The Official Introductions Thread!

Kneel!! Kneel before Zod!!
Sorry, Kal. Just had to say it. Welcome to Guru.

lol thanks dude.

Heheh I finally registered on this forum. I've been looking at some of the pages, especially those dealing with 55 monk, for a while. So, hello everybody, looks like I finally found the intro thread. I'm done. Oh yeah, one minor fact; reason I registered is 'cause I can't play GW atm, computer died But in-between college classes (and in some, as right now), I check the forum

I've popped into these forums before but somehow never got around to registering, so... er... I finally registered. Hello!

Hi! I have been playing GW for quite a while and just decided to join up

My brother owns the game. I need to get it myself, still. Myself, well unless I get to know the individual asking the questions, I will probably dodge them.

I deleted my character on his account, so for now, I don't have a character to use. With that said, would anybody still happen to have their trial code, so I could maybe use it?

Edit: That last bit about the trial code might have resolved itself...

Yo i am Trav. I've been playing GW for about a year and 3/4. I play the Necro, Monk, and the Ranger. I enjoy tyria the most, and i still think a-net should make items in locked chests in FoW inscriable and tombs is under-rated!

Hi, my name is Rebellion. I've been playing GW for about 5 months now. My favorite profession is Warrior (although I like Dervish to). I live in the Netherlands, I'm 16 years old and my hobby/sport is Ice Skating. If you want some more information about me, just ask .

I suppose this is really late, My name is Drakken and I'm somewhat of an internet celebrity. (The scary thing is, I'm not joking, you used to be able to google me by my full name.) I'm new here and still fairly new at Guild Wars. I work full time and try to play as often as I can, and my favourite class is Necromancer ever since Diablo 2. (I was one of the first to come up with and play the PURE bone necromancer in Diablo 2. If you can find the oldest guides for it, you'll see the name Drakken at very least mentioned.) Believe me, I was pretty miffed when they added the synergies system that finally made the bone necromancer 'amazing' and suddently everyone had one.

I sing, play guitar, write songs, collect and play tabletop games, (Warhammer//WH40k//Warmachine) and I'm a horrible, horrible goth sterotype.

Umm hi I'm I Can Cure Cancer I've been playing GW for 18 months and yea.... I joined to read all the posts and rants (mostly rants) of other Gw players see how they envision the game and upcoming gw 2

Hello!

I'm Jack Mercer.


I've been playng GW for two years now. I own Prophecies and Factions and am planning to buy Nightfall and GW:EN someday (when I finally found a job that fits me).

I registered here because this place seems like a good place with good members and lots of info. And... because I plain suck at modding and found a nice mod thread here.

Anyway, I hope to have a good time here.

Welcome to GWs Guru. This is the first forum that I have ever written on and I find it very helpful.

GWs Profile

Name: Lynn
Gender: Female
Age: In my 30’s
Nationality: Canadian
Living in: Abroad, but home base is Canada
Hobby’s beside GW: Digital voice editing, some Photoshop art, occasional good fantasy movies, talking with my friends, reading fantasy novels. I love our cats.
What other games do I play: Oblivion
Job or school: Living in a double income, no kids situation and liking it.
Favorite game b4 GW: Morrowind
Favorite Cartoon: I guess I like the classics, like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
Favorite music: Any song that tells a story about something other than love. Eg. Iron Maiden’s Rhime of the 'Ancient Mariner', 'Dance with the Dead' are excellent stories. Chris de Berge is a fantastic story teller, 'Crusader' being one of his best. Actually all genres of music can spin a good yarn, and any of those, I will like. However, the classic heavy metal genre is still unmatched for its good, non-mundane/fantasy-style story telling.
Favorite food: filet mignon - and that has been a constant since I was a wee child.

Chars: I have…
- 7 monks
- 4 warriors
- 3 rangers
- 3 elementalists
- 3 necromancers
- 3 mesmers
- 3 ritualists
- 3 paragons
- 3 assassins
- 1 dervish

Favourite char: Can’t decide between them, but fav class is monk
Favourite Campaign: I like:
- Nightfall because of the constant sunlight and afternoon shadows and the romance between Melonni and Koss
- Factions because of the humorous story, humorous NPCs, and plenty non-violent quests.
- Prophesies because of the lush, green landscape, Drok’s forge trek, beautiful, sunny Mineral Springs area.
- GW:EN – have yet to explore much of it, but heard it is nice.
Pvp or pve: Primarily PvE
What I hate about GW:
- Skill nerfing and Ferndale.
- PvE and PvP being so intertwined that PvE gets nerfed by the PvPers
- The fact that new expansions come out too quickly. I’d like to take more time living in the ones that we have.
- Would like more ability to customize clothing.
- The fact that there was no warning that you had to keep your digital key code for the game, so I threw the first few I bought away, making me vulnerable to total loss if anything were to happen to some of my accounts, which I paid in full for.
- I dislike bots, as they harm the game. But even more, I hate the way Anet tries to combat them by damaging their own game more than the bots do. eg. Hero AI problems, bad drops, etc.
What do I love about GW: I like everything I mentioned in 'Favorite Campaign' plus:
- the ability to dye clothes,
- the good graphics,
- the private combat area just for you and friends,
- the good game control system (very user friendly),
- skill system is excellent (other than the nerfing).
- the assigned drops is nice, to avoid putting off beginners.
I actually bore my friends with the details of what I like about GWs. It’s the first game that I have encountered that has something in it that appeals to both my partner and I. We usually have different taste in games.
My main goal in GW: I’d like to finish the story with most of my characters, get all of them some sort of title and get all of them the armor that I have decided for them. What’s that going to take me? Two more years? I’m not in any hurry for GWs2.
A new goal – maybe I should find other active players to game with daily since my good friends are extremely casual players and my hubby is tired of the nerfing and wants to quit and I think solo play can get dull.

Hey we love fresh meat

hi im your usual guildwars addict. Had my first taste april 2007 and have been hooked since then =]

Started off PvE, but when i found my way to PvP, it seems theres nothing else like it =].

Hmm, I haven't introduced myself, so here I go!

My name is Roxanne, and I started playing guild wars about 3 weeks ago.
I have one level 20 character so far and her name is " Goddess Elaine ". She's
a monk and wear full elite luxon armor.

Feel free to msg me in game... It wouldn't hurt to make new friends!

I must be blind..I just noticed this thread was here.

Holas, my name is Trub....(IGN anyways)
I'm a member of [SMS]/ and I love guild wars.(I am the only female player in my guild...zomg)
(Why does this feel like a support group meeting?)
I have been playing this magnificent game since Beta times....and still going strong!
I was there when that little (insert baaaaaad name here) Gwen burned us all to the UW.
I will continue to be here (GW) until the final frame. (NUUUUUUUUU never close GW!)
I have seen players come and go...some leave, only to return.
Anyways, again a huge hug to all!
Don't forget to bring me dyes and cookies if we ever meet in game..

PvE Helpful Hint #1642: Don't mess with Master of Whispers thimble collection.

Hello loyal Guru attendees! I'm FengShuiDove, Dove is preferable, and I've been looking for a community of Guild Wars players to coincide with my love of the game! I'm 18 years old from Kansas, USA, and I've been playing GW for almost a year now. I have all campaigns plus GWEN (and soon the Bonus Mission Pack as well), and I'm still playing through them all with all characters.

I have a character of every profession, but my favorites are my original character, Aule Illuvatar (Elementalist) and my Assassin, Jin Hwoarang, my title chaser and the one who sees most of the action recently.

I mostly PvE and farm, but I love to AB (after all, gotta get those titles) and occasionally PvP (which I think I'd enjoy more if I found a good guild/group of folks to practice and learn with).

Hopefully I'll be seeing a lot of action on the seller's market on here which I'm very happy to have finally found. You can expect to find me there and, depending on if/how much you entertain me, around here as well!

Nice to meet you all and hope to get to know the place better soon!

Quick write up Bio,

I'm a 29 year old Canadian who found his way to Ohio in 2000 to attend University. I studied Tech-Management with a major in E-Commerce Marketing. Not being a fan of having a career inside a cubicle, I never pursued, directly, my career in such a field. Now I am working on my own career in Photography & Fine Art design and publication. Lots of work left to do, but it's something I love and something I'm good at. That's what matters most to me. That and it makes life easier being my own boss

Personality wise, I'm a bit of everything, but very approachable. If you ever come across me in-game, feel free to say hello.

In regards to the game, I've been playing since Christmas, 2006 when I recieved GW Prophicies as a gift. I've been hooked ever since. I purchased Nightfall as my second campaign in June, 2007. Factions soon followed in August, 2007. I've yet to purchase EoTN, but have plans too when possible.

Overall I'm just here to have a blast. I've never been one to take games themselves too seriously. That doesn't mean I'm not driven to achieve, but it does mean that if I fail at something, or get my ass kicked, I have a tendancy to laugh it off and just keep trying. If I can't have fun, even in death, I know it's time to step away.

That's all for now. See you in game.

Well I guess it would be appropriate to post a second intro, as I haven't played at all in almost 2 years. I've been around since the launch of Guild Wars, and used to play it WAY too much haha. Long story, but my circumstances changed and I just couldn't find time for it. But I'm back at least to some extent now, back in my old guild, and I look forward to getting back into the GW community!

Hi, Im It's.
Named after the Monty Python thing.
Ive been playing since GW came out but I grow bored and I havent finished anyone of the episodes, and I have them all. Im enjoying Nightfall and GWEN, but soon want to finish all of them.
Im also currently looking for a guild who can handle my bad jokes.

Hi everyone! I bought the original GW a year ago, but never really got to playing it. I'm hoping to have a great time though! See you folks around!

Hello all.

I registerd a long time ago (more than a year ) but after the day that i resigned i forgot my password.. silly me, and i never bothered to ask what my password was until a few minutes ago.

I checked this forum now and then, and now I signed up for real.

I play Guild wars since 15 December 2005.
I like all the campaigns and the expansion.

And last, I hope to have a good time here

Now that I've been on the forums off and on for a year, I might as well give an intro. :P Name's Sarah, I'm 25, I live in the States, I play primarily PvE although I've been desperate enough for Luxon faction to try PvP a few times. I just prefer fighting the AI since I'm an extremely casual player and not big on competitions with sore losers AND winners.

I've had GW for about a year and a half; I play it off and on. Have all three campaigns + GW:EN + BMP, but I have a job and do plenty of other stuff so I have yet to beat GW:EN. I only recently beat NF. I have Protector of Tyria and Cantha, though. I don't grind titles much at all, so I'm proud of both.

I wish I had a Tengu Mask.

My guild is tiny -- five whole people -- and made up of a group of roleplayers with our own little created world. I believe we're on the wiki under RP Guilds. We do RP in-game, but we're not the obnoxious "Forsooth, fair maiden" type.

I mainly play a Dervish, though I'm not good at it. But I've already put so much effort and money into her titles and stuff that I refuse to delete her now. :P I play every class in the game, although I fully admit that I can't sin or healbot to save my life.

I'm one of those annoying vain players who will grind for hours to reach and afford just the right armor set/mix, then spend forever applying dyes until it looks just right.

This is getting so dull that even I don't want to read it, so I'll stop here.

Hello people of guild wars. My name is Nathan Murray and I am here all the way from world of warcraft. I am the resident noob now since I haven't even gotten the game yet (getting it for Christmas). I think my experience is going to be awesome here. I will pick things up and if I ask stupid questions I do have justification for it. I enjoy MMORPG's and I really like the look of guild wars. I hope I can make a ton of friends and have an awesome time here. Umm some directions to a Q & A form would be appreciated. I also would like directions to a forum where I could get profession or class recommendations since I am the noob here.

Been a lurker on these forums for a while, finally decided to join. As for GW, I started nearly 3 years ago, but then quit after a few days. Started playing again sometime in June and been enjoying it a lot. Currently trying to learn the ropes of PvP so I've been reading up a lot on the forums and other sites. Any tips will be greatly appreciated

welcome to the new guys

I'm Jaime! I just started playing maybe two weeks ago, I think? I'm up to level 9 pre-searing, waiting for a friend to catch up before I go to the Northlands. On one char, I already did a quest post-searing with my guild, and it was scary ;_; I like pre-searing better.

I prefer talking on teamspeak during games, because I haven't quite mastered typing while using controls yet. I go "WHY AREN'T I ATTACKING?!" then look at the text box... "wwwdddwd113333333" >.< sigh.

Figured I should post here since I am new to game and board...

This is my third MMO (CoV, WoW) and before that, I was way into D2: LOD. Speaking of, it's on my laptop now for when boredom strikes at school.

I work and go to school, trying to get through a biology degree. I have a passionate love of coffee.

I've used Vent...I just have to put back on my computer.

Ok, been lurking a while and now that this forum has unexplicably become quicker (and I can now browse at leisure while I'm supposed to be working) I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm British (Welsh) but working with the British Army in Canada at the moment.
I'm obsessed with bikes and cars (Subaru STi, KTM 660 SMC, GSXR1000 K5 and a KTM 350 GS

Chars: W/ Little Caeser (Main)
