Guild Wars is simply The game I have been playing since June 2005 and it literally eats all my spare time. As of right now I am taking a little break between high school and college and I spend numerous hours everyday (not 24/7) on the game. Though I greatly enjoy games from the Final Fantasy Series, Kingdom Hearts (I & II), Chrono Cross and other RPGs, Guild Wars is one open-minded game filled with so many aspects that it is hard to touch everything in deep in the game. I began playing this game in PvE (FYI some people started playing the game in PvP)). My first character is a Ranger and it is the character that I now value the most over my other ones because of the versatility of the class as. One of my current goal is to obtain as many titles as possible on this character and since I don't eBay GW money, some titles are going to be either insanely long to acquire or I just won't bother.

Btw I live in Quebec, Canada (South of Montreal). After playing a while with my second character, an elementalist, I was wondering what was that area at the north of Dragon's Lair (Back when Tomb of the Primeval Kings was a PvP Arena) and as soon as I discovered I instantly decided to jump into PvP. I got my first points of fame by doing Air Spike and Ranger Builds back in the days where Burial Mounds was filled with 6 teams and Broken Tower with 3 teams. When I finally got rank 3, I had some little PvP experience and knowledge in my pocket and I was ready to go further on which I did with pleasure. Meanwhile I got into those rank3+ guilds and witnessed the birth of IWAY and Trappers in PvP. I pretty much remember everything from the Metagame since back then but it's just good ole souvenirs...or not (IWAY). I personally never abused of builds such as IWAY or Vimway to make my way through the ranks as I got my rank 6 mostly playing an Earth Elementalist and making my own Vim Groups(Old School build: 1 E/X EQ/As Warder, 2 R/Me Resolve Trappers, 1 N/E Tainted Windborne, 1 W/E Gale Warrior, 2 Mo/W ViM Healer, 1 Active Prot).

As I reached 2500 fame, I had to leave GW for a while to take care of some life affairs (around May 2006) and came back 2 months after (July 2006). I took advantage of the double-fame weekend to learn about the changes in the PvP world and to start playing again until I reached 3915 fame (recently) by PuGing over and over again...(insanely long and isn't always very joyful). While desesperately wanting to achieve rank 9, I believe I'll get the last 750 fame someday but I decided to focus into PvE. I first obtained the Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer Title without using the photoshop trick. Then did the same for the Canthan Grandmaster Cartographer and then went on to Protector of Tyria and Protector of Cantha. Sicne my main character died numerous times, the legendary survivor title is impossible and I am waiting for Nightfall to achieve the Kind of a Big Deal title on my Ranger. For the few ones who read and understood this, I think I might make a longer version (good ole days...) and I hope you enjoyed.
