I started Guild Wars on the fine day of December 24, 2005 ('Twas on sale for $30). Since then, I have been a huge fan. (Huge enough to pre-order Factions and Nightfall, but not buy the collector's editions, haha.)

I'm not new to guildwiki.com, but I'm relatively new for contributing. Most of my contributions have been for Wintersday 2006 since I'm on vacation from university. As for everything else, I'm usually too busy with school to get "new" information for the site. (By the time I can get around to the campaigns, all of the information is already here!) Along with plenty of other people, I usually have guildwiki open as I play--mainly looking up the use of drops for collectors or for help in making my own builds.

Regardless of university, I think I play Guild Wars a lot. I'd still be considered a casual gamer based on what I do when I'm actually playing. I tend to stay away from places like the Underworld. I've only been to Urgoz's Warren and The Deep during the weekend that they were easier to access. I didn't really try the Deep (went in solo just to check it out) as I am a Kurzick. Urgoz's Warren was an amazing place. A true challenge. I look forward to the Domain of Anguish--since that's supposedly the same difficulty but easier to access than Urgoz's. I regret not leaving a way back into Urgoz's Warren and The Deep though...

I only like those places for the challenge--not the "farming". With a game like Guild Wars, I have so far found it pointless to go for Obsidian Armor, or to try to accumulate a lot of wealth. I'm very against the "grind" offered by other MMO's, and the way you can still have max stats without farming is one of the reasons I love Guild Wars.

As for PvP...I stay in Random Arenas, since I'm constantly just reinventing builds, and not applying them to things like the Hall of Heroes (which I'd like to go to someday.)

The only thing I hate about Guild Wars is the fact that in order to get into parties heading to the Hall of Heroes, or Urgoz's Warren...you must be a cookie-cutter build or the party won't accept you. Playing an SS Necro gets old.

More to come.
