Where to start, though. In the last month or so I've been pretty much nonexistent from the forums and GW. Just been really busy with other stuff, and when I have found the time I guess I didn't really feel like I had the energy to jump back in and catch up with everything. I'm making a quick capsule because otherwise I'll regret it a year from now, also Ari keeps yelling at me to put stuff in here.
So it's been quite an eventful year. I finished school, miraculously managed to get high enough on my exams to make it into the university course that I wanted to. In the last 5 months or so I've been trying to adapt to uni life. I'm still struggling to keep up with the work, but I've made some new friends and gotten used to the routine so I suppose there are positives there too. It's a bit difficult to get much perspective because I've got midyear exams looming in only a few days, which has lent a certain air of despair to the last few weeks. Somehow I've completely lost the ability to study properly in the last half a year, which is quite a nasty shock with exams so close. Still I'd best not dwell on it too much here, probably not what I want to be reminded of a year from now.

In general I haven't been particularly active on the boards in the last year, and I've been doing a bit more lurking than I'd normally be accustomed to. The exception to that is that I've been trying to remain active within the DoA's board, as well as in-game. Obviously that has faltered recently, but before then I was going okay. The guild has lost a little bit of momentum recently with several of its officers (and our leader) losing the ability to play as often, hopefully this will be a temporary thing. Before that we were going pretty well, a tight core of active players making it more possible to recruit new people. I'll get on to specifics about the guildies in a minute. On the personal side of GW, my accont has been going fairly strongly. At current count I have 6 max-level characters (W/Mo, E/Me, N/Me, A/W, R/Me, D/A) and two storage characters. My dervish has become my favourite character, so I've devoted a reasonable amount of time to him. I'm very slowly going for the Kind of a Big Deal title on him. Currently I have Protector of Elona, and as soon as I can muster up the energy to cap Barrage I'll have Elonian Skill Hunter. I plan to also do Tyrian Skill Hunter, and probably Protector of Tyria while I'm at it to raise skill points. For the last title I expect I'll either max out Sunspear, Lightbringer or do a Canthan title. I've got two characters who have finished Prophecies (with another 2 on the last mission, been a bit lazy about that

Ah, April Fools was pretty funny.

Been pretty bad about taking screenshots, so I don't really have too much to show. I'll leave a few messages for people though. Really sorry if you're not mentioned and feel you should be, I'm in a bit of a rush so I'm likely to miss out heaps of people that deserve it.
Ari- I'm very happy to find that my prediction that you'd have disappeared by now was proven wrong, it's always a pleasure. You're a great friend, even if it's indirectly your fault that I'm so low on sleep sometimes. You'd better still be around when we open this one, okay Missy?

Ratty- I'm not really sure what to say here. Obviously you're a really great friend, and since we're doing the same course it'll take a lot of work for you to get rid of me.

Tanny- Wooooo, Tanny. I'm not entirely sure what's been wrong recently, haven't wanted to pry. Hopefully by the time this is opened you'll be back to your usual happy self. I'm always here if you need to talk, though. Continue being awesome and you're sure to go far in life. Well, as long as you stay off Myspace.

Wasim- Wasn't happy to see you go, but I can understand why. You'll always have a place in our guild if you want it. You've been a great friend to many, myself included. We've all benefitted from your experience and generosity, I just wish I personally had benefitted a little less from your generosity.

Rylkan- It was pretty cool getting a chance to get to know the person behind the name 'Rylkan' (which was usually just intended as a synonym for insanity). I really appreciate all the time and effort you've put into the guild, and your officership was definitely deserved. I predict by next year you'll always have yourself in offline status, will be in rehab for Lavender icecream and will have devised a single Ranger build capable of running, tanking, nuking, healing and interrupting. It'll probably accomplish that without using a secondary class, too.

Lynn- Another person I feel privileged to have gotten to know. You may eternally be a newbie, but we'll love you anyway. The whole guild owes you a debt of gratitude for all your work, and once again I can't think of anyone more suited to being an officer. Guess I'm doubling up between you and Rylkan a bit, eh? Within a year I predict you'll be winning GvG and Heroes' Ascent all by yourself, using multiple computers, an all-girl cast of characters, and enough caffeine to drown a horse.
Cspace- Haven't talked to you too much recently, hope everything is going well though. We all appreciate the effort you put into this place, just make sure you're not neglecting your own life in the process. Hopefully I'll catch you on GW some time, hehe.
That'll have to do for now, once again sorry for anyone I didn't get to include.
Current forum stats (probably won't have changed much, hehe):

A drawing Ari didn't want me to show anyone:

I'm not sure who the yellow is. Knowing Ari, the naked one is probably Callum.

EDIT: Confirmed! The naked one is Cal, the yellow one is "probably Cspace".
Umm... Random stuff I want to add?
