Hi, welcome! :) Also, you don't need to link everything for talk page, which is used to talk and discuss, so please just feel casual there. And you may like to use ~~~~ to sign your name. Try it out! Glastium | talk 07:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well, okay! :P Lhimez 08:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- And from one dude from Sweden to another--whenever you write on talk pages you should intend using a colon ":" making the content easier to read! I took the liberty of doing it for you above. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask me or any of the fellows here. Oh, and welcome! — astronomy 08:38, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the wiki! I like the idea of not using colons. Especially when it's not my talk page...would you like a Sweedish carrot? --Xu Davella 01:17, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- That would be nice! Lhimez 06:22, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
no guild wars 1[edit]
I'm glad this wiki has users that haven't played the first Guild Wars! ^^ (just ask me whenever you'd like to know something about it!)--The Holy Dragons 13:48, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah! I played WoW before... I hadent even heard about GW1 before I found out that this game actually was named with "2". Lhimez 14:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
atheism[edit]
God still believes in you :) --Moto Saxon 15:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Im sure he would, if he existed :P Lhimez 15:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Just out of curiosity, why are you an atheist? Scientific reasoning, hatred of religion, social acceptance? --Moto Saxon 15:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- First, I say science cant be that wrong, rather than the earth was created in seven days and all that. Well, maybe not hatred of religion, its just the fact of overnatural powers. And social acceptance shouldnt determine your way of thinking, so not that either. Its mainly because I dont think god would make evil persons like those whom have started wars, and even if that stupid apple would cause some people to being bad, couldnt the mighty god himself easily stop them? Like shooting some lightnings from the air, like in all movies? Also, I know I only used examples of the christian religion (because I dont know any other); but really, how true could others be?

- Only fundamentalists disavow science, and free will. 00:12, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- You don't have to be a fundamentalist to believe in God. I am a christian and grew up in the church and I think you'd be crazy not to question your belief system and look at all the pieces. I think Lhimez's reason for being an athiest actually stems from a healthy mindset. Lhimez, if you developed that thought a little more I think your questions would be answered and who knows, you might have a change of heart, thanks for sharing! --Moto Saxon 22:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Personally I don't understand why the general question posed is; "why do you not believe in God?" I assume it is an American staple on the world to assume everyone who is not religious must have their reasons, but I rather confront theists with their beliefs instead: "Why do you believe in God?" That said, feel free to answer that question if you wish, I just stumbled upon this topic and felt a boredom-induced urge to comment. - Infinite - talk 23:42, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Because the majority of the world believes in God (or gods). For clarity's sake, that's why people assume others are believers, not why I believe in God. That would be a stupid reason. 00:12, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- I believe in God because of the bible. And I have personally experienced God's love. He's not a distant cosmic power. He is real, relate-able, caring and loving and he wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. The atheists that I've talked to usually don't have beef with the message of Christ...they usually have issues with some scriptures from the old testament. But any single fact out of context can distort the truth. If you are going to judge the existence and/or motives of God based off of scripture, then at least read the whole thing and understand the big picture. You might actually agree with it more then you think. Secondly, scientifically God makes sense. From what I've read and seen, science only proves the existence of a creator. --Moto Saxon 03:55, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- First of all, I respect all believes, and the persons who believe. Despite that I understand what Infinite is saying, people around the world often think that it is normal to believe in god. I don't want to say it isn't normal, but there are quite some people who think different about it. I experienced it a few times in my life that people couldn't understand that I didn't believe in god. The Netherlands, where Infinite and I both live, is one of the countries in the world which has a majority of atheists, so that could also be the reason that we think different about it. The only problem I have is that a lot of christians, moslims, etc have no respect for non-believers and want to convince us that we are wrong and we have to change. -- Cyan 11:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- I don't believe in anything specifically and have read the Bible. I don't believe the fundation of Christianity is wrong (except for the parts about non-heterosexuality obviously), but the entire "God is real" is the part I will never believe in. It is easy to blame an omnipotent entity for everything, as well as it is easy to thank such entity for the good things. It is much harder to accept that humans fucked up on their own, as well as it is much harder to be thankful for the good things that happen with the help of others. Personally I believe I am a very strong and solid person with an amazing personality, with love and isolation being my weaknesses. I draw my power and resolve from myself and others, instead of the safety of an omnipotent, ultimately forgiving entity. But that is me and me alone. The world needs to know that religion is not important, as long as what you believe in reflects you as a person and keeps you strong in times of hardship and troubles. If you forsake the people around you, theist or atheist, you only have yourself to blame. To me, God is a source of power and support for those who believe in Him and require their faith to feel alive. There is nothing wrong with believing, but any faith should always be a personal thing. Forced religion is the spiritual equivalent of dictatorship. - Infinite - talk 12:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah. An interesting time reading, that was. I certainly have more to add to this conversation, but Id rather not, as that would cause you to say even more things, which eventually would lead to me having to archieve my talk page. Which Id rather not, as Im far too lazy! Lhimez 14:33, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

I see you're swedish too, so I guess you're raised non-religiously? Sweden should have about 20% atheists, 20% agnostics, 4% christians and 5% muslims. I think the rest are of their own religions or deists. --AdventurerPotatoe - 00:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thats right. But I got my reasons from my own thinking. Although, I do suppose theres more christians here than that, it is after all the original reliogion. And agnostics, most people around me seem to be like that. Lhimez 07:38, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- About 70% or 80%, I dont remember, are still memeber of the christian church here. I know many people who dont believe in hell or god but believe in the christian heaven, because its comforting. I do not know which definition of christian(how christian those 4% are) these statistics show. ---AdventurerPotatoe - 10:24, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Now, I know last dude saying anything here did so long ago and I dont want to be too "aggresive"(?) to any believers, but I did for some reason read all this again and would like to point out the fact Mota said here "I believe in god because of the bible". Well I know a site that gathered some scripts from the bible, its on swedish so if you do even care translate it with google. Its all quite harsh and after all just confirms what Mota said how atheists were just annoyed by some old scripts from the old testament, but the amount of the scripts is near 300 and thus do matter, from my view of seeing. Here. "If you dont listen to God, your lord: curse the children you get" "He hit the Nile so all water turned to blood. The fish died and the river smelled. There was blood everywhere in Egypt." "You shall not be shy to beat up a bad slave". Sorry, everyone who really got mad about this. Lhimez 14:15, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

This edit[edit]
how are they wrong, exactly? I'm pretty sure all they were doing is stating the amount of skills available to any given character (Race + profession) and I distinctly remember the 4-8 elites and 4-5 heals part. Aqua (T|C) 23:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- According to our wiki pages there are no more than three elites per proffesion. And then having about one more racial (excluding the 4 norn ones), making it 4 doesnt really fit into 4-8. Rather 2-4. No proffesion has more than 4 healing skills, and the only confirmed racial skill being healing is Prayer to Dwayna and perhaps [[Strength of the Dream]]. No race has more than 6 racial skills, the human. But thats only including two skills not yet confirmed nor ready on the wiki. Id be glad to have a familiar text about this if the numbers were correct :P Lhimez 09:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Where are you getting[edit]
all these mesmer skills? I'm concerned that they might be under NDA. Aqua (T|C) 15:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
