Introduce Yourself!

March 7, 2012 - 3:21pm -- Sardu

Yeah, we know it's kind of cheesy, but every forum needs an official introduction thread. So take a few minutes to tell us a little bit about yourself. Are you an original GW player? What profession / race do you plan on playing in GW2? Let us know!

Hello, I'm Meltzeiferion (and

Hello, I'm Meltzeiferion (and Remeliez at the Necrobator forum). I plan to play as a female Sylvari Necromancer in GW2 for my main and I have played GW1, enough at least to have 30 points in my HoM and may possibly work on a second account for another 30~

I've been gaming my whole life really and will probably never stop, though MMO's have certainly been becoming kind of stale for me and I am hoping GW2 will revitalize things for me. Not too much else to say beyond that though, but feel free to ask questions if you really want to know more. :P

Evening folks! My name is

Evening folks! My name is Corvos. I'm going to steal Meltzeiferion's post format because I like it. I'm not 100% sure what my first character is going to be. I'm torn between a Charr Necromancer and a Norn Elementalist. It's hard to argue with the amazing amount of pets/minions you're going to be able to summon as a Necromancer however the idea of swapping between elements on the fly as an Elementalist definitely has my attention. All of this will be a lot easier to decide once the first BWE goes live for pre-purchase! I purchased the GW Trilogy + EotN just recently however I haven't had the opportunity or drive to get my HoM on.

I like to think I really like MMOs however much like Meltzeiferion, I've become bored and worn out with what's currently on the market. I've played through too much of the same and I need a change. That would be the primary reason why I'm so excited for GW2 and why I created an account on this site. I have really high hopes for this game and I don't believe them to be unfounded. I was skeptical at first when all we had was talk but having had the opportunity to really see what the game will have to offer through the gameplay videos from the press beta, I know this is what I've been waiting for.

Howdy ho, migrating from necrobator :)

 

Im a 31 year old norwegian who's played games since gunboat and wolfenstein in dos on a 386 and Atari on consoles.. heh.

When everyone else was fighting over wow beta keys, I was already a guildwars sworn fan, got all CE's of all the expantions, and been ever since. Played other mmo's over the years like anarchy online, Conan, EvE, Aion, Rift, swtor, Warhammer and so on.

 

Really looking forward to GW2 (despite all the hate for the cash shop), especially since my last mmo was Aion, a Korean grindfest..

Jumped on GW2Hub since the community I usually circulate in, (guru) has become pretty dramatic and alot of negative postings.

 

I plan to play a human necro at first, and oh yeah, my old clan SuicideKings has quit, so Im looking for a guild :)

 

Here's to GW2Hub becoming a open and friendly place to hang out in :)

Looking for a mature relaxed and fun guild with vent or TS

Hello all!

Evening all,

I'm a 28 year old Canadian from London, Ontario who is super pumped about GW2. Cant wait for pre-order to start although maybe a bit later so I can scrounge up some money to get it as being a student and getting married is a toll on how much cash reserves you have. Cant wait to talk to you all in the coming months!

Hallo, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.....

Hey, with a new community I felt that a name change was in order.

Anyway, I am Haelyn and have been a member of the Ten Ton Hammer community for nearly 6 years under the user name 'Annatar'.  I am in my earlt forties, a gamer, a bit of a grognard and have a bit of a twisted sense of humour.  Being originally from Australia (before I moved to the US), I spell some words differently.

Watch out for Haelyn...

^^

...that guy's going to own this forum and there's nothing you can do to stop him. I know from personal experience. ;)

I'm Shayalyn (no relation), Ten Ton Hammer features editor and social media thingamawhatsis. (I know what I do, and that's all that's really important.)

Mid-40s, MMO gamer since EQ, anything gamer since I played Pong in my cousin's basement, and very much looking forward to GW2. Some of my coworkers here at Ten Ton Hammer are Canadian, so I can deal with people like Haelyn who spell things oddly, like "humour" and "recognise."

Looking forward to seeing this community grow and flourish!

Hello, I am Varkeer/Dalor,

Hello, I am Varkeer/Dalor,

   I spent a couple years playing WAR at a pretty hardcore level with some awesome people. Think I still have the record for days played on an Archmage lol.

  We are teaming up with some of our old adversaries to bring about an awesome guild to play in GW2, we will be heavily involved in structured pvp and WvW.

 

 I am always looking for fair,fun, and engaging fights from everyone I play against.

 I hope we always bring our best to the table, or at least the best we have available, and I expect the same from those I play against.

 We always try to learn from our mistakes, and work to be the best that we can be. Still like to have fun while we do it too.

I'm Scootermouse

Hello! I'm Scootermouse, and hopefully i'll be able to get that name for my in-game character too.

I found this site via Necrobator (<3) so I decided to sign up and share my lack of GW2 knowledge with everyone else's since the game isn't out yet.  I played EQ2 for a long time but finally stopped, now I play League of Legends frequently (summoner name: Scootermouse >.>) and I also play alot of console games. I'm a fan of dystopian novels, spellcasting, RPGs, My Little Pony, Monster Hunter, and long walks on the beach.

For my first official character my friends and I have agreed to set up a 3-man asura adventurer team, in which ill be the engineer. During the beta I will probably try my hands at some of the caster classes, especially Necro.

I can't wait to play this game and I will DEFINITELY be pre-purchasing - here's hoping I see some of you in the beta tests!

Hi, I'm Yski, Lord of Death and Decay

​Right, no eating people. Or their limbs. Or heads. Understood? Now that's a good Flesh Golem. 

​Hi, I'm Yski from NecroBator. I may have slightly​ twisted sense of humor, I like minions and green and I don't like guardians. I'm an asura necromancer (and admittedly an altaholic) and I may spam your forums with fanfic when I'm not busy with school (Which unfortunately is quite rarely). I also dislike Guardians.

Are you a guardian? Let me introduce you to my Flesh Golem, he's getting a bit hungry.

Protect here, and I am just checking in from the main TTH site. 

I owned GW1 but I never actually got through the whole thing, but I am really looking foward to GW2.

No worries

So you're a guardian? So is the spam filter it seems:

Your submission has triggered the spam filter and will not be accepted.

Wut? O.o  Is it the smilies..?

Anyway,

My experiments at guardians of tyria indicate that after a guardian is eaten by a minion that is then eaten by a bigger minion that is then burned alive you get something that smells weird and is definitely not a guardian, so there might still be hope for you. :P

EDIT:Yay, it works!

Hi, my name's Anacche and I'm an alco---wait, wrong place. Soon to be GW2 addict if it lives up to the things that seem to be circling about it. I never played GW1, NCSoft's treatment of Tabula Rasa left me sour, but this game looks truly amazing. Here's hoping.

Yo =)

Hi, I'm Nepogoda. Semi-hardcore MMO player from Croatia. I didn't play GW (can't remember reason why) but I'm super excited about GW2. In tradition of always playing support/utility class and curiosity for steampunk I will play engineer, tho I can't decide which race (they are all awesome).
And just like in-game I don't speak (post) often but I do always listen (read). =)

Nice to meet you all!

Hello everyone,

I'm Emberlink, I'm a firefighter/paramedic in real life, who enjoys unwinding in a nice MMO when I have the time.  I've spent time in WoW, Rift, and SWTOR, and am really looking forward to this promising game.  I plan on making my main a human guardian.
