About Me +

My name's Regina. :-)

I was born in Southeast Asia, raised in North America, and went to university in Europe. I have an undergraduate degree in Management and a Master's degree in Organizational and Social Psychology. I wrote my Master's thesis on video game culture. Ever since my university days, I've maintained a strong interest in gaming culture and communities.

I've been a gamer for many years. I had a Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 when I was a kid, but I really cut my gaming teeth on the NES and SNES. I took somewhat of a break from console gaming during my university years, and spent my time and money on portable and arcade gaming. After university, when I got a job and actually had money to buy a computer, I started PC gaming. In general, I enjoy action adventure games, role-playing games, and rhythm games, though I will give just about any game a try.

I'm part of a team of community managers for Guild Wars, which includes Martin Kerstein, our German Community Manager. As part of our roles as community managers, we monitor and convey your feedback to the ArenaNet developers. I also assist in writing and editing content for the official Guild Wars website (such as Developer Updates, and other articles), attend conventions to meet fans, organize our public appearance at conventions (be it at our booth or an offsite meet and greet), consult with members of the Live Team on what's happening in the game, advise on and help draft policy, and a bunch of other responsibilities.

Guild Wars

I've been playing Guild Wars since 2005. My main character on my personal account is a Tyrian Necromancer/Mesmer. I have two more heavily used alts, a Canthan Warrior/Mesmer (typically) and an Elonian Paragon/Warrior. I have a Pre-Searing Mesmer that I'm trying to get to 20, but that's a back burner project for now. I have various other characters that are used for storage or have been abandoned due to time constraints or because I decided I didn't like their appearance after all (but I didn't want to delete them). Although my main character is a Necromancer primary, my favorite Profession is the Mesmer, followed by Necromancer.

I'm already a member of a guild on my personal account, and I'm not planning on leaving them anytime soon. Thanks for the offers, though. :-)

Please don't think I am ignoring you if I can't reply right away or at all. If my status is set to 'Busy' this means that I can't chat because I am working on something time sensitive. Thank you in advance for your understanding. :-)
