I'm looking for legal Guild Wars mods to make the game more interesting. Anyone know a way to legally obtain these mods?

Did I specify that I only want legal mods? :P

You have to log into their server to play. Exactly how did you expect to alter the gameplay when it is run remotely?

There may be addons for mmos but not mods that would be silly.

there are 2 kinds mods that i know of: texture mods and... well this other kind

wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Texmod - these mods just change the skins of armors, weapons, environment etc

then theres this thing. it adds ut type killing spree announcements and forces all player armor to be the high res versions (normally reserved for your own character even at max settings)

i dont know what kind of mods u had in mind but these certainly are mods so i hope that helps

You might be better off giving City of Heroes a try. There is a mission editor within the game I think.

no. previous community manager said that it's a grey area and they won't be banning anyone for it. the link i gave is on the official wiki after all, surely there would be some warning if that were the case.

Also let me add that Guild Wars has problems with people trying to use mods, then all of a sudden, their account is hacked and stripped of everything of value. I have had a few friends that play have that happen to them.

that can happen in wow or any other mmo, not just guildwars. you just need to practice safe surfing/downloading habits. don't download mods as exes, download only from trusted sources, etc

I believe this same is true for WoW; yet I used to use mods all the time. There's even a website dedicated to them, IIRC. Legal ones, that is. How do you account for that?

They don't actually change the game though. They just change how you interact with it. What you said is that you wanted mods "to make the game more interesting."

WoW mods don't fundamentally change how the game works. Guild Wars does not have much in the way of mods. With WoW, they deliberately built in mod support using a particular format, basically with the intention of allowing people to alter the interface. At the end of the day though, it's still the same server code at the other end running the game in the same way.

Anyway, there are some UI mods for Guild Wars, most of them rather inconsequential compared to typically used WoW mods that might display timers or do various other things to noobify the game. :P Standard disclaimer - use them at your own risk, etc. :

Those are simply for the UI, and all they do is change the look of things... not missions/extra classes or whatnot.
