Curse

Cuthroat Dibbler · Mar 14, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

For those of you on Cornish time ...

the game will re appear somewhere around quarter past tuesday.

Now being a man of trade myself, I have to say I'm disappointed I missed out on such a bargain as I was selling Rats on Sticks in the Fire Islands to those Mursaat fellas! Funny lot ....

Anyway... I believe fairness and balance have been trademarks of this game and the current reset and roll back show that "those who control Tyria" have OUR best interests at heart. And as a trader I can assure you... Fair trade is NO robbery !!

So.... anyone.... Rat on a stick!? 25g and I'm cuttin' me own throat 'ere!

And holy shit dude, you have a job, and a couple friends, this makes you above everyone who enjoys the game.

Like I said in the above post.

Uninstall

Exit GW

Enjoy your rocketship

Now I'm definitely sure you have a life since all you do is scout this thread and harass people.

We will be more careful. We will make it so roll-backs don't take this long if we ever have to do one, which we hope will never be necessary.

But we had to make this roll-back, because we saw the math and we could predict the impact on the economy. We're really sorry, but we're also resolute in our goal of protecting the game economy for the greater good and for the benefit of all players. If that takes away "ill gotten gains," well I am sure everyone will live. I do regret that someone's special find or certain accomplishments may also be affected, but in the end, it was and is the right move to make.

At least gail explain what happened, what anet was doing to do to fix it, and explained why they are doing that to fix it. so thnx!

Don't be sorry, people should be thanking you for caring so much about the community, and not let a mistake screw up the game.

Keep up the work. At least maybe, by some miracle, some people too some time off, and did something else than playing games, the rest just either complained or understood whats going on.

From one GW gamer who has enjoyed the game(and preordered Factions), Thank You Gaile. This problem is not a big deal.

Oh, yes, did I mention that your rabid users are hammering away at your servers trying to get back in while your boss is breathing down your neck and spouting off comments like "get the server back up, this isn't very good for our image, can you please work faster?" All this when it's late at night and all you want to do is go out for a night on the town or collapse out of exhaustion at home.

Multiply that example by a magnitude of 100.

they had to think about what they're getting into long ago when they were choosing their majors at university... its not so bad to be a rabid user after all

Oh, hey... just thought of something. All I am out is a cap, a mission, and an unidentified gold rune, but I'm sure there are others that will feel the sting more than me. Know what will make my sting go away? How about a nice "I survived the rollback '06" shirt for my characters? Customized just like the pumpkin heads and such. That would be a quick little program, yes? That would make me real happy.

EDIT:... I spell like a drunk monkey.

Maybe for the small setback you could suggest to the devs to open a new item/weapon as a token. Jut an idea anyway. I wouldnt make the suggestion if this was a hack caused by some kid with nothing else better to do.

Once again,

Attention:

To all players that feel cheated or think Anet sucks PM me your account username and password because YOU DON'T DESERVE IT!

Go play another game ignorant losers!

Good job by Anet!

Thanks
