This particular player has been renown as being helpful to new players and sacrificial of his time to assist with others needs. His appearance is frequent around low level areas where high level characters are a rarity. Many have come upon him whether joining through simple conversations or in parties needing assitence and have commented on his kindess and consideration of others.

I decided that during my time with "Arcane of Wisdom" that I'de ask him a few questions, I explained that I was interested in interviewing him.

He agreed so I started by asking him about his guild, assuming that a well dressed character as himself must be in a well reknown guild. In his own words: "My guild isnt anything fancy, I've been leader of it since the beginning occasionally going inactive because of real life issues, There are lots of guilds out there that would own my guild any day, its just a group of friends having a good time and trying to make the game better for everyone else. I followed with asking him: how long has your guild been around? "I've been founder and guildmaster of this guild "Shadows Past" since nearly the release of Guild Wars." I wasnt able to get anymore questions from him, because he explained to me politely that the other party members were waiting patiently for me to finish my questioning. Therefore the statements I got out of him were few, I will have to say this player was kind enough that I saw fit he should have his own section online for others to come across him. I have let him know that through my interviewing he would be given the opportunity to help many more people, and he merely stated: "If they dont come to me, I'll come to them, atleast if I can find them"

He has a few characters he explained he helped others with, into which the names he disclosed to me:

Arcane of Wisdom Arcane of Shadows(Permanent Pre-Searing Monk/Necro)He uses to assist new players in prophecies Arcane of Judgement(Dervish)

Arcane of Wisdom has been one of the very few people I've met on Guild Wars whose patience while being tested excruciatingly, has withstood the pressure. The person trully enjoys helping people, in his own words: "Guild Wars is a very fun game, and after a long time of playing I've found myself continually enjoying the game, so I figure why not help out other people so they can enjoy the game to the extent that I do" If ever you encounter this player or his guild, show some respect, he explained to me briefly that when he was a low level character, few people helped him but the ones that did he remembered. He told me he helped people not to get anything out of it other than the satisfaction of getting a thank you or seeing someone simply advance closer to the goal few assisted him to get to. Through his persistent effort, he has gained the respect of almost all he has encountered, not because of his armor or fighting abilities, but because of his humble and friendly attitude. My last question he agreed to answer in full at the end of our quest, and the other party members all permitted me to ask it. What makes you enjoy helping people like this?

"I remember when I was a low level character asking people to help me with simple things, and they would just ignore me or push me away, and then that one person came along and asked what I needed help with, and without complaint or anything they helped me, I was determined till that point that the majority of high level characters were jerks, and I was determined not to end up that way, so here I am now in similar shoes of the people who once helped me, having seen the ones ive helped in the past gain high status in the game and come to the same position I am is the satisfaction I look for in the game, but anyways hope that answers your question, im off to go find someone else that needs help if you all are fine here, so ttyl and pm me if you need anything else, aslong as its not money, :-)"

I will have to say that this Arcane of Wisdom has made Guild Wars a more enjoyable experience for me and im sure he can do the same for you.
