Forums : Who are you people?

Smart thinking.

Having taken a year..or maybe just semester I forget..of Visual Basics..I actually understand the joke in your signature, Edward. At least I think I do..turns out computer coding wasn't my forte.

In other school related news, I did get over 97.5% on my physics exam last week, just found out about it today. Yay me. The teacher made a mistake so 2 of the answers that were marked wrong were actually correct, so my true score is gonna be even higher. /proud

i was just kidding it's very interesting ;)

it's nice to finally meet another person who plays Guild Wars. We are the minority in the world of mmo's, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's so hard to find people who play, or at least admit to playing.

Not only do I play (too much), but my avatar pic (<—- over there) is a screencap of my pet white moa bird, General Tso.

It's not as popular as WoW, but GW has two things that I really want from an MMO: (1) instanced areas so I don't have to deal with a hundred people trying to kill the same thing I'm killing and (2) no subscription.

Those are probably the two main reasons why I prefer it to WoW. Being a college student, I'm not too thrilled with paying a monthly fee all the time. I mean, I will admit that I do play WoW sometimes, but I definitely take MANY breaks from it to enjoy the true mmo!

Also, I've got a question for you: Have you looked at Guild Wars 2 at all? It's supposed to be more open-ended, but with a similar instance idea. I don't know…in a way I think that ArenaNet is attempting the WoW route…I'm really looking forward to GW2, but I'm a bit worried about the final product. I'm pretty sure that there won't be a subscription, which is good, but I just really hope they keep their “We're not like WoW” mentality… Anyway, my two cents.

Peace.

Oh, almost forgot. I have been playing my ranger (main) a lot lately, so I thought I'd bring this up: even though I've gone through pretty much everything with him, my pet is still a melandru's stalker, the very first pet I ever tamed…haha. I know that there are better pets out there, but Swift Fang and I have been through a lot; we've bonded…haha, I'm weird like that…

Oo, good call. I'm not sure that it was intended, but I'll side with you in thinking that it is.

Name is Mike, I'm from Redding California.

Currently I am a criminal researcher and a full time student to teach history.

I play World of Warcraft casually, used to be pretty hardcore raiding about 2 years ago.

Was not told that Warlocks also get a free mount. So I picked paladin, and regretted it.

During this casual era, I have obtained some alts All on Terenas US (my warrior was on Stonemaul (PVP US) until I xfferred off a a long while after 60.

Viser - Human Pally 70, Terenas

Aleysia - 70 Night Elf Warrior, Terenas

Janicena - 70 Undead mage - Terenas

Ornela - 70 Human Rogue, - Terenas

Hellgunner - 64 Dwarf Hunter - Terena

Missing PVP servers I decided to level a Tauren druid named Kegosaurus (42) On Natherizm U

…k now I feel sad.

But if you think thats bad, I am one of the last few Arcade Rats that used to float around Street Fighter 2 machines back in the day. its been almost 16 years of me playing that damn game and its reincarnates.

I'm Vanessa. Also from Redding, CA (small world Viser!), although I currently live in the East Bay. I graduated college last year with a degree in Management Information Systems. I currently work as a home heath aide for my grandparents. I'm also working on fulfilling the requirements to get into grad school for a degree in Information Science or something similar.

I've been using a computer since I learned to read (about age 3). The first computer I used was an old 8086 ibm clone. I've been on the internet since the prodigy and compuserv days. I used to love to play Mad Maze on prodigy and some text based zork-like game on compuserv. I've never played WoW, but I do play Guild Wars. I know what you mean about your pet dflyman, my ranger (main) still has her original stalker, I'm pretty attached to my Loki. :D In addition to GW, I play Silkroad and Runescape (okay, try not to laugh too hard at that one :p, its fun!). I also have a Wii and am currently working my way through Smash Bros Brawl.

Other interesting (or not so interesting) stuff about me… I'm addicted to books, I find it difficult to leave a bookstore without buying at least one book (often many). I also spend too much money buying books online :D. I have a small bookcase that is overflowing, each shelf is stacked 2 and 3 deep. At my mom's place I have another bookcase (much larger) that is FULL and 2 & 3 books deep. I can read a 400 page book in 6 hours or less.

I have an awesome 7 year old Bernese Mountain Dog (pretty much the most perfect dog in the world IMO) that goes everywhere with me and makes sure I don't spend too much time lost in books or on my computer. She insists on long walks every day and will start bugging me if she thinks I haven't been playing with her enough.

I think I've bored ya'll long enough :D

Gamer confession: I've never beaten the original Super Mario Brothers.

Near the end of ep.9, Tinkerballa just beat Mario. You think this was a jab at thefount?! Even if not i'm gonna pretend it is.

lol. I'm going to have to guess no on this one. I'm fairly certain that the episode was written and likely even shot well before I posted that. Maybe I'll pretend right along with you. :)

I mostly play as a dervish (he's the one with the white moa as a pet) and a monk, both of which started off in Nightfall, because it's more interesting than Factions, but so much easier to level than in Prophecies. It doesn't seem to matter what I do or which character I use, my pets always seem to evolve Playful –> Hearty while everyone around me has Elder or Dire pets.

Dervish are fun. I run Avatar of Lyssa. It's pretty powerful, in my opinion, and plus…you get to transform! haha. Also, my main for a LONG time was a monk. See, I started my ranger and got him to about level 15, then I started my monk, got through all of prof, factions and nightfall (that was a workout! haha), then picked up with my ranger again and have been playing him ever since. Although, it may be time to go back to my old friend I don't know, just something about having the power to decided the fate of a party is just great. Besides, monks are just great fun in general.

I want a Husky more than anything, and plan to find one as soon as I'm living on my own. They just look so f'in cool..

Huskies are beautiful dogs, but I don't think I could handle the noise LOL, all the ones I've ever met were very vocal-not barky, but howly (I'm making up words now) heheh. Although, they are probably just as good as my Berner at drafting (pulling carts/wagons/etc).
