What I wonder more though is why some people seem to blame Gaile. Someone earlier in this thread said "Good going Gaile..." and more people complain directly at her. Does Community Relations Manager sound like Server Crasher to you?

No, But, how many people actually care?

Hell. you can all blame me. Just, it's not Gaile's ault, So quit acting like it is!

We don't know Who's fault it is, and by presumption, we screw ourselves deeper into the wood.

Lol, how true. Our guild website also had an almost instant spike in activity as soon as no one could log in, lol. What would we do without GW...

I'm probably going to lose some items and a SF quest but so what. It was actually kinda fun.

The zone portals were broken so we got to wander around the enormous world map and still be in Dist 1 Ascalon City... WEEEEEEE!!!

If people were to be allowed to keep the items they had purchased today. then EVERYONE would be rolling around in fissure armor. and that would kill the game.

Hearing all the people complain about this price reset makes me smile. For one they are all lazy and have no clue what it could to to the game (For example ruin it). And they expect to get rich quick and get the best stuff. when people spent over a million dollars to get the fissure they wanted. I myself have saved 84 ecto and 44 shards. and if they had allowed the price reset. i would have stopped playing alltogether.

so in the end. It was not christmas they took away from you people crying out there. They saved your ass from the end of the world.

And i would personnally like to thank a-net for saving this great game

I seriously doubt making Fissure armor available to everyone would KILL the game, considering this game was about skill in the first place, not grind to get items.

However, it'd piss off a group of players who play Guild Wars for the grind for items(no idea why, when if they want to grind they should probably go play WoW or something) who would probably then quit to go play WoW.

The people that are left are probably going to be the Pvpers and the people who play PvE not for the items but for fun. However, that's not gonna help sales, so I guess you could say it will "ruin" the game.

Ohhhh, am!

Ohh boy, let me get the cofee and my reading glasses.

I know the servers will be back up about 11:30 PM Eastern time, Which is 4:30 GMT, etc etc.

I'm going to be glad to see this rollback thing happen, I feel bad for the people who were in the middle of a mission and completed it and now its going to be reset. But if they did it once, it can be done again.

I'm not always happy with the fact that things cost so much in GW, but this is all a part of the challenge of the game y'know? If gold was as easy to get ahold of as it is in Sacred [You can get about a million in a couple hours by just playing the game], It wouldn't be quite as challenging, or as rewarding tof inally get that piece of FoW armor or what not when you finally can afford it.

Anyway, this is my two cents on the whole deal. It would have been nice to mess around with while it was there, but I wouldn't have expected it to stay that way without a rollback.

Anyway, I'm a bit delayed due to my own internet problems and catching up on the news, gotta love failing internet providers...

Yeah, I'd like to thank everyone who tried to jump all over the economy and exacerbate the problem, thereby wasting the time of those who were actually doing quests and missions when this happened. ANet has done an excellent job containing this. Meanwhile, I hate to tell my guildie I'm going to have to help her re-cap that elite, and the build changes and attribute quests I did are for naught.

Then again, I'd rather have that than let the people who were trying to maliciously capitalize on this keep their ill-gotten gains. Good show, ANet - it's pretty amazing this is the first time I can think of real downtime in almost a year of availability..

If you left LA, you'd just pop back in at a random location.

Still there btw. Haven't gotten kicked yet. I gotta say, even with the rollback this was a success for me atleast. Never seen a district so empty and made quite a few friends there.

Just too bad the friends server is down, so I can't add them, lol. Wrote down their names in a notebook I had lying around. But I guess we can't get it all.

Zephro · Mar 14, 2006, 02:11 AM // 02:11

Haha, I was asleep when the whole crash happened... so yeah.

FireMountain · Mar 14, 2006, 02:12 AM // 02:12

So what if for an hour traders went wild! So what!

There is no game economy. Some can run players around to hard to get to places, some hang around and help lower level players through some missions.

Some farm and farm and farm then try to sell what they find.

I got my gold from ebay for the most part there are only a few with a lot of money those runners to Droks. The economy of this game is terrible as bad as I've ever seen so I don't see how these traders could have had a negative impact on it.

Am I missing something here?

mrbb · Mar 14, 2006, 02:12 AM // 02:12

I'm not surprised that they are rolling back the game and I'm not upset. The fact is that it was a glitch and no one should be allowed to exploit it. Besides, it was fun to see everyone going crazy around the traders and see the rest of the city empty. It was also fun to imagine what I would have done with all the gold I would have gotten. Oh well, back to tendering the crops...

What the heck does that add to the game? Just another way to totally disregard the storyline and rush a half-baked toon though the game IMO.

Back on topic:

Everyone has a bad day even Anet, so lets just move on and continue to enjoy this great game we all enjoy.

Retribution X · Mar 14, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Ahh. The joys of GWless life.

It really sucks arse.

but, hell, i'd like to have been ingame.

guppy · Mar 14, 2006, 02:16 AM // 02:16

Try not to cheat and play the game the way it was meant instead of buying money off of ebay, there is still an economy in the game :P If there were no economy (actually look up that word), you would know it ... but since you bought your money, you wouldn't know!
