Of Wolf And Man


Award-winning GW player Hellen Frost is now rank 6!

For the uninitiated: Rank in Guild Wars is a system of merit, based on fame, achieved by victories in 'Hero's Ascent' - 8v8 PvP area, where the aim is to win the Hall of Heroes after a number of consecutive wins on different maps. When your team of eight wins a battle in the Hall of Heroes, a message is displayed *everywhere* in the game. Pretty cool, huh:)

The emote for rank 3 is a deer, rank 6 - a wolf, rank 9 - a tiger, rank 12 - a phoenix.

Rank 1 = 25 fame
Rank 2 = 75 fame
Rank 3 = 180 fame
Rank 4 = 360 fame
Rank 5 = 600 fame
Rank 6 = 1000 fame
Rank 7 = 1680 fame
Rank 8 = 2800 fame
Rank 9 = 4700 fame
Rank 10 = 7750 fame
Rank 11 = 11900 fame
Rank 12 = 20000 fame


A quote from the forums:

Rank doesn't mean you have a good guild and nothing else. It doesn't mean you have no life beyond Arenanet's servers. It means you've done, and subsequently learned from things an unranked player simply hasn't.


And a few words from an unranked player (me).

It means your have put in time, effort, and skill in a *legitimate* pastime, and have reaped the rewards. It means that you have knowledge, flexibility, and pure talent. It means that you have self-discipline, ambition, and persistence enough to reach this level. It means you're a pro:).

Now, the ability to experience joy for the sake of another person is a gift.

I have been watching Frost since her Day One in GW, and she has helped me tremendously to learn the game and have fun in the process. For about six months she's been playing a different game altogether, the high-end PvP (my PvP experience is limited to 4v4 combat) but she has been enough part of my gaming experience to be able to congratulate her as a proud teammate:D

Happy rank, Frost. You made my day:) Good luck and have fun.
