Guild Wars 2

Will try to keep this brief.
I started playing Guild Wars when I was 14 years old. I remember when Factions came out, followed by Nightfall and Eye of the North. I remember taking a week and half off from work and university for the opening week of GW2.
Even though I was never one of the die hard competitive players, everything about the world of Guild Wars speaks to me in a very nostalgic way, so much so that it hurts when I listen to the soundtrack of pre-searing Ascalon, or think back to the sense of wonder I felt when exploring the more isolated reaches of the Maguuma jungle.
This sense of wonder inspired me to leave my home country of New Zealand and have my own adventure traveling the world. I’m currently living in Northern Scandinavia, 400km north of the Arctic circle training sled huskies in exchange for food and accommodation. I can honestly say that I never would have had the imagination or courage to go on a journey like this, had it not been for the strong influences your games have had on me.
Keep making beautiful, inspiring, captivating games. I’m looking forward to seeing what Heart of Thorns has in store, even though it will be a while before I can return to the game!
Many thanks,
Tom (Quinn Winter)

You’re probably about ready to go through my least favorite time of year up north – spring thaw. Best wishes with your continued adventures.

Cheers mate, I appreciate the kind words! And the forewarning haha

I’m from Europe and though I like it here I would definitely wanna trade places with you and go to New Zealand to live there for a while. New Zealand is so beautiful!

Oh well, I guess it’s true what they say; the grass is always greener on the other side.

Cheers mate!
