About me

I am playing Guild Wars since July 2005 and as soon as I started, I was addicted. I have gathered around 3000 hours playtime and have 10 PvE Characters, 1 of each profession. My main character would be my warrior, who has over 1000 hours. I never really farmed, except for the time Kirins were slaughterable outside Maatu Keep, as I find it boring and not giving much back for the time lost. I play this game for fun, and learned already that the easiest way to earn cash is to play to the game alot and in HM, and not to spend it to just anything.

My birthday is the 7th of November 1988 and I live in Bruges, Belgium. My hobbies are archery, Guild Wars, and spending time with my girl and friends. I am currently following a 1 year PC-Technician training.

About my Guild Wars Experience

Back in the early day of Guild Wars I decided to make my own guild, it was called Ethernal Destination[ED] (yes, WITH the typo). The guild had some great moments, and we even got into the top 500 GvG. I made alot of friends there, who I still know now. Though at all good things must come an end, as the guild started dying. In one of our latest GvG's we met a friendly monk who was guest for us, she was in a guild called 'The DVD Forums [DVDF]' and soon we arranged a friendly unrated GvG. DVDF was back the days using some weird unorganized build - I'll never forget that Thunderclap Ranger - , and we cut trough them like butter. As our guest was playing at our side, she had to hide a week or so in our guild, she got to know us well, and we heard alot about DVDF from her. As [ED] was dying, one of my officers said that it would be wise to move to DVDF when given the opportunity... So we did, the core players of [ED] got accepted into DVDF and the rest of [ED] went their own way.

First thing I noticed when entering DVDF was the massive amount of online players, and all the activities going on there, and soon we joined a droknars forge walk. DVDF was, pretty much like it is now, a very well organised and active PvE guild. In August 2006, I became Officer, and still am. I see it as my duty to serve the alliance in any way possible.

I enjoy every aspect of the game, although I focus on PvE, I have 18 character slots (10 PvE, 7 PvP mules and a random PvP) and still lack storage... For the PvP part I love GvG, HA and AB, as for PvE I enjoy end-game stuff, but also spending alot of time helping my guildees and friends. Actually, almost 99% of the time I'm online I'm actively playing.

Yellow Way

Yellow started out as a joke event when only warriors and paragons came to an organised dungeon trip. Darith and I came up with the idea of only using yellow skills - hence the name. This includes paragon, warrior and norn skills, furthermore only yellow consumables are allowed. Yellow seemed to be very different from what we were used to in GW, especially very tense, fast and sturdy. We blasted trough the dungeon and soon there were more yellow events. With the growing succes, Darith and I decided we should make a fixed team build. Slowly we developped several standalone builds who are made to work together with any of the other builds and we are now!
