Was bound to happen. 35K minutes is ridiculous.

Oh well I guess. We'll probably have around 8k minutes when it's all over. Maybe a bit more if it still goes 1k an hour.

If its 35k minutes, then its 35k minutes - leave it that way. It`s the very rule of the game itself - this way gw will be turned into game with no (or everchanging which is ultimately the same) rules. I as a player have less and less faith in this game because of constant interventions by the ANet. I feel that every nerf, every changing of rules ruins the game. "This build is too powerful - lets nerf few skills" just by itself sucks hard. Counter build would eventually come up, so what is the nerf for then? Don`t try being creative instead of your players, pls.. When i played, for instance, Heroes 4 wouldn`t probably play it if i had to patch it with "better" rules on a few days basis. Or maybe we are all playing one big virtual rpg with ANet as gm - it`s just that we are unaware of it..

Isn't GW supposed to be dying, or be dead already, or something like that?

Favor was reset. In other news, the sky is falling.

No, seriously, the drama is way out of proportions over this.

BTW: you're appear to be still playing, which means the game is fine as it is.

What's the point of resetting it? Scrolls have already made it possible to get into UW/FoW whenever you want. Any effect on ecto/shard prices would probably be very slight, if it changes at all. And it would be a drop in price, which seems to be anet's goal for every other item to make GW more appealing to casual players. Is ecto the one "sacred" item that they want to be more expensive instead of making it easier to get?

No, obviously not.

It may not gave been an intentional reset, but a game bug.

The favor reset occured at 34592 minutes, or about 2^21 seconds. Depending on how the game was programmed, it is possible that reaching that level would cause it to 'overflow' and reset to zero.

I read the first page. I believe it's recorded in seconds. It is true that an overflow can occur at 32767 minutes, but we were well over that.

THIS WAS NOT INTENTIONAL. IT WAS NOT 'TAKEN AWAY'. THIS IS A BUG.

Edit. I was wrong the first time, it's in milliseconds. Read 8 posts down.
