I don’t even know where to start. I suppose I should say that I’ve always wanted Guild Wars 2, ever since release, but my life at that time was not having it. I recently realized how I’ve managed to pull myself around, and how much I missed mmos. I used to play World of Warcraft avidly for many years, but my hectic life slowly slid me away from it, as well as being burnt out. I tried over and over to immerse myself into Azeroth, but nothing worked, not even a roleplaying server (which is strange since I’m huge into lore and writing – people just were so exclusive about their rp!). So, I quit.
Thats when I realized… Guild Wars 2 was still going strong, and growing! This was my chance! It was with eager impatience that I waited for the game to install and when it did… I was so very, very happy.
New lands to explore, better opportunities to play with others… the lands are beautiful and the character customization had me stumped for an hour. The events are plentiful and amazing, the story so open and free but with just enough linear progress to keep you moving in the right direction. I’m still clueless about crafting, but for now I’m focused on questing and learning the lore – currently of the Sylvari!
I’m very eager to progress Maliel and make him the best he can be. I know I’m going to have fun while doing it! I still have so much to learn, and as a veteran mmo player, this excites me. I’m still rather shy around others and haven’t a guild yet, but someday. For now I’m simply a rogue, a silent hero that appears mid-fight to help and that bows and leaves silently after. A true shadow, but I hope that will change!
Thanks for such a good game, its the relief I sorely needed, haha. If you see a Sylvari named Maliel Riverwind running around, give him a wave!
