friend, you wouldn't have to start a new character on another server. Just scroll down the list of districts and go to ther one you want. Each city has its own set of districts and the number of districts depends on how many people go there.
Guild Wars: The Role Playing Part
In Guild Wars you create your character (shape what he or she looks like, choose a name, pick the Profession) and he/she is thrown into the world. In the beggining you do simple quests and learn how the game works in the world. A thing I should tell you about is this. The towns, citys, and settlements, is where all the people are. It's here that you can buy, sell, talk with other's, and find party members for quests. But once you step out of the city, there is only you and your party in the wilderness. The game creates a special area, just for you and your party to do quests. No longer will other adventurers screw up your quests because you and your party will be the only one's in the wilderness. Now there are 2 types of quests, normal everyday quests where you get small benefits, then there are big story line quests. These quests are all stringed together, they also have cutscene's that tell you what to do in the quest and advance you in the story line. It's through these quests that you will travel all over the world.
A final note about the Role-Playing part is that it is VERY party influenced. You really can't progress through the game unless you work with other people. You can get computer "henchmen" but they arn't as smart as real people.
Guild Wars: PvP
Now this is the meat and potatoes of the game. This is where you fight other players and show who's got the better skills. When you create a character, you choose wether that character is PvP or Role-Playing. When you choose pvp, you can choose what kind of PvP you want to get into. Theres regular arena where you are put in a random group and you fight other random group. Then there is the Hall of Heroes PvP, which is the big serious teams duke it out for supremecy. Then the coolest, the Guild PvP. This is where Guilds fight other guilds to see which guild has the better skills. This is the coolest one in my opinion and VeX could have some fun with it.
Now when you start the character he/she automatically starts at level 20. You choose the character's primary profession and secondary profession and the spells (or in Guild Wars skills) that you will use. Then you choose the armor and the weapons you want the character to have. Then you name the character and thrust him/her into the pvp world. From here you enter matches against other teams and fight in an arena. The more kills and victories you get, the more faction points you get. You can use these points to buy upgrades for your weapons, armor, and you can buy new skills.
Note: Guilds can purchase things called guild halls. These halls are where everyone in the guild hangs out and organizes some PvP action or quest action. These halls cost quite alot of gold (games currency) but we could have guild meetings there and just hang out.

Why I want to propose this new section.
I want to do this because I really like the game and I love to PvP. I also think it would be fun to have guild PvP and show that VeXers are kick ass in any game they play. Another reason why I want to do this is that I want to contribute something big to the clan. I also want to prove myself to the clan and show that I can be a leader. There also some pracical reasons. One is that people who play Guild Wars, also play WoW and sometimes some runescape. So if this is made a section, those who join could also be apart of the WoW or RS, which means new recruits for those sections as well! Of coarse if the section is successful I will still be VERY active in the Call of Duty section.
Well thank you for reading my long ass proposal. I eagerly await you guestions and you comments. Thank you again.
