=About Me=

Hello, my real name is Kris, and I'd like to say thank you for coming down to check out my page. I have been playing Guild Wars for about two years, with my first character being a Monk. After a little while I obtained Guild Wars: Factions, where I learned more about the ways of the Assassin. When I started to have problems, I came here. I was so charmed by the regulars, that I decided to try to help this community.

=On the Wiki= Though I have only been on the wiki for a short time, I have been playing Guild Wars Prophecies and (to a slightly lesser extent) Factions for a little over a year now. I first came into contact with Guild Wars Official Wiki though the Help Menu accessed by F10 in one of the updates. As I gazed down the list, I discovered links to my Guild page,. I decided, why not, and signed up for the account. I had used the wiki before, I thought, why not give back? So I created the page, and ran into several people telling me that's not the way we do things around here. I didn't know at the time that capitalization counted, that images had a way to be name and many other things. Though, my first ever edit was on Bergen Hot Springs, and a meager one at that. I call the creation of PTK's page my first true edit. I hope that maybe I can help others, like they have helped me throughout Guild Wars and the Wiki. I tend to make patrols of the recent changes, and (ironically enough) patrol new images to make sure they are tagged right. I'd like to think my work on the wiki here makes a big difference, and I really enjoy my time here. Cool things have been happening here, and I'm quite happy with how things are turning out!

Currently, I'm trying to learn advanced wikicode, the basics of html and the like so I can better myself here.

On some other wikis I am also trying to write policies and new

=The First Time=

Monking!
It was quite difficult learning this game. With terminology to learn (HA, GvG, AoE, WoH etc..), made it almost like a second language. I first created my Monk with the Secondary profession of an Elementalist because I wanted to dish out the damage along with using Healing Prayers to help my allies. That was a mistake, because I didn't have enough Energy to go around. I learned as a Monk that Energy management is vital to success to avoid a wipe. In time, I learned several other things about the other classes the hard way (Mesmers dealing in Energy denial, man was that a pain). Now, I'm fairly experienced.

Sinning!
The Assassin was a new breed of character for me, though I do not remember exactly why it intrigued me. Their skills seemed cool as lead attacks came to off-hand attacks and dual attacks for devastating damage. I often died as I was not used to being on the attacking side. I often overextended and died out-of-range of our  Monks. Though I have a particular satisfaction taking down soft targets like  Mesmers, other Monks, and Elementalists especially. Though, I like to farm ectos at Tomb of the Primeval Kings.
