I've been playing Guild Wars since I (finally) received a copy of it for Christmas circa 2005, though I didn't install it and create a character until the day after apparently, as "Rickalis Tu Rivers" receives birthday gifts on the 26th of December. I've played Rickalis primarily for the past 9 years as a sword wielding Warrior, hanging out in Prophecies, Nightfall, and Eye of the North. I only recently (as in LATE 2010) completed Factions, but that took some will power as I really dislike Factions. I fell in love with DoA, but due to basic Warrior hate from DoA "elitists" I rolled both a Paragon & a Mesmer in order to get more DoA action.
I have a bit of Guild Wars A.D.D. in the sense that I'll start working on a title, and near the finish line, I'll get bored of the grind, and start on something else. Which is why I've yet to complete Factions (mission & bonus) in finally completed Factions in Hard Mode, get gotten that last 1.2% of cartography in Nightfall, or with the recent update to Survivor, actually ATTAIN a Rank 3 Survivor title (this may be more due to my Kilroy playstyle due to 5 years of Warrior fun).
UPDATE 2013-04-20: I finally attained R3 Survivor, and promptly killed myself in the Domain of Anguish. Dammit. Need the last 1.2% of Tyria, and another 19% of Cantha. Maybe in another 5 years?
UPDATE 2013-05-01: Got that last 1.2% of Tyria, god that was mind numbingly boring. Vanquishing Elona now, saving the worst (Factions) for last :/
UPDATE 2014-03-21: Elona finally vanquished, working on Factions finally. Maybe by year 10 of Guild Wars?
UPDATE 2014-11-05: Ok, I beat the year 10 goal and finally vanquished Cantha. 52 titles left to GWAMM, with 3.5 1.3% left on Factions cartography.
UPDATE 2017-05-27: At 11:11:19 PM, Hawaii Standard Time on May 26, 2017 - I achieved GWAMM. It took 12 years and 3,649 hours to do so. Go me.
UPDATE 2018-01-29: 2018 looks to be the year I max out some 12 year old account wide titles. Kurzick and Treasure Hunter done, Wisdom is like 180 golds away.
Current Guild[edit]
I'm Not Old I Just Got [LAG].
Been a member for over 8 years now. Only real requirement to join is you gotta be over 30. It's part of a huge alliance called MARA, covering both Luxon and Kurzick faction. Somehow I became an officer, even though no one told me?
In-game[edit]
