The noobs starter guide : FAQ's

Go with Saix. I know of numerous people who have had to move away from IS in order to play Guild Wars.

[Gary Waterworth]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Are there any local south african servers for guild wars? I am deciding whether to get IS or SAIX. If there are no local servers, then SAIX is probably the way to go. If there are local servers, and I get an IS account, I wont have to worry once iv reached my 3GB international cap, as I could still play guild wars locally.
Any advice would be appreciated.

To be truthfull , the bandwidth requirements for GW are minimal . I play extensively online and have yet to use 1Gb of bandwidth for GW

IS or SAIX should be good. No problems with either of these 2.
I have played Guild Wars on virtually all types of connections (56k, ISDN, ADSL, GPRS, HSDPA, with BlueTooth thrown in the mix) and Guild Wars played on all of them (No ABSA though )

[aCe]

Guild Wars does not work well with IS!

If you have an option between IS and Saix go with Saix.

[lilDeath]

I am not talking on heresay, I know IS (as ISP) does work!!

The resellers on IS may be problematic, like ABSA, etc.

If you do get an account from IS, make sure it is through them and not a willy-nilly reseller.

I still prefer SAIX though, simply because I have a longer relationship with them.

Okay so im up and running with Guild Wars. 4 of us are playing, but it only allows 2 people per party. How do I get more people into my party when i start the game?

[aCe]

Simple answer. You can't.

As you progress through the game your party size will increase.

When you hit post searing (you're in pre searing now) your party size will increase to 4. I think it then increases to 6 when you hit Yaks Bend. I think the next jump is in the southern shiverpeaks when it then jumps to 8.

I answered you in the other thread as well. There is also Take2 - www.take2.co.za, and Kalahari - www.kalahari.net
They might be cheaper. Think Take2 is R265 for each one, Prophecies and Factions.

Most CNA's and Look and Listen's sell Guild Wars.

[gkm]

Also have a look in your local CNA and other computer shops.

Edit: Sorry, same as what spaceman said.

I had trouble finding it in durbs as well. Eventually found it at the horribly overpriced Incredible Connection in Gateway.
