At the start of the GPMU, there were 126 members (Full members and Members of Honor) playing 36 games. Out of those 126, 58 had no gaming information by their names. 

The following are lists of games by how many admitted to playing them before the GPMU:

Games with one player:

Age of Empires 3, Age of Wonders, Anarchy Online, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Counterstrike, Dark Age of Camelot, Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Siege 2, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Empire Earth, Everquest 2, Hellgate: London, Morrowwind, Online Chess, Realm of Kaos, Star Wars Galaxies, Supreme Commander, Total Annihilation, War of the Ring, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Warhammer Online 

Games with two players:

Battle for Middle-Earth, Battle for Middle-Earth 2: Rise of the Witch-King, Eve Online, Starcraft: Broodwar, Well of Souls 

Games with three players:

Battle for Middle-Earth 2, Warcraft 3 

Games with four players:

Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, Guild Wars, Starcraft 

World of Warcraft had 17 members admitting to playing.

Lord of the Rings Online Had 54 members admitting to playing.

During the GPMU, the gaming slate was wiped clean. There are now 131 Full Members and Members of Honor listed on the Games Page. Of those 131, 98 members whose e-mails were given on the Activity page were e-mailed the GPMU letter. Of those e-mailed, 9 returned undeliverable. 30 responded. We now play 30 games 

I also gleaned from World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online those whose could have logged in recently enough to be considered playing the game (the last three months). From those games, I gathered 19 more names. 

Lord of the Rings Online has the admitted most players at 31. This guild branch has 21 members with max level characters, so schedules permitting, they could run pretty much any raid. 

World of Warcraft has the second most at 19. It’s a shame we are not all able to be on the same server, because we could easily run 2 10-mans, if not simultaneously, then a week :}

Games with one player:

Demigod, Diablo 2, Dungeon Siege, Dungeon Siege 2, Empire Earth, Eve Online, Everquest 2, Free Realms, Online Chess, Red Alert 3, Star Wars Galaxies, Starcraft: Broodwar, Team Fortress 2, Total Annihilation, War of the Ring, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Well of Souls 

Games with two players:

Atlantica, Battle for Middle-Earth, Battle for Middle-Earth 2, Battle for Middle-Earth 2: Rise of the Witch-King, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Guild Wars, Warhammer Online 

Games with three players:

Second Life, Starcraft, Warcraft 3 
 

This concludes the State of Valar Gaming Address for this year. Gaming information is now posted on the Games Page. Please check it to make sure yours is correct. 

Happy Twelfth Anniversary to the Valar Guild!
