    My password was a combination of 2 words that I thought had nothing to do with each other (then realized both could be found in the dictionary) followed by a number. Thankfully, it was a password that I only ever used for GW.

    The IP address that my password was changed from was in Southeast Asia, and in talking with GW support they were able to confirm that it was a Goldseller that got my account.

    So yeah, don't use dictionary words, and mix numbers in with the letters for more security.

    and finally, my Mesmer

    her name is Bratty Princess and I adore her, she's probably the character I PvP with most often

    Man I wish I'd been in to this back in the day. Getting the game and all the expansions now would be like $70 and I don't think it's worth all that

    I just logged in and someone I used to play with was on, he's telling me that currently you can make a lot of money by farming the Spectral Vaettirs in eye of the north for halloween candy :P

    how does that make you money though?

    people want the candy because if you eat ten thousand you get a Title, which translates to benefits in GW2 maybe

    so they're willing to buy the candy off you
    which is only available at halloween and other holidays
    so you can find desperate people to buy lots of candy for lots of money

    is 15k guild wars lingo for like, tier 7 or whatever World of Warcraft had when I quit

    it's "ascended" armor

    it's not tiered, all the stats are the same as regular armor

    you just pay a bit more money (15k gold a piece) to have awesome looking armor

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    (I also logged in to find about 40 minipets waiting for me, as even my PvP characters got them for their birthdays)

    my mesmer and my monk are probably my favourite characters to play with at the moment

    but I did reroll a warrior and an ele and they are trekking through low-level Ascalon and Nightfalla the moment

    I don't think my warrior has even done Fort Ranik yet, and my ele's still on the island

    this is why I want a guild that PvPs, because if you're guildmates they know they can take the time to teach you, which means you will play with them more often

    that said I have my deer, and that gets me into enough teams I guess

    I'm a pretty good RC monk when my ping is good... but I can never play WoH or Infuse because I lag a bit too much to catch a spike

    pretty good Warrior and Mesmer though, provided interrupting <2-second skills isn't part of the build

    some of the highest ranked PvP players (phoenix /rank and all)... I found out they know almost nothing about the PvE side of the game

    like, when the betas were out they always PvPed and when the game came out they played PvE for a while, got bored, and went back to PvP

    since you can use combat faction to unlock skills, they never really needed to play it!

    a clean Varesh might be worth quite a bit actually

    because there's zero supply and probably a decent amount of demand

    you don't get the actual minipet carried over from the looks of it, but if you put certain landmark numbers into the hall of monuments you get points toward your guild wars 2 account which give out rewards at certain point values or something

    there's a thing about it on the gw2 website

    I was actually pretty unimpressed with the elite skills they had available

    they were both "turn into some sort of weather and move around for fifteen seconds"

    which is COOL, but considering they're cutting down on the number of skills in the game, I hope there aren't many clones

    oh

    and Nightfall has a Snakes on a Plane reference in it... the quest is called "Drakes on a Plain" and the "way" you finish it is basically right out of the movie

    the skills are all incredibly balanced, even the elites

    I really, really want to see what the skills in GW2 look like, because I quite like the ones in GW1

    like if it does something impossibly awesome, it probably costs 25 energy and lasts like 5 seconds

    I don't know I guess the last MMO I played was WoW, and it was a LONG time ago even then but the mobility aspect of GW2 was really neat to me

    like even that elementalist flip-back skill was a departure from what I was used to
