My favorite PC game for the past 16 years has been Guild Wars (2004) and its sequel Guild Wars 2 (2012). For those of you doing the math in your head and thinking Guild Wars has only been out for 15 years, well I am one of the lucky few to get into the closed beta that came out in

The above picture is the oldest picture from the oldest version of Date Ariane. The modified date is listed as August 6, 2004.
