Guild Wars!

Time is like Playing Guild Wars. In that I felt like playing guild wars today, or at least making sure it still worked so that when I'm super poor I still have stuff to play.

They've recently changed their log-in procedure though, where you need to enter your character's name (or one of them) or it won't let you log in! Considering I usually choose a random jumble of letters that sounds almost pronounceable in most cases, this presented some difficulty to me. It's been quite a while since I last played it, and I couldn't remember.

So I did the only logical thing I could think of. I guessed. Boy did I guess!

Every guess was wrong.

So since it suggested I contact their support if I was having trouble remembering. And I was. So I did. The following is the actual e-mail I sent to their support...



Hi Guild Wars Support,

Let me tell you a little story. I was a little bored, so thought I'd go through whichever games I had installed on my wonderful lappy, and see which I hadn't played in a while, then download updates. I saw Guild Wars and thought "oh yeah! let's give that a whirl."

So I download my updates, and think "noice, I will play this."

Unfortunately I... well there's a few unfortunalities (it should most definitely be a word, though spell-check doesn't like it.)

The login screen had defaulted my old email, so I thought I had it wrong. Uncovering emails I found I'd correctly changed it to this one sometime ago. Of course, then I wasn't sure which of my plethora of passwords I'd used. But I guess the real kicker:

It's been so long (don't hate me!) that I can't remember the names of any of my characters! I tried my usual Daemensleyaarr, Aragandagormli and Jeffrey, but to no avail. (Okay, so those might have been made up)

Can you help me out with the name of a character? Preferably in the form of the name of the character, as a Jeopardy question type response where it says "This name was used as a character on your account" where I have to reply "Who is 'X'?" is probably not going to be much help. I'm also hoping it's not X, because that would make me look kind of foolish, wouldn't it!

Much thanks in advance,

I look forward to updating this post with whatever else happens on this.

Update: They gave me my name. No fun-ness beyond.
