GW has been working for me for a while. Can't remember what I did.. it just seems to be hit and miss. I think I actually deleted it properly then reinstalled. It still plays me up but it's ok. GW:EN has been announced for the end of August. I'll order the pre-order from the online store soon I think.
I got 'Kind of a Big Deal' on my Ranger, and I've kinda lost interest since then. Funny.. goals keep you going.. ;)
I did a bit of work on my ele. finishing Elona with her, getting her some nice new armour from the final area then getting about 2.5% more on her Tyrian explorer title. She's crept up to about 92.5%.. tough going.
I'm worried about this Monuments thing that will be in Guild Wars 2.. it seems we can take some of our titles and stuff with us, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to take stuff from both accounts.. I'll have to pick one - 'cause there's no way I'm going to have 2 accounts in GW2! lol.

What to do..
Well, I haven't really played anything for a while. Been busy, but also been trying to 'switch over' to Ubuntu. When (if..?) I get it working I'll try and post a nice concise little guide on it (though, knowing me it's unlikely to be either concise or little!)
After a long day at work I don't feel like anything very taxing. I'd rather just play. Alas, there isn't anything I really can play at the moment, not that I fancy anyway. GW went 'poooof' on me in Windows: it just won't work anymore. My poor computer's getting on a bit, bless it: I built it about four years ago, and haven't upgraded it, so I guess it's not done bad. A nice chunk of RAM would keep me going a few more months I reckon, but can I find any...? (old stuff, SDRAM or something, and I could do with it the form of a 1 gb stick really, as I've got two in there that are only 256k each . I suppose a couple of sticks of 512 mb would help..)
I popped in Thang last night, but... nah, there's no imagination going on there. If there was a quest I could try and figure out or some lovely scenery that I could wander around in, I'd get in there now, but alas, it's very lacking in stimulation for the imagination.
I could probably get Eternal Lands going in Ubuntu, but I don't really fancy that either right now.
I might let my dual boot take me to XP and have a wander around Planeshift..

Repairing Data Archive
Waiting for GW to install.. I finally did it!
I've been plagued with 'Repairing Data Archive' on an alarmingly regular basis for months now, and will get kicked out of the game at times with a 'helpful' window popping up telling me that 'A serious problem has occurred...blah..'.
Anyway, tonight I couldn't even get the game to start! It 'repaired' it's data archive, yet again, then closed. Then it just kept ignoring me! Darn cheek! Pfft!
I used the '-contig' command which defragged my Gw.dat file, but that didn't help. They even recognise it on the official GW site here
now, which is a step in the right direction..
I've 'given in' though finally. Tried the 'reinstall GW to same directory' (or similar) option in add/remove programs, but that did nothing, so yep.. I UNINSTALLED Guild Wars! *breathes heavily*. I realised too late that my templates have gone in the bin too lol, but I'd put my screenies somewhere else, and have a copy of my old Gw.dat file 'just in case' - there are a lot of 'just in cases' in my life :P
Oh my..... well it just finished and I just got the 'A serious error has occurred that prevents the program from continuing to run; however... blah..blah...' Grrr!
Meh, back to the drawing board!
*huffs*

Hero 'elite' armour
I'm totally skint now, having scraped enough together to get my monk some nice Elite Sunspear armour. It looks nice :)
I thought I'd have a go at upgrading some hero armour, but Dajkah Inlet was a pain. I'm not the quickest of workers, so I had trouble with the timer. I killed the Guild Lord three or four times and didn't get the necessary 'Stolen Sunspear Armor' that is needed to upgrade one hero's armour. I don't fancy doing that over and over to see if I can get one... I'll have a go if any guildies fancy it some time I think. For now, I'll try and get my monkie further through Nightfall.
I just did Venta Cemetary. Man, that took me ages! I was too busy trying to keep everyone alive to notice that half my Evacuees had disappared. I got to the NPC at the end to find that she didn't want to talk to me; so I had to go back and find my evacuees... They'd got stuck on one of the Guard Posts! lol!! I 'unhooked' them and went back and luckily, I got the Masters. I'm glad that happened, because I let the other Sunspear Evacuees die, so good job some kept themselves safe! Hehe!
