    I am 22 year old university student from the middle of Finland. Before I started playing Guild Wars, I had played a few FPS games on competitive level and too much Diablo 2 on the side. When I'm NOT playing Guild Wars, I'm either too busy with school stuff or killing time with other hobbies, such as music, sports, movies and fishing.
