Hey guys! It's been way too long! I had a good laugh when I see the S&F e-mail as I had been checking out the old forums and even logging into GW to see if anyone was still active. I'm glad you had access to old e-mail lists G! I'm really looking forward to playing with you all again. If I remember correctly, we will be able to be a member of several guilds in GW2. I bring this up as I have been part of another guild since I started playing LOTRO a few years ago, which has now expanded to include SWOTR and now GW2. The guild was originally known as Khazad Fundinul (and other incarnations of KF depending on the game) and was formed some time back in 2007 and has been very active since. Similar to S&F back in the day, it's a group full of us "mature" crowd and consists of guys, gals and couples from pretty much all over the world. I would obviously love to play with both groups. If it is true that we can be part of several guilds, then I can be part of both groups. I guess that will all depend on sever options/selections. Of course, I'm sure that the S&F crew would also be welcome in KF if that is of interest to anyone. Feel free to check out the forums at www.khazad.org. Looks like I'll be wasting time on a new forum from now on!! Again, I'm looking forward to playing with you all again and catching up on how everyone has been. Talk to you all soon! - Mark

I'll admit, I was very surprised when I saw I had an e-mail with the name "Smoke & Fire" in it. I was also surprised a couple of days ago when I got an email about celebrating the 7th anniversary of Guild Wars. It sure doesn't seem like it was that long ago I look forward to some Guild Wars 2 action!

Awesome guys! It's great to be back in contact! I was pumped as well when I found the old forums still online so I could send a mass email out! I jumped at the chance!
And yes, you can join multiple guilds! How awesome is that? Dilemma solved Mark!
It is hard to believe it's been 7 years yeah? How's life treating you guys? I now have 3 kids (2 boys, 1 girl) that are ages 7, 5, and 2. Still employed at the same place but am now the Network Operations Manager / CSO. In my spare time, I race mountain bikes (been racing the Alabama series this season).
That's a nutshell of the last 7 years! Howabout you guys?

Definitely good to hear from everyone, its been TOO long. After the beta weekend we should all reunite in GW1 for some shenanigans. Maybe we could work on some of the titles to unlock stuff in GW2. Or just run around Lion's Arch yelling Smoke and Fire!
Dritt what SWTOR server are you on? Coven of the Harbinger( from WoW) has a small guild on Space Slug server.
Okay Dritt ignore the above sentence I just read in the other thread.

I'd be down for some GW1 afterwards. I've tried doing little bits lately but I just can't get back into things as I've completely lost track of what to do!
Life here has been good. I have two boys now, a 3 yr old and a 6 month old. Needless to say, I don't have as much gaming time as I used to! Still working for the Canadian government, even with all the cutbacks lately.
I have to say though that the beta has bad timing. I just took possession of a new home and will be spending the entire weekend painting. I will be taking Friday night off though to get some time in during the beta. I'll need something to keep me sane while staring at walls all day!

OMG HAI GAIZ! the old forum was overrun with sex bots.
i've played guild wars off and on since last year. i have a ritualist that i use for pvp quite a bit. the toon's name is sharon coxx. maybe some of you have seen her running around in jade quarry, annihilating the competition.
as for myself, i've moved from central cali back to my hometown of scottsdale, got out of there, and can be found in a small town just off of i-5 in southwest washington. i love it here! i'm now driving locally, so i am home on a daily basis, and i'm making much more money than i ever did. i work for an organic foods distributor. each year, they grow by about 15 to 20%.
i don't actually play video games much at all anymore. i think it's more due to having grown out of gaming. although there are some titles that interest me. i'm currently waiting on torchlight II. i have very little to no hope for diablo III. i'm going to skip it.
a bit of money has been going into the legal purchase of firearms ranging from assault rifles, pistols, shotguns, and some WWII era rifles.
i'm also london, england bound in early december for about a week. i'm going to be staying at an awesome hotel, going to a wedding at storey's gate, and it will be one helluva time!

Awesome Vance!
Good have you join up and know what you are up to these days! Glad to hear you have settled down somewhat and aren't having to drive so much!
On Diablo 3, I could have cared less for it as well until I played that open beta weekend. It hooked me. I'm looking forward to it now.

you're welcome, galen.
my toshiba qosmio x305 may be on its last set of remaining days. it's beginning to black screen quite a bit after watching movies, youtube stuff, and playing some games. the last game i tried to play is the walking dead. the first 10 minutes go smoothly and then the screen goes black, everything stops responding, and i have to hold the power button to shut it down. {=o( maybe it's due to overheating of the lcd screen. this laptop has taken a couple of plunges off the top bunk of the sleeper berth while i was driving. i'm surprised it still worked after the first fall. even more so after the second! perhaps the lcd screen needs to be replaced. unfortunately the warranty ran out a couple of years ago.
mark: HOW ABOUT THOSE CANUCKS?! oh, wait, hahahahahahahahah! man, the kings are looking and playing fantastic! i'm rooting for the coyotes, though! once they beat the predators on monday. they are going to have their hands full against the kings. the western conference finals should be an awesome series with quick vs. smith!
i'm not going to bother with diablo III mostly due to my gut feeling about it. i really, really, really enjoyed the hell out of the first torchlight game. there were a few 24hr marathons i had whilst playing that game. i love how mod friendly it is, too!

You must only watch the playoffs. They don't participate in that part of the NHL. It cuts into golf season.

hahahahahahah, i've only been able to catch some of the playoffs. i had a change in my work schedule in the middle of hockey season. plus the maple leafs' games aren't covered where i live in washington. they would probably get some coverage if i lived closer to seattle or tacoma. my coyotes aren't looking too great against the kings. whoever wins this series, will end up taking the stanley cup home. the eastern conference teams don't look very good compared to the coyotes and kings.
