Does F2P mean Free to Play?

I have a coworker who stopped playing, waiting for it to go free. I'll have to ask him if he's playing again. I have today off work, a day late for GW2 special events.

Created an account and downloading and installing the game as I type this. Now I have to think up a character name.

I was thinking Shadowlands when I saw the list on a web sight. The game is still downloading as I post this. I picked a bad time to try it, the Thanksgiving weekend. I get Thursday off work, thats it. Nobody gets Black Friday off. No point in even asking they'll deny it.
Edit: still downloading. When I got up it was actually stalled. I had to pause it and unpause it to get it going again. I have 2 1/2 hours before I have to leave for work, I don't think it will be done downloading.

I've got a Soundral and a Sith Inquisitor. Apparently though bad guy isn't my thing. Twice I made decisions that gave my sith light points. So I'm thinking of deleting him and starting over as Jedi Consular.

There's a swtich in the settings, that let you see, if you choose white or dark before answering. BUT, what's so wrong in being a good bad guy? lol Remember though, that the TORWars Guild is Empire only. I tend to go for Bounty Hunters, probably because I'm lousy at melee But you didn't say how you feel about the game... so tell us. BTW. If you check torwars.enjin.com, there's a guild gathering Event in about 1½ day - there's a counter on the website.

I'm still thinking about it, I may delete the sith and go bounty hunter, I seem to die a lot on melee. Although I played the SI more I think I like the Smuggler l play style better so bounty hunter would probably be good. I don't like being limited to only two characters, I'm an altatholic, got 10 in Guild Wars 2 now. Kind of disappointed I can only choose between three of the species for free, but they have to make money somehow. I hate to think how much I've already spent on GW2 cash store in only a couple months. I miss Guild Wars 2's Way Points, places all over the maps that you can instantly travel to for a small fee and they don't go on a timer when used. Armor damaged when getting killed is similar to Guild Wars 2 except each death there only damages one armor piece and when all your armor is damaged you end up in your underwear until you repair it. Its also easier to heal yourself in combat in GW2, Don't have to bring up inventory and click on medical kits, your healing skill works in combat, although it may be interrupted,. I was hoping that at some point I'd get to kill the sith overseer but somebody in chat said don't get to and that actually his bad treatment of my character is actually a good thing since it feels him with resent One of the sith quests was bugged. The marker would point to inside the tomb but as soon as I walked into the tomb it would point right back out again. Somebody tried to help me but couldn't remember where I needed to be either. Eventually found it by accident. Otherwise I having fun with it. I think I'm going to erase both characters, right make the smuggler with different name and appearance and make a bounty hunter instead of sith. I didn't get far of either. Bounty Hunter's name is Josra. Who do I ask about joining guild?

You just type in General chat: /cjoin sunshine Then someone should send you an invite.. that easy I think you'll like the Bounty Hunter - and Mako your first companion is just yummy, lol You get her around lvl 8 I think.... You can unlock stuff in the Cartel Shop if you have cartel coins. Buy one thing and you'll automatically get Preferred status, which in itself unlocks a few more things for you. (at least, that's how I understand it)

Oh right - darn. Well, did you check the torwars.enjin.com and try writing in the shoutbox on the right - then someone might see it and add you.
OR you could wait for the Guild Event tomorrow early morning.
I'll be on tonight in about 8-9 hours, so I could add you.
You keeping the BH Josra?

Yes I'm keeping Josra.
Have to go to work, bu I logged in to check on something and found I had mail I had missed. I got 22 credits from the sith academy for sending them a new student. I murdered his father so he's naturally full of negative emotions which his overseer thanked me for.
