Real Life
Real Name: Roland Schatz

Nationality: Austria (no Kangaroos :P)

Age: 23. In case I forget to update this, I was born in October 1982 ;)

Occupation: University Student (primary profession Computer Science, secondary Mathematics :P)

Guildwars
I play on the european servers, and although my mother tongue is german (at least some sort of german, folks in Germany would propably disagree with that), I always play in the english districts. That's mainly because I think the german translation of the game is stupid.

My characters are:

Ijilda Nyem

 * Female E/Me
 * most of the time Fire/Domination, played as Caster/Anti-Caster
 * sometimes pure Fire when there's need to nuke
 * She's my first character, and still my favourite.

Cirim Whitehand

 * Male E/Mo
 * played as pure monk
 * skill points are only in energy storage, healing and protection
 * At the moment he's in crystal desert.
 * This char is kind of an experiment, and I really like having enough mana to spam the more expensive monk spells. My healing output is rather limited due to the lack of divine favour, but on the other hand, which primary monk can afford casting heal party several times in a battle? ;)
 * Because I miss divine favour, I'll propably focus on protection once I get some elite spells.

Cilya Leighley

 * Female Me/Ne
 * At the moment, Domination/Curses
 * primarily intended to be an anti-everything character
 * She's still in Ascalon
 * I started this character because I really like the Mesmer part of my main character. In general I like the kind of indirect spells, hexes and so on. That's why I chose Necro as second profession. I'd like to turn this character into a real anti-character that does no damage, but has something to stop anyone doing anything ;)

Sir Vesg

 * Male Ne/W
 * I don't play this character any more.
 * This character was my second try, mainly made because I thought I had to try every profession. I soon found out I really don't like playing as warrior, not even as secondary class. Now this char is mainly a mule and will be deleted as soon as I want to try out some other combination.

Guild

 * Followers of the Nameless [Evil]

The main motto of our guild is that we want to create a friendly environment to play in. When we're playing, we won't flame at someone just because he's not very good in the game, we try to help him getting better (at least if he accepts the advise). We won't kick anyone out of the party just because he's AFK for two minutes or just because someone else in the party thinks we absolutely need another monk. We do kick people who are just being stupid, like flaming, playing single player ignoring the rest of the party and so on...

Also we will never leave in the middle of the mission just because we died a few times. I've seen it too often that we die two or three times in a mission, then two people leave and then we win the mission with just 6 people left. This won't happen when you play with the Followers of the Nameless.

The guild was founded by some members of the [fragless] clan. We also got several members from the [GUOD] clan, another Austrian multiplayer clan. The [Evil] guild tag is there because we originally wanted to be the Evil Henchmen guild, but this name was not accepted by the game.

Note that there are sereval guilds with the [Evil] tag. Don't confuse us with them.

Our guild is invite-only. Most of the members know each other in person, if not directly at least over a common friend. We only take new members if some existing guild member knows them personally, so don't bother to ask.

other games
I don't play much beside Guild Wars anymore.

My favourite genre are strategy games. I used to play StarCraft (and BroodWars) a lot, and by now you propably figured out what race was my favourite ;). Now from time to time I play Warcraft 3, but it's just not the same.

I also play a bit Civilization.

As far as RPGs go, I didn't really play them a lot before Guild Wars came out. A bit of Ultima Online, a bit of Baldurs Gate... Also some Diablo (1 and 2), although that's not really what I would consider an RPG. I also really like Japanese Anime RPGs like Chrono Cross or Final Fantasy, mainly because of their cool story.

Oh, and I nearly forgot about my favourite game genre of all time. Mainly because there are no new games in that genre: Adventure Games

No, I don't mean such things as Tomb Raider that only call themselves adventure games, I mean the real thing. Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Arnie goes for Gold, Indiana Jones, Discworld, Sam and Max, ... just to name a few.

Now these were really good games. They still had a story. You had to actually think to beat them. And some of them were really funny, requiring you to think like a cartoon character to solve the puzzles. Too bad games like this are not made anymore, I really enjoyed them.
