The Official Introductions Thread!
AshenX
Hello all. I have been an off and on visitor to Guru for some time and finally decided to register. Ive played GW for 2 years now (my primary character is a ranger/whatever named Ashen Snow) and am part of a guild/alliance that are my best friends in the outside world as well as in game. I look forward to reading all of the exciting/ wonderful/ bizarre/ minbending posts.

Hey guys, I'm new here. Infact I am pretty new to the whole Guild Wars experience. Even though I originally got the game like a week after release, I've only just got into it.
I hope this community is accepting of me, I try not to annoy anyone :X

Mordinar
Hi,
well I'm new to both GW and this Forum, I started playing about a month ago.
I have bought GW: Nightfall, my main character is a Ranger/Necromancer called Mordinar Bloodwolf (when posting this it's still lvl 14).
Together with a good friend of mine (I know him really well in real life) we have a starting Guild called Oost Crust (it's Dutch).
I hope this forum can help me with the minor problems I might encounter ingame.
cheers and beers!

This is my first post here, after spending a few months lurking, so I'll say Hi first off!! I've been playing GW since it came out in '95 and it's the only MMO I've stuck with (played FF11, WoW ((very dissapointed, tbh)) Matrix Online, City of Hero's/Villians, D&D online, LotR online). I started playing again a few months ago and want to give it a bit more of a go now!! Nearly got my R/N to 20 and am working it mainly to a PvP build atm.
The thing I was wondering, after playing a whole stack of MMO's out there, what does everyone think of Anet's events? I always seem to miss them, so I'm just wondering what people think who've actually been there. Are they worth it for the experience/items or just a bit overrated?
There ya go, I've unlurked =P

Hello everyone! I have been playing GW off and on now for a few months but haven;t really had the time to get too into it due to time constraints. Now I am ready to get going again and figured I'd look for a good forum to get some advice and tips on getting the most out of GW. Anyways, I look forward to learning a lot

Hey everyone, havent gotten the game yet but when I do, I plan on getting GW: Prophecies, I have read up on the game a little so far but I dont know enough and I was wondering if someone with more experience would be able to tell me what type of profession/secondary would be good for me.
I want it to be fun in PvE and hopefully not totally dependent on a party to be successful. And also a profession that when I am done I'll be desirable/effective in groups for PvP fights. (the one I have researched most in depth and seems most interesting so far is the elementalist/something)

Ele/Monk is a pretty good start off combo. GW is all about grouping though, it's supposed to be soloed.
Don't worry so much about PvP early on. It's much easier/better to create PvP chars, that way you can have max gear etc. Making a PvE char PvP ready is extremely expensive (if done right).

Alisaundre
First introduced to MMOs through GW almost 3 years ago and just now at the point of wanting to dig in and understand more of whats going on in game and reading the posts here (most of it goes way over my head).
Started off with a Mesmer/Ranger - by that time the friend who intro'd me left me to my own devices and I thought it sounded good at the time. I feel like a newbie in Lvl20 clothing - or something.
She can't get through the simplest areas and I'm looking for some way to get her through at least Prophecies with the full intent on changing her secondary.

Mesmer/Ranger heh yeah bad choice. Once you hit the desert you can change your secondary.
If you're struggling get your guild involved, if they don't help, leave. There is plenty of guilds around.

TPike
New to MMORPGs.
I started playing Nightfall - now a level 11 Dervish/Elementalist.
Put off choosing a second career as long as I could, still picked the wrong one, meh.
I have a LOT of questions but I'll try to find out if someone asked them first by searching.
After 2 days I bought the extra skill set - probably a waste because I can barely use the skills I have now.
I'm planning on buying the BMP when I get home from work just for extra weapons and slots.

hey,
I've been playing guild wars since a little after it came out on the market some time ago. I mostly played the original game till a few months ago now I have them all. I mostly use my first character made which was Dark Sketch who's a necromancer/monk. No actually build as of yet...was thinking of going with a MM build. If you need help with a mission or quest and I'm online I'm willing to help if I can.
anyway I'm happy to found a place that I can use along side the game itself.

So, hey.
I'm new around here, although I've been playing GW for over a year. I've joined mostly to lurk and to post about my project (which is still to be approved in Community works forum. I mean, IF it gets approved).
I own all games and I'm dedicated to pimping out 1 character as much as possible. Also helping the 1-digit number of guildmates if they happen to be online after 1 week - 2 month gaps.
Also, I'll try not to post anything stupid. I'll try.

Missed this thread earlier. Guess I had better introduce myself.
Been playing GW for some time now, more so these past 18 months after I got pissed off with WoW. My main is a ranger but I have lots of alts (only ones I dont have are Paragon and Mesmer primaries)
So Umm hey

Hi, I have been playing this great game for a little under 3 months now. I have had the pleasure of expieriencing every class available, except for Nightfall. I was starting to get bored of dying repetitively, as well as not having money. So, if anyone here would like to add me in-game and talk about different strategies/tips, that would be great.
Thanks.

Welcome to the game, and welcome to GW Guru! The finest repository of GW obbsessed minds on the internet.
Here's a tip for you; if you can have two henchmen Monks then there's probably a reason for you to have two of them.

Hello everyone. I've just begun my Prophecies adventure! The bad thing is that I don't have the Internet at home (looking into dial up but I don't want to go back to that!). I am trying to scour the Forum for helpful tips, information etc. but there is just so much it's overwhelming. Right now I am a N/Mo. I am trying to get my Necro skills but realize I may need to just 'play through'.
For instance, I am trying to reach the Sanitarium but somehow can't get there? I like to know what I'm doing before I do it, but know that in order to figure out GW I've just got to play. So far the Wiki has like tons of info.....but if there are any other tips someone wants to provide I'm an eager learner! I haven't done much with other people yet, a few, but I've been using henchmen. I have joined a guild but I just feel awkward because I am so new and everyone else has like high Lvl characters and well frankly don't know much about what I'm doing. I basically just kinda go through with the game, do my quests, a mission or two (I'm waiting on the missions to get more familiar with the game).
Anyway, looking forward to reading through the forums and maybe getting more involved.
My character is Josephina. Always looking for new friends.
Thanks!

Err....you don't have internet at home? How are you playing, if I might ask?
Welcome all the same! Don't be afraid to ask us questions in the Q&A forum if your guildmates aren't so helpful. They should be though, so don't be afraid to ask them questions.
If they're jerks about it, I would suggest finding another guild.

hey, new to the forum and just coming back to the game after a 3-4 year break lol. I am soooo lost but hanging in there. Its just so overwhelming when there are 24323 new items on my trade chat being traded. I recall first logging in last week going " wtf is an inscription and what the heck is this bone dragon pet" lol
Fluffiliscious
Welcome back. You can turn the annoying trade channels off, just in case you didn't know.

Hello~
I'm HatteryBasket. Just call me Hat for short : DDD
I've been playing GuildWars for a good eight months now. Been lurking here for something like a month or two.
I'll try not to go back into my lurking status and show that I am infact alive despite popular belief that I've somehow stopped existing all together.
Uhm...Love me? : D;;

Haven't been in here for a while. Welcome to all of you new members. Enjoy the forums and the game.
Just remember, as you need armor in game to protect your character, you also need a thick skin to protect yourself from forum flamers.

1. Do not buy anything from another player that you can find in the game. Believe me when you follow this simple rule you will have lots of gold in the bank
2. Turn off local chat and trade channels. Join a guild, or make one and join an Alliance. Since following this advice the game has become alot more enjoyable.
3. Always use the XP bonus at shrines to power lvl. Very quick, very easy.
4. Have FUN!

Trying to farm for a specific item can takes months/years. Gold is easy to come by anyway.

Hello. I started playing about 5 months ago and went from having just Nightfall to all the campaigns/add-ons--very addictive game.
One of my guildmates linked this site, and the information has been quite helpful (and thanks for that!), so I thought I'd join.
Edit @ Katsumi below: I will happily say hello to Carth for you. LOL
I usually lurk awhile on a forum before joining and posting to get a feel for the community. That way I don't join flame-fest forums.
