I'm very new to the game, so much of this may be very old news to most of you. The wife and I only got into one day of BWE2 and I hadn't done a whole lot of investigation before that. I wish I had, as I was a bit lost about certain aspects of the game while we were playing. As you guys stated in your podcast, this game is amazing but it really requires you to forget any mindset you may be carrying over from previous games. There were also several aspects to the game that weren't at all obvious and I would have never realized, had I not done some research. Hopefully ArenaNet will have a better newbie tutorial to explain some of it at release. However, I love what I'm seeing so far with the game and thought it would be useful to consolidate some of what I've found. That way, I can use the details to help me recruit other friends! If you have any other links and/or suggestions, please let me know! The more players, the better... right?

Ha, I do find it incredibly funny that we don't like a links page somewhere. We've been just compiling all the data we find onto our site so that we don't have to search EVERYWHERE for the info we really want. Definitely find it funny when you reference our own site for topics tho XD

Thats because we are full of win, so full of it that we can reference our own site.
 
You guys have some great information here! I wanted a central location I could send friends to for info, so that's why I linked to this site. Sorry about that!
 
Hey don't say it like it's a bad thing....we just have lot's of confidence, so much so that it strokes our egos and inflates our heads....o_O

Do not try to include yourself in the fab five yet! We are too damn sparkly to add more yet! Bad Recruit! *presses shockcollar* (hot)
 
Anything to do with being fabulous... Count me the hell in! (is it odd that I want to misbehave so I can get shocked too?)
 
There are shock collars in this guild!? Sweet, how do I get one? Btw: thanks for the links. I needed them since I am still very new to GW.
