Did you ever see that movie with Bill Murray – Groundhog Day? Basically, it’s about a guy who relives the same day over and over again. He keeps doing it until he gets it right. It’s like that for TANK. He died on Groundhog’s Day, which means I have to restart. It’s the pursuit of the Legendary Survivor title, back at level 1.

I’m starting to think that the Survivor title is the hardest one in Guild Wars. It demands absolute perfection for 100 levels of gameplay. Where does that number come from?

It starts with good intentions. I don’t create a character and think, “Hey there TANK. I’m going to delete you when you hit level 8.” No, I play with the plan of winning. I imagine that my characters will be victorious, not a waste of a character slot. Yet, I know that not all of my characters survive. More often than not, I end up deleting them.
Victory means nothing if it’s not achieved honorably. That’s a belief of mine. It’s not enough for me to just to win, I have to feel good about it too. That mindset is very fitting for role-playing a do-gooder character. TANK may be a Warrior / Elementalist right now, but in his heart he’s a Paladin. (I’ll probably switch him to a Warrior / Monk when I unlock the other secondary professions.)
