I joined GuildWiki mostly out of love for the way wiki communities work so well. What better way to express my appreciation than by becoming a contributor! So, here I am.

My Guild Wars existence
I am fairly new to Guild Wars, having just purchased Prophecies in August of 2006. I generally play only once or twice a week, and my significant other also loves Guild Wars... too bad we don't have two game-capable computers! I do enjoy spending time here at GuildWiki while he's playing, though.

I play only PvE so far, but once I'm more confident I'm sure I'll get into PvP. I loved PvP in my old days of playing text-based RPGs (specifically, at a MUD called Aarchon).

Campgains
I only have the Prophecies Campaign so far. I will purchase Nightfall next, but not for awhile I'm sure (since I'm barely halfway through Prophecies, and have two PvE characters with which I'm working through the story). I'm happy knowing that Factions is available once I'm in need of expanding my Guild Wars world, but it's third in the priority list for me.

The characters I play are Scarlett Carmine (N/Me) and  Jade Viridia (R/E). See also my User:Qrystal/Characters page.

Guild
I think I want to create a guild, rather than join one. I'm not looking to be a part of a big guild, not really interested in a Guild Hall for now, and not going to get into GvG for awhile. I just want some kind of interesting name to be associated with my characters, and I want to be able to communicate easily with my sister when she's online and doing something other than a mutual quest or mission. I would invite other interesting people too. I would also probably want to have the fun of designing a cape. If anyone has any arguments about how it would be good to be part of a bigger guild, I'm all ears. I just don't see it right now. :)

Attitude

 * I love exploring, and occasionally go off by myself with some henchmen so I can accomplish this. I love it when I am fortunate enough to be partnered with a person who feels the same way!


 * I love being a part of a good party that works well together. When I'm low level, I hate being rushed through an area by level 20's uber-pwning everything before I get to help.


 * I love the fact that I can play with my sister, who lives 5 hours away!!


 * I love trying to understand the game mechanics, and seeing how the Guild Wars developers have handled various tricky aspects of multiplayer gaming. This stems from my previous existance at Aarchon, when I was an immortal who helped with programming.  I love learning, in general, which is probably why I love GuildWiki so much... it has already helped me learn so much about the game!!


 * I am semi-social when I am in a group: I like to comment on things a lot, but I don't care to know where everyone's from, or junk like that.  I guess, in a sense, I like the roleplaying aspect... the things I say are often perfectly reasonable things that Scarlett Carmine might say (except if I'm commenting on some aspect of game mechanics).


 * I hate spam of any sort. I hate that selling items seems to have to be done via spamming of the information, and I hate when people spam many times in a row just to get themselves heard.  I hate that guild recruiting is done this way too.  Most of all, I HATE ALL CAPS. :P


 * I also get annoyed when people are announcing that they are looking for a group, and they don't say anything about themselves. The first question that comes to mind when someone is looking for a group is what level and profession they are.  As soon as I realized that I wonder that, I started including my info when I'm announcing LFG.
