Occasionally Asked Questions
Q. Why are all your characters female? A. Simply because I have to look at them a lot, and I prefer their appearance to the male characters.

Q. Where do you get the names for your characters? A. The place names are all taken from the Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance.

Q. What other games do you play, apart from Guild Wars? A. I rarely play any other games these days, as I find that Guild Wars is hungry for all the PC gaming time I have available. I used to play Real-Time Strategy games but found these lacking in depth, with the exception of the Total War games, all of which I own and have played for years until there was nothing left to kill.

Q. What is it that keeps you coming back to Guild Wars? A. The size and depth of the gameworld, the ease of use and playability of the interface, the personalisation of the characters, and the emphasis on co-operative gameplay. The last point is most important to me. I've spent many hours on single player 'me vs AI' games, which you either win because the AI is stupid and predictable, or lose because the AI can process faster than you. Human vs Human games generally lack interest for me because they tend to be won by the player with most experience and practice. Co-operative gameplay really is the best, and very few good computer games of this nature exist.
