Past Characters in Guild Wars

 * Rabastan Lestrange, E/W, Male, lvl10, recently "rebooted" to be an E/Me. Had reached Yak's Bend, but not all Ascalon map markers were unlocked. Name derived from Harry Potter.
 * Firemaster Haltogg, E, Male, lvl1, this character was my first when I was just testing the game out, however in my Guild I do still show up as having this name.
 * Caracatus Burke, E, Male, lvl1, when I wasn't sure of how to spell Caractacus Burke's name (from Harry Potter) due to the fact that it was spelt incorrectly on Wikipedia. Also called R Lestrange Presear.

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!

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, so you won't see me online in the near future. FYI the dates I will be on are:


 * 17 March - 21 March (a few days between end of term and my holiday)
 * 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).
