Lost in Elona...

Where, oh, where, have I been? Well, I've been vacationing on the sunny isle of Istan! For those who don't know where that may be, it's located in the latest Guild Wars PC game release, Nightfall.

I've been an on and off player of Guild Wars since its initial release back in the spring of 2005. I was attracted to the game for its "No monthy fees" setup, the Magic: The Gathering style of skill management, and gorgeous graphics. After it's initial release, the game has seen a free update and two Stand-alone "expansions".

The latest Guild Wars release, Nightfall, is light years beyond it's previous two releases. Heroes, Inscriptions, templates, graphics, and gameplay make Nightfall the game to get. I've been spending most of my play time either customizing my heroes or getting my existing characters to the islands to unlock their heroes.

I have to admit I needed to take a "Mental Health" day from work just to play Nightfall. Other than that, I've only been able to devote a couple hours per night to play. So far, I haven't even been able to leave the island, but that's typical of my casual PvE playstyle. I like to stop and smell the roses...

If you see me in game, say hello! I play a variety of characters, all with the Chi Qin surname. So if you see Szechwan Chi Qin, General Chi Qin, Mu Shu Chi Qin, or Bharak Ali Chi Qin, that's me!
