Do you create character biographies?

May 12 2012
Hey fleeties,

I just finished a biography for my Klingon Gorn character Silesh. He's been without one for far too long. And I've been playing him a lot recently. My Bajoran character Kanrim got a biography quite a while ago.

So I was wondering: Do you create biographies for your characters? What do they look like? Are they autobiographic or just some crazy stuff you make up? Anything special about it?

---------------------------------------------------

If anyone's interested, here are my bios. And yeah, I like Bajorans.

Kanrim Enoel
Bajoran science officer

Kanrim Enoel was born in 2384 in the city of Janir on Bajor as the son of Starfleet engineering officer Kanrim Jabara and civilian scientist Kanrim Makobar.

From an early age Enoel started travelling the stars with his mother Jabara, who was stationed on the USS Hood, the USS Berlin and Jupiter Station. It was there were Enoel decided to join Starfleet Academy, aiming for a career in xenobiology and minoring in astrogeography.

Shortly before the Borg invaded Vega Colony, Enoel was assigned to the USS Murakami. He took command of the ship after its senior crew perished in the attack.

Currently Kanrim Enoel is the commanding officer of the Defiant class USS Crescent. He is engaged to Starfleet officer Jonathan Brokaw.


Kejal Silesh Hak'Aar
Gorn engineering officer

Silesh Kejal hatched in 2384 on an Orion Marauder. The Slavers had uncovered a Gorn nest on Cenotaph. In early 2385 the Orion ship was raided by joint Federation-Klingon border patrols. The crews' possesions were taken, including the remaining three Gorn hatchlings.

Silesh was given to a Bajoran-Klingon family on Ajilon Prime. Formal contact with the Gorn Hegemony was established but soon ended when hostilities between the Gorn and the Klingon Empire broke out. As diplomatic relationships with both, the Gorn and the Federation, worsened, Silesh's family moved to the Klingon homeworld.

Raised between different cultures, Silesh grew to appreciate the ways of Klingon warriors. Yet he also learned lessons in empathy, creativity and modesty from his Bajoran foster parents.

In 2404 Silesh joined the Klingon Defense Forces, together with his foster sibling Tidud. Both young men overcame prejudices and suspicions by fellow young warriors and started their careers on Klingon border patrol ships in 2408. After he survived a skirmish with Starfleet vessels in the Archanis system, Silesh was given command of a small Klingon Bird of Prey. He choose to take loyal friends with him, among them his brother Tidud.

Well, when I first joined the fleet, I was excited about the events listed. One event, the Hazard Build one, especially. Unfortunately, when I asked what time it would take place, I never got a response.

Zepari that's exactly how I found out about this guild... I just flew by a fleet member and asked them if Stonewall was a LGBT guild!

Re: nonsavy internet user can't upload avatar...

This seems to be an ongoing problem that Nick is looking into but hasn't found an answer to as of yet. (Nick is our fearless leader ;)) I know someone else that had a similar issue said they were able to successfully upload a picture as a .png file instead of a .jpg so maybe if you try that you can get an avatar uploaded. Good luck, I know how frustrating these issues can be. I am very close to throwing my computer out the window because it keeps having various issues.... :angry:

nonsavy internet user can't upload avatar...

May 11 2012
I've uploaded a photo to the site, but it just shows as a picart camera. When I try to upload a new pic as a new avatar the site times out on a blank screen... not a usual timeout error page, but literally will sit there all night with a pure white page. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? the file is a .jpg that is well below the 8mb limit.

Meh, not worth it, imo -- it's a stress test, and I never have particularly good luck in logging on during those. ;)

Besides, I'm saving my sick days for launch, baby!

From https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/stress/news/Stress-Test-May-14/page/1#post169238

We’ll be conducting a stress test on Monday May 14 from 11 AM to 6:00 PM PDT (-7 GMT).

This special test event is open only to Pre-Purchase customers who have registered their accounts. With your help, we can conduct important tests and address some of the issues we identified during our first Beta Weekend Event. During this event, all you need to do is play normally with a new or existing character on your Beta account using the same game client. Please note that since this is a stress test of our servers, you may experience some in-game performance issues. If you’ve pre-purchased Guild Wars 2 and wish to participate in the stress test, we recommend that you register the account and download the game client.

Pre-Purchase customers, log in to the Beta Forums for more information and/or to download the Beta client if needed.

I won't be able to log on that day due to work obligations, but hopefully the rest of you will be able to!

Yeah, it is pretty obvious that there are less people playing than before but it is an awesome game and we have an awesome group! I'm so glad that many of you all are willing and able to help when we ask for assistance in the guild chat even though it doesn't always benefits your characters directly. You all are amazing!

SW:TOR subscriber numbers fall

May 09 2012
Hi everybody,

I got a bit of a shock today when I saw an article on the BBC news website about SW:TOR and that they have lost 25% of their subscribers. Here is a link to the article:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17989756

My shock is that the BBC reported on something that almost everyone already knew... again, lol.

It's normal for games to lose their initial popularity and for the population to drop. I'm not sure if 25% is common, but I just wanted to post this so everyone knows they are not alone is finding the servers a bit empty lately. The launch of the game servers for Asia and Australia are also a factor in the drop in our server's activity.

However, I am confident that things will pick up as they always do, and until then we can enjoy the benefits of having a close knit Stonewall Community Guild in what I think is one of the best games out there right now! Knights and Lords of Stonewall has has been two years in the making, we are going strong, and we are not going anywhere. ;)

Re: Guild Bank Tidying

May 09 2012
Thanks Bolts! For the donation and the help. I'm useless at knowing what might be worth keeping, but if we have 5 pairs of the same boots, it sounds like no-one wants them, lol.

If you run into any trouble with the withdrawal limit or need anything just let me or KiddKasper know.

At this stage in the game we don't have many active low level characters in the guilds, and while they are the characters that need the most help with stuff, it's great that we can now give items we can't use to other guildmates at any level. I'm glad we have people like you who know enough to convert some of the less useful items into credits for the guild.

I check the guild banks regularly for the credit amounts so we can open up a second tab in each bank as soon as possible. However if you notice the guild funds have gone over a million credits then send me a PM on the site so I can get the second tab open asap!

Re: Guild Bank Tidying

Sounds good to me. I'll start keeping an eye on it as well and doing the same if no one has a problem with it. Some of the most useful stuff I've found for my toons in the banks are crafting materials, item modifications, and schematics. Occasionally I'll find a nice item of clothing, but mainly it's the modifications for orange items.
