What difference is a forum gonna make from an email it is still written down over the net so what you talking about.

Read what I replied to ... then see if it is unfair.

"Had we had earlier reports, we might have prevented the need for a reset, but by the time we learned of the situation, we were forced to do the roll-back.
"
Is what prompted me to reply. Again not flaming anyone but to complain about not getting prompt reports when the "support" system is autoreply to go post on a fansite ...

I'm just laughing at the fact that people thought they would gain from it all. Even if you bought 100 ectos at 250 each, it would still be worth around 250 tomorrow and the next day, and the next. Not like you're profitting there. Not like the materials were just going to magic back up to 7k after you bought a bunch. Way to think it through :P

We love ya Gaile, in an ethical sort of way.

See ya IG

yslee had a decent analysis as to why ArenaNet couldn't just leave the game the way it was. The thread has since been closed but the analysis is good, IMHO

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=136304 is the thread

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

Yeah, I had to give a 30 minute presentation today for my college class in which I forgot to breathe half the time, not a fun day at all. But, soon, everything will be back to normal, including all of our abilities to play Guild Wars again, I'll be more than happy to see that come around.

The best we can do now is hope that a problem like this doesn't happen again, because I seriously dislike having GW cut off, due to my faulty internet provider, or due to things like this. This has to be the first major problem I've seen Guild Wars have, which I have to say I am very impressed with. GW hasn't had to shut down for so long since the Beta Events before GW was released. Gotta admit, that's pretty impressive...

Saider maul · Mar 14, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

I am sorry but i have to say this.
I have had several threads deleted on the topic of server lag and issues.
I have even been banned for disgussing this topic.LOL.was a fun trip.

THIS CRASH PROVES WITHOUT A DOUBT ANET HAS A MAJOR SERVER ISSUE.

With all the threads up don't you think this crash could have been avoided with a little prior action to the server that the people made public information of?

This is my 2 cents. let me know your thoughts. please staff no hijacking.

That is actually a pretty good point. But then again who doesn't disregard the storyline? Who wants to play the complete game over to get to the end? The drops in the beginning are hideous and doing missions over are tedious. The skill trader gives casual players a way to get skills that they already have instead of searching for some obscure outpost or not having your complete build until Ember Light Camp.

But whatever. You have a valid point and I see it.

First off, Gaile did NOTHING.

But I'm unclear on what I'm losing here, will I lose all my stuff obtained after 1pm?
Thats all Im clear on but will I lose levels / EXP?

Amen. I'm just chillin and listening to some music. Roll er back Anet...... I wasn't on when the 'incident' happened and wouldn't care if I was to lose some mission or whatever. Its a game not the end of the world.

*walks away whistling*

Phaern Majes · Mar 14, 2006, 02:25 AM // 02:25

Dunno but 2 hours 'til go time

Lagg · Mar 14, 2006, 02:25 AM // 02:25

Anet made a good call. But what about the trader reset when the economies got linked?

Nothing was rolled back then.

boxterduke · Mar 14, 2006, 02:27 AM // 02:27

Man Quake 4 sucks.
I had it installed since it came out and never played it because I do not want to waste any free time I have on any other game than Guild Wars.

Downloading The movies, Serious sam plus other demos to see whats out there.

Too bad that by the time GW is back online its time for me to go to bed.
What an end to a none perfect Monday.
We love ya Guild Wars.

looks like GWG isnt the only one experiencing the spike of users. It would suck if that caused the website server to go down too...

That wasn't a massive change in prices. Well at least not a 8k to 250g drop. Plus everyone was effected equally by that. This doesn't effect everyone equally. Those that missed it would be out, and those of us who want our previous ectos to be worth what they are supposed to be worth would be out also.

I logged in about halfway through the bedlam. I was at War Camp and saw someone selling superior absorptions for 11k. I didn't know this whole deal with the reset was going on, and I actually went to this person and wanted to trade. He was trading with someone else, however. Then I saw someone mention the very low prices, and I headed to Forge.

Yes I was one that bought 10 superior absorptions and 100 shards. And I know it will be lost since the servers are getting rolled back. And that's fine, it was funny seeing all the chaos and people just making jokes and what not.

People trying to sell runes to those that didn't know about the glitch, thats sad. Those are the kind of scamming lowlives this reset will affect the most.
And someone mentioned earlier that this is truly the first server downtime GW has experienced in it's span. A previous game I played suffered crashes almost twice a week, and that was a subscription game. I give kudos to ANet for doing a great job in handling this. And although the thought of buying 60k runes at 250g was fun, this would of definitely destroyed the in-game economy.

My 2 cents

I've already explained why. Traders then started off with a low price but increased the sell price of their wares quickly based on the demand, which was extensive since everyone thought they could get something for cheap. So, prices stabilized rather soon after the reset. Today, prices were frozen no matter what the demand was so the economy was unable to respond in any way.

It is fine with me that they are rolling back. If they haden't it would be completly unfair for the ppl with FoW armor that earned it the truthful way.Besides that, The game does almost have a real life economy it is very competitve it would have demolished the game if they had not rolled over.
