Happy Birthday: Five Years of Guild Wars

Two years after its announcement at exactly five years ago, 28 April 2005 was, it finally happened: Guild Wars saw the light of day. The MMORPG, which made things different than other games of the genre at that time and today. Manufacturer ArenaNet it means so happy as CORPG (Competitive Online Role Playing Game), as PvP and PvE part separated from each other are pretty, but more on that later. First of all: Congratulations to ArenaNet, Publisher NC Soft and the many players worldwide, contributing to its success.

Over time, the source Prophecies game name, with its more traditional, borrowed from the European Middle Ages setting, greatly enlarged. So appeared in September 2005 offered a free new area Sorrow's Furnace , an instance of the many challenges and special weapons. As was found Guild Wars already have a million buyers!

was followed by two expansions Factions name (April 28, 2006) and Nightfall (27th October 2006) which each have a new continent and a new Setting as well as two new character classes added. Thus, the Factions continent of Cantha is very Asian-inspired while Elona from Nightfall similar to large parts of the North African lands. The special feature of these extensions is that they tell each alone, without Prophecies or the other are playable, and a self-contained, new story.

appeared as the last 31 August 2007 Addon Eye of the North . This has required one of the other campaigns and completed the map of the continent Prophecies Tyria to other new areas and introduced two new non-playable races but does not include new character classes. The plot of Eye of the North is scheduled to propose a statement for 200 years later angesiedeltem Guild Wars 2 .

But what drew Guild Wars that could swim directly after takeoff from World of Warcraft on the new wave of MMORPG hype, actually as so special from that accessed a total of more than six million people?

Guild Wars differentiates itself from the same through several specific features of other online role-playing games. First, it offers in each of his campaigns in an intermediate sequences and told quests and missions, continuous story - complete with credits!

All outside areas are instances, that can only own up to eight-strong group is in the actual game, and only in towns and outposts to meet other Mitzockern, chat with you and trading.

Usually you have to play in certain places so-called missions, otherwise it is not in the game, an absolutely free exploration of the world without playing the story is excluded because otherwise you might otherwise pass through to the final battle still the same.

The player is not traveling alone but in a group. If no human players available can be the substitute players rely on so-called Henchmen, NPCs of different classes, then fill the missing roles. With Nightfall have also been introduced in the heroes. The Henchmen are my own, which can be self-equipped and geskillt and of which we may take up to three.

The level cap of Guild Wars is just 20th not the main focus of the game lies in the high levels but in the control of the skills. Most of the content is designed for level 20 characters, but in the progression of increasingly demanding. Here is a really great feature and a major plus point of the game into play: the combat system. While other online role-playing first fireball level 1, level 2, then fireball, etc., gets the strength of a skill depends on the skill set to the particular attribute points. Furthermore, you can not take all his skills, but must be limited to eight. Many develop skills in combination with other special effects, so that a good portion comes tactics in the game. One could, for example, using a doubling craft a particularly powerful attack run twice and does not wait for the cooldown.

are listed above PvE and PvP part separated from one another quite strongly. PvE players can for months fight through the story and improve their character with better armor and weapons, and equip their heroes, get free playable tracks or nothing "meaningless" things such as collect minipets. PvP players immediately create a level 20 character and play for free new skills gradually. There are a variety of modes in arenas and tournaments for individual players or guilds. In Factions Alliance Battles can be influenced by even the boundary between the two factions.

Guild Wars shone on his appearance with one for an online role-playing unusually good graphics. Framework was initially a proprietary DirectX 8 engine, which was completed in early 2006 to DirectX 9. Although there are now some pretty MMORPGs, is a general Guild Wars even after five years still one of the most prestigious title.

A final but crucial difference from other MMORPGs is that Guild Wars is a full price game though, but waived subscription fees, one available for some time Complete Collection makes the whole package so the relatively cheap MMORPG experience. Certainly one reason for the long-term success. For particular Guild Wars is useful to dwell for a few hours every now and again is, without coercion, because one has paid for the precious Time.

Five years is a proud time for a game and just enjoy the title as long as such an enormous popularity. Five years in which little to change the game, in which it and its players have grown. It will be the future with complete justification, Guild Wars is one of those great, rare titles that dominated the online games and have co-founded. And even if Guild Wars will make 2 much different and will be new, we will play with our Warrior, Hunter, Monk, Mesmer, Elementalist, Necromancer, Assassin, Ritualist, Dervish or Paragon time to time again the countries Tyria, Cantha Elona and roam and face the challenges imposed by this us.

Roses for the Prosecutor



In February this year, Gerd Buurmann, the artistic director of the Cologne Severin-Burgtheater, against Walter Herrmann, the owner of the shadow of Cologne Cathedral's 'Wailing Wall' complaint asked for sedition. Anti-Semitism was "always an emergency," explained Buurmann then his decision to call the police when he discovered in Herrmann's 20 square meters large, anti-israel permanent exhibition a particularly disgusting anti-Semitic caricature (photo above) . The step of interregional Theater director found some media attention, especially the local Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger took the Cause of a number of coverage and commentary , but also found in the world and in the Jerusalem Post they received. Buurmann even played with the Cologne Council fractions in touch - and got a mostly positive response to the ad, as he has on his blog bravest of nowhere executed in several papers. Earlier, the Cologne, including their political representatives, Mr Mann's work - than those "anti-Semitic anti-Zionist installation, with the Israel blood-sucking and murderous monster is demonized " (Henryk M. Broder) - for years either ignored, tolerated or even welcomed. Thanks Buurmann initiative seemed to turn the tide slowly, so Herrmann anti-Israel exhibits a precaution ever degraded - not without announcing, again in June to try to go with them to the start - and the small remaining after all a little off-placed of the cathedral.

But the Cologne public prosecutor suggested already early on, dismissed the complaint, and now she has set out Gerd Buurmann the reasons in writing. But before you go to this argument are a few fragmentary remarks on the history and present of Clause 130 of the Criminal Code , of "sedition" punishable by law, may be quite helpful. There was a regulation under the same number already in the Empire and the Weimar Republic, was with her, especially the "incitement to class war" prosecuted - it is explicitly directed against the political left. In the Federal Republic of § 130 of the Penal Code was finally amended some 50 years ago, the then adopted version is still largely valid today. Immediate reason for this amendment was a series of anti-Semitic crimes - arson attacks on synagogues, injury and Nazi glorification included - in the years before. In the new wording of clause originally proposed, however, the term "incitement to racial hatred" and dropped by the much more general term "attack on human dignity of others" respectively. In October 1994, was added as an explicit denial of the Holocaust a criminal offense, before it was legal to take only as an insult. Five years ago, finally found the approval, denial and trivialization of Nazism their input in the determination.

can about the Need for this provision worthy of debate, for example, liberal Americans who consider it simply as superfluous and harmful to criminalize political in spirit - as well as may always look it - and think it's ultimately a dictum that is commonly Voltaire ascribed ". I do not share your opinion, but I will fight until my last breath that you can express your opinion freely," There is best reasons for the view that the responsible citizen requires for granted - and thus a significant difference to the German approach disclosed, according to government intervention in the right to freedom of speech necessarily required. It should be a consequence of National Socialism, is given as a reason, because I also therefore be able to enforce so easily, because the law did not come in time was given by legal means. Thus, a social issue is in fact delegated to the jurisprudence, not to say deported. This should keep the mob at bay a bit, stop him when he is far too much to himself. Maybe it's somewhere but also a realistic view of things, that the German majority state fetishists and so through official taboos - are civilize - including a sanction for violations.
Just as
: The Cologne prosecutor might see in the cartoon criticized by Buurmann no sedition. In its explanatory there are several lines of argument: first The picture is not anti-Semitic, but merely express a sharp criticism of the "Israeli military policy and its support by the U.S. government" from. 2. It is therefore not to grab all the Jews, but only other states respectively, their relatives, who would not, however, protected by § 130 of the Criminal Code. 3. The public peace in the Federal Republic was not the caricature - as is required for a conviction for sedition would be - in danger, because the poster does not contribute to "the mood of large sections of the population to deteriorate towards Jewish citizens". are remarkable about this argument in particular the comments on the question of how the image anti-Jewish stereotypes served: The prosecution concedes initially, there could be 'memories of the anti-Jewish blood libel of medieval and hateful image representations of Jews [...] from the time of National Socialism awaken "- but then to make a U-turn:" Typical of anti-Jewish image displays at all times is the use of specific anatomical stereotypes that should characterize the Jews in general. In particular are exaggerated facial features to the Jews than to make ugly, unsightly and racially appear inferior (Jewish, crooked nose ', etc.) of such imagery is not served in this case "

In other words. Without hook nose no anti-Semitism - as easy Although this is the prosecutor suspects well what the (Palestinian) artist and has driven it and Walter Herrmann. But this idea he rejects once again to finally make a expression of Jew-hatred to the central criterion, whose failure to perform automatically in a fully comprehensive Acquittal leads. The illustrated on the bib of the torso David Stern (the "first and foremost the symbol of the Jewish people," as Emmanuel Nahshon, the ambassador of Israel in Germany, in Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger wrote ), which filled with blood, glass, the carving up of the child with the goal of eating it - all this is for the Cologne public prosecutor's not an expression of unfathomable hatred for Jews, but symbolizes rather "the weakness and helplessness of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," the "with" backup ", approved etc. of Americans of Israel cruelly mangled, ' be. It also saw the "reasonable average citizen," says the prosecution - and thus has no doubt right. For the "criticism of Israel" (read: anti-Zionism) as a contemporary form of anti-Semitism has long since entered the mainstream. And nothing could show better than average understanding the opinion of a prosecutor, for the incitement against Jews, where at best it is a brush if you hate the objects a giant teeth in the face. So much for "the past".

were to remain still the matter of the "public peace". The would be broken, was the prosecution in the cathedral city, "when a general unrest among the population within the Federal Republic, but at least occurs under a considerable number of persons or a risk is". The hypothesis, "the poster campaign that a notorious, in other respects to fanaticism prone, world a better place 'can trust the Jews undermine the legal security" or "the psychological climate in the public to Jewish citizens lasting effect," but that there is "no evidence ". Gladly would know at what point such "evidence" would be given as: If the Jewish communities of their Members would recommend to pack your bags and emigrate? Or if there would be boycotts and pogroms? The fact that this country last year, the largest anti-Semitic parades since the Second World War took place seems, at least not satisfy. Not the fact that the German organs of repression in Duisburg, Mainz and Dusseldorf and in Bochum, in Berlin and Kassel precedence over each case with all the authorities against the showing of Israel flag, because - to put it in the terminology of to formulate Cologne prosecutor - prone to fanaticism gooders (that "Israel critic") felt in its air permanently impaired mental (or, Schockschwerenot affected could feel ).

That is: While in Germany calls for solidarity with Israel and over again once the police on the scene, or even of justice is punishable by a fine, even have unequivocally anti-Semitic attacks on Jews in general and the Jewish state in particular free development opportunities, if they spend just as "legitimate criticism of Israel." They must be taking lessons from history.

What Does A Broken Hymen Look Like?

Alps Danube Nazis Ahmadinejad



About the Western friends of the Jihad and its real enemy.

BY RENATE GOELLNER AND GERHARD SCHEIT

you yell "Daham instead of Islam" and admire the jihadists. Under Austrian neo-Nazis particularly popular website Alpine donau.info who otherwise wishes than the Kronen Zeitung and the Freedom Party, the "West in Christian hands", is also on Distinktionsgewinn of: "With cheaper Muslim hostility is cooled be Mütchen. We have no religious problem but a problem of foreigners "here in the narrow circle of far-sighted you think in large spaces and distances himself when it comes to reporting on Iran, violently small area of the tabloid newspaper, with no one else dares to create, not even the presidential candidate of the Yellow Party, Joerg Haider, who once made her great. And since breaking the middle of the xenophobia of the envy of the world such a successful competitor in terms of barbarism out - the fact that in the other area are the leaders and the rackets: Ahmadinejad and Khamenei, the Revolutionary Guards and the Bassidji, that we must stone there who the community is not added, but above all, that only where the common enemy that is breaking the boundaries and the free Movement of capital and labor, organized and guarantees the end offers: Iran was the "last free state."

The Alpine Danube is the epitome of neo-Nazi. As the anti-imperialist to the "left" it is to the Freedom Party: he feels himself to be the designated area theorist, a foreign policy strategist within a movement that relates to what the big goal, entangled in the everyday political struggle of the retail space. The anthem of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the demonization of Israel and the United States, as provided by the Alps-Danube-Info could just as well originate from the homepage of the Kai-Homilius-Verlag, Jürgen Elsässer where its people's initiative simulated. The original Nazis are simply the consistent anti-imperialists: they not only say "Zionism", they focus with particular verve directly to the Jews, and they attack not only the Jews in general, but also target equal to a certain Jews or a certain Jew.

The anti-Semitic projection needs as opposed to racism always concrete, individual persons as objects. The personification of the need to complete: It is not Judaism or the Jewish "race" to all that is abstract in the capital, which seems scary and threatening to modernity, to give a tangible form. They need a very specific, generally known as "personality" to focus the hatred can be: an individual who personifies in the paranoid imagination all that the Jews are foisted in general, in the literal sense. No coincidence that the "documentary" about the Wandering Jew and the "film" over Jud were fresh rotated simultaneously: the conspiracy must remain elusive in the anonymous mass of Judaism and also in the individual person within reach are, they also demanded to the idea of the machinations of a mysterious dark-Israel lobby, as under the current media in the face of Ignatz Bubis, or Ariel Sharon. Only then can the anger it to yourself to prove that they are in any case the death of the Jews, each with individual apart.

The Alps Danube Nazis now have "chosen" to this end, Simone Dinah Hartmann. They speak of "propaganda against Iran," which they are to their own to organize against the Jews: "To all mongers especially the troubled, Jewish anti-German Simone Dinah Hartmann, with their alliance. Stop the Bomb" It's not enough of the "Israel lobby" and signed by the "propaganda campaign" of the USA, is with the sure instinct of a baiting crowd track down a person as the spokesperson for a campaign for sanctions reached with Iran to the threshold of a certain media, public, about which one would like to come themselves. How is content in the anti-Semitic joke, not the hatred of the person's name, and he aims directly at the physical aspect: it must be their voice be heard, it must be her her photo, and underneath it says: "The eyes are the mirror of the soul." But even the hairs of those attacked, particular attention is given to how to express that we all use to know when the time is that time again.

Neo-Nazis are something like the abridged consciousness that this society has of itself. Therefore, the Bizarre: The reduction, first, the individual Development, the "rule of infantile complexes" (Freud). From the jargon of the habitus and the attributes to the design of Sites: The impression they make is always the one to infantilism damned forever faced with the threat that they would he "take expensive organ" that if it be " pressed interest in it too much. " Under the influence of their own unconscious threat of castration fear, despise and hate the Jews, which they imagine themselves as obsessed as unmanly men and particularly lust. Is the Jew chosen as the object of projection, are magnified by the "sexual Tirolertum" (Karl Kraus), the fear of sexual autonomy of women, or the paranoia. Direct insight in this frame of mind given the drawing of the ever-popular cartoonist Carlos Latuff, from the Alps Danube Nazis, as in a Freudian slip, was placed at the end of their hate sermon: A Palestinian in the Gaza Strip, which obviously after a rocket attack by the Israelis with blood-stained pants a dead child in the arm holds, but so low he keeps the child, so that only the unconscious association with the sexual organ is not inevitable.

The Alps Danube Nazis like flirting with their danger, but that did something desperate because they know that the society in which they live, they refused proper, grown-Nazis to be that they are therefore condemned to remain childish. They are so threatening to the individual, the chance encounter them - they remain only a violent reminder of the post-Nazi subject, one in particular zones locked and fenced, recent form of violence. That is why the longing look in the other large room, to the suicide bombers and the suicide collectives of the Middle East. But instead of explosives rods with the Alps Danube Nazi only a flag pole (see the logo of the "Alpen-Donau-Info") or simply beer cans around with them, rather than the prospect of a nuclear bomb, which is aimed at Israel, he has the prospect of individual threatening Jews, and finally perhaps to a post at the Freedom College. should the Chairman wishes not only observers from Iran, the party, as suspected at a conference in Washington ( Népszabadság ,: even in nearby Hungary, on Jobbik -Nazis, accept the solidarity with Ahmadinejad practical forms 20/11/2009, and we thank Karl Pfeifer for the hint) to get money from there, and it is forming a "Hungarian Guard", where you do not know if it has more the old Arrow Cross or the Iranian Pasdaran a model .

Either way, their isolation and in their connectivity, The neo-Nazis are a kind of concave mirror of the whole: They not only expressed where this company is, but also - where she is driving - in an intimate union with the far left: Built on the mass murder of Jews, threatening appeasement and indifference to the Jihadist forces that want to repeat this crime in new forms, at any time to turn into open support.

music and videos for real role-playing nerds

The Internet is a grab bag full of ideas of some brilliant but sometimes a little bit crazy people. RPG fans is revealed precisely in terms of media is a real paradise for ambitious fan works. while surfing I came across many interesting things that have directly or indirectly to the subject of role-playing. Three of them I would like the following just imagine.

all there is for music lovers first the MMORPG Radio mixed with Barden, Scandinavian Saga, soundtracks, Irish and Celtic music with mystical sounds, the right atmosphere would make while gambling . What is needed is to listen hearty Winamp, Real Player, Windows Media Player, phono star, or a browser with Flash plug-in.

Already an international cult following has formed around Brentalfloss . This artist writes articles mainly for well-known video game soundtracks and has released his first CD. My absolute favorite is the embedded video above: What if Final Fantasy had Lyrics? Who wants to hear more on the website ScrewAttack they are officially home.

The most grandiose but am I stumbled upon while browsing is The Guild . An Internet sitcom about the online role-playing guild The Knights of Good . Consisting of a force normal people just like you and me . Currently, there are three seasons, both can be viewed on DVD as well as on many Internet sites, including at YouTube . The individual episodes are each long 5:00 to 8:00 minutes, and can therefore look pleasantly fast, as there are no lengths. Rounding out the franchise through the music video Do you want to Date my avatar (see below) and also a comic book is there now.

The Guild was conceived by actress Kathryn Felicia Day , it will include many television series like Buffy - the Vampire Slayer or Dr. House, and numerous appearances in more second-rate movies like Bring It On - Again appear not unknown. She writes not only the writer but also produces the sitcom itself, and already so many Internet Rates reap it. In Guild Wars 2 is the way they address the role of Zojja .

Everyone should have an affinity for MMORPGs, this gem not to be missed. As far as I could for the most consequences and German subtitles are available.
