That's right.
Guild Wars 2 finally launched officially today. As a pre-purchase participant, I got to play 3 days earlier already. Right now I'm at a Lan party with my guild celebrating release, living off caffeine and not sleeping for 4 days straight. Hell yeah!

The game itself is more than I ever hoped for. It is literally the MMORPG. A lot of MMORPGs in the past few years turned out to be more or less of a disappointment, from Aion to Rift to SW:ToR. Finally, there is a new player in the MMO neighborhood again who does things right, who does things they way they're supposed to be done. This game takes pretty much everything that's great about other MMOs (from great, involving PvE to personalized storylines, to tournament-style, completely skill-based arena PvP, to gigantic server-vs-server PvP warzones) while mercilessly eradicating everything that sucks about other MMOs (including but not limited to killstealing, ninjalooting, griefing, ganking, grinding, gear treadmill and the "holy trinity"). Words seriously can't describe how awesome this game is.
There is at least one MMO developer on the market that still holds to everything they promise, and that developer is ArenaNet.
The time of Blizzard is over, I think. They failed hard with Diablo 3, they will fail hard with MoP and I think no matter how much Titan is going to be hyped, it will fail as well.

Anyway, should any of you be interested in hitting me up ingame, I can currently be found on Kodash[DE], by the Account name Shyanmar.5936 or the character names Varnakh Bloodfur (Charr/Warrior), Shyanna De Askarth (Human/Elementalist) and Snorri Gûthredsson (Norn/Guardian), among others.

I'm studying molecular biology at a university of applied science in Germany. I'd consider myself a hobby artist, I've always liked drawing and painting as long as I can remember. People ask me why I went into biology instead of art ...
Art is a great thing in and of itself, but to make a living off it you'd have to be extremely good. I'm not. I might get there one day, but right now I'm not. So I go where the money is, which means that I'll be able to comfortably practice art as a hobby (if you earn a good chunk of money you can afford a cintiq without being a professional ^__^).

Art-wise, I focus mostly on digital art, since it's less messy (I don't usually have a lot of time to clean up, much less a lot of space to really set things up the traditional way), but I do like traditional painting and drawing nevertheless.
I also do quite a bit of sewing and other artisan craft since I'm more or less active (if yet a beginner) in the medieval re-enactment scene.

Other than that ... I like just about all sub-genres of metal (with melodic death being my favorite) as well as medieval music and irish folk, I'm also learning to play bagpipes, because they're damn awesome.

it's really too bad that the comments got turned off by the photographer. if i had replied in time i would've thanked you for finally seeing my argument as to why the piece might have been disrespectful and maybe even offensive in some cases. it was nice arguing with you; you didn't merely start the conversation by insulting my intelligence and then telling me not to state my opinion and i just wanted to thank you for that.
(while i was on your page i also looked through your gallery a bit and i really loved your gallery)

Eh, he disabled comments? How inconsiderate. Guess he doesn't like discussions in his comment sections. Shame, those are my favorite ...

Ah, no need to thank me, I usually am more or less respectful. Well, at least if the person I'm arguing with has some sense in their head and all that ^^ (You should see me picking on religious people - especially the die-hard homophobic young-earth-creationist "the bible is th ultimate truth and to be taken absolutely literally"-kind of wackos. Or fanatic vegans. It's all kinds of fun, but I usually can't take them too seriously because they won't let me, try as I might xD)
It's always possible to argue like somewhat mature grown-ups, but it alwas takes two, doesn't it? ^^

And thanks a lot. I try. Of course I never find myself to be quite good enough at anything, but then, that's probably the case with most people ^^

Why, I did learn that we have a mutual friend, did I not? ^^

Außerdem kann ich die Verbrennung von Deutschlektüren nur unterstützen ... ich wünschte ich hätte mein Exemplar von Effi Briest noch, damit ich's nochmal anzünden könnte ...

Well, we do have a mutual friend, but that's not the same as knowing each other, is it? Nice to meet ya anyway :handshake:

Ich glaube, ich habe Effie Briest noch irgendwo rumliegen, wenn ich sie wiederfinde, darfst du sie gerne statt meiner verbrennen :popcorn:
