Hello there, my name is Mikael and i'm a university student from Sweden. I am turning 23 in about a month.
I'm not an exclusive MMO player, however my background includes games such as W:AR, AoC and primarily GW1 which I played for several years. I was very active in the GW1 PvP scene and I was in a top 100 GvG guild at one point while the game was in its prime, before I quit the game. Besides those games i've been playing a lot of DotA, HoN and DotA 2. I think the common denominator in each game I play and have played is that i'm always there for the challenge of PvP and I believe I always compete at the top or close to the top. It can be traced back to my first online game which was Diablo 2 where I was involved in a small but prolific community of PvP'ers and i've never really looked back from the point when I first got a taste for PvP.
Unfortunately I seem to be the only one that is going to play GW2 from the group of gamers I usually play games with. Therefore i'm looking for an active group of players to join up with for this game. I noticed your thread in the Guru forums and since I have respect for DAOC players, despite not having played it myself, I thought i'd check you out. I believe Rare could provide what I want to get out of this game and I also think I would provide what you want out of a member.
We're currently discussing your application and will let you know asap. Meanwhile could you indulge our curiosity and share some detail about your HoN/Dota experience, did you play competitively in team/Solo ranked or just for your enjoyment?
Also since you mention you respect DAoC players would you mind to elaborate? Thank you in advance.

I've played DotA mostly for enjoyment. At one point I was in a competitive team in HoN but I didn't really have the time to put in by that time so it didn't lead anywhere, so I mostly played pubs with friends. 1900+ rating in HoN about a year ago (if that says anything to you) but pubs are pubs I suppose. DotA/DotA2 have been the same pretty much, i've only had the time to play high level pubs and casually in inhouse leagues from time to time.
What I meant by the DAoC remark is that my perception of DAoC is that it is a game a lot of old school PvP'ers came from after moving to other games. I've known a bunch of good players who have that background and i've heard of the game's good PvP gameplay.
Mikael, what is your favorite drink, meal and hobby? How you spend your free time and how much you have it when not at university and by PC? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you you have a girlfriend?

Don't die!! It's more fun when we can't talk not just about those silly mathematical based games. And the question about GF is very important!!! How many times we saw and were in situation: "Guys, sorry, GF agro... "
