Guildwars Characters
Neither character (click the names for more info) has any expensive armor or weapons since I am not willing to waste any money on good looking (but otherwise useless) items.

While I did give every PvE part of the game a try at least, I have never been into Gold farming or doing other farming a lot. The Canthan Elite Missions are something I still look forward to, but I am burned out with the rest of Canthan PvE, since bringing all my four characters through the storyline. A lot of my time is spend in PvP, either guild matches (if my european-american mixed guild manages to get both parts of the world online at the same time) or the other PvP parts apart from Heroes' Ascent, which I have stopped playing a few months ago.

Guild Wiki
My first field of interest on the wiki was expanding the (then) very poor PvP section. By now I am mainly concerned with the rapidly developing builds part. Apart from that, I got into the deeper workings of the wiki by thinking about help pages, the issue of Votes or categorizing. If I am not busy doing any of those, I am usually found checking the talk pages of various articles.

April 1st 2006
The new upcoming Guild Wars expansion Guild Wars Miners and Traders is announced. Thanks to all who helped (in true wiki-tradition) to evolve even aprils fool jokes into better aprils fool jokes.

Wikifatigue
For some time now, I have been looking forward to the day when views for the builds portal hit 1.000.000. Then I wanted to make a little "pat on your back" post, thanking people for contributing, testing, helping create a popular wiki feature and so on.

Just now, I read the newest section on Talk:Builds, which comes down to we dont like builds on the wiki, because they are to many of them. While lining up the arguments against that newest attack on builds in my head, I finally realised: I should not have to defend something that is at the moment one of the most popular pages of the wiki. And I should even less feel compelled to do so.

In the last 10 days, I have defended the current practise of vetting for build on at least as many talk pages, against maybe double the number of people. I stopped comming to the wiki to look for new fun builds to try, or even just to make some clean ups on new builds, my first clicks are on Talk:Builds and GuildWiki talk:Style and formatting/Builds and User talk:Tanaric to check who might be the newest person to complain about builds vetting/their build being treated unfairly/builds not belonging on the wiki. While browsing the wiki, my mind is almost entirely set to defensive mode, fencing off attacks from all sides. It should not be that way. It should not be that way, because I might get stuck in a set of mind and not listen to good suggestions anymore, but it should even more so not be that way, because I should not start getting bogged down by a hobby which is supposed to be fun so much. So what if people decide they dont like builds anymore, let them abolish all votes and insert featured builds, discussion till consensus, or whatever is the latest suggestion. I still think that voting is the best procedure, but I get the feeling that I am quite lonely with that believe: For every post backing voting up not done by me, there are 20 arguing against it. If there is truely noone else but me who likes the current way, then we should change it. It is time that I take a step back all the battling and start having fun again while being on the wiki.

Name: Xeeron
The name Xeeron was made up by me, ages ago, when I started to play my first internet game, Magestorm. I wanted a name that is easily pronounced in both German and English, a short one and hopefully a unique one. It is not totally unique anymore, but 75% of the Google entries are mine, which I consider good for a 6 letter word.

It has since become my Internet pseudonym on boards, wikis and various games. Both the family name Tencteri and the names Sanare and Sangui are derived from latin (despite my hate for that subject back in school, lol).

''The link leads to a page I set up in rememberance of my first guild in Magestorm, which died long time ago. It is designed after the Magestorm UI, with mostly ingame grafics being used.''

Guild: Strike Force (SF)
We are a rather old guild (by internet standarts) founded more than 7 years ago. Having migrated here when our home game Magestorm began to die, we are now based in Guild Wars. Many are old Magestorm players, but we picked up a bunch of talented new players during the Beta weekends. Most of us play a lot of PvE, however the main interest of the guild is in PvP, whenever we manage to get both the European and American members online at the same time, we can be found fighting guild matches. The guild is rather family-like, with only about 20 active members, and has a distict drive towards spontanious crazyness. Apart from GW, some of us are Beta crazy, testing out whatever new game is available, or we have fun with a quick round of gunbound. Heart and soul of the guild are the message boards.

Notes to Self

 * Need to learn to use minor edit, must not edit late at night.
 * Must not sit and click on Recent changes every 30 seconds to check whether something happened. Unhealthy. Addiction. Bad.
 * NEVER again use a monster like Tomb of the Primeval Kings maps for a category name. You will regret it!
 * Ok, so Guildwiki does log me out when I take a bit longer to click on save page. Bad wiki!
 * Googleyournamewhilebeingbored reveals: Guildwiki > all other pages I visit.
 * If looking for templates, go here: Category:Templates
 * Before doubting your memory and recreating an entire article, look for Upper Case Articles or lower case articles of the name.
 * When searching for RGB codes the next time: color codes
