My Guild
My Guild is [RB] Rogue Bludgers, a Harry Potter-based guild, in which I am an officer. Our guild hall is Burning Isle. The guild does not really participate in GvG etc at present, however it's a friendly guild, and I'm not really good enough for GvG anyway yet! In my guild I still show up as being called Firemaster Haltogg, an ancient name of mine which I made when I had only just bought the game and I was messing around.

Why I love Pre-Searing

 * I love the way The Catacombs connects everything together.
 * I generally use The Barradin Estate as a base for journeys into the Catacombs, which me and my cousin often refer to as "The Barradin. The Barradin." We also manically sing "Firestarter" by the Prodigy whenever we see a Bandit Firestarter.
 * I love how you can go hunting Charr in the Northlands.
 * I love that little peaceful village in Wizard's Folly which you have to walk for ages to get to.
 * I love how much easier it is to make a living as a trader.
 * In the Post-Searing version of Ascalon City, quite often you type a message into the trade box, and other people are typing so much that it gets lost off the top of the screen in seconds. However in the pre-searing version there are less people and so this problem is lessened. Although there are areas in Post-Searing that have less people in, most traders tend to go to Ascalon City.
 * Especially new players are willing to buy items such as Iron Ingots, which are hard to find, but not hard enough that it makes it impossible.
 * I love how lush everything looks.

GW Access Dates
I unfortunately don't have access to Guild Wars while at University this academic year. However, I'm at home for the holidays at the moment, though I'll be going away soon and so I'm only going to be online for a few days. After 20th March, the dates I will be online are:


 * 24 March - 23 April
 * 30 June - 2 July (a few days between end of term and my holiday)
 * From 22 July onwards.

If you see me online outside these dates, it might possibly be because I'm at my friend's house who does have broadband and a copy of the game, so I may have logged on on his computer to check up on my Guild etc briefly.

Other stuff
I feel rather old for this community sometimes (I met a 12 year old boy the other day who'd lost his way).
