Moved to a new (faster) server yesterday. Php 7 and Ubuntu 16.04. Whatever those are. There will be a few transitional issues.

Kevin says the certificate is not for the content on legacy, but for the avatars and images which are stored somewhere else.

I was a lurker rather than a poster but this site has been a great help over the years and wanted to doff the cap to it, sincere thanks to all the contributors and moderators, and thanks to Max and Kevin and the rest of the team for the Legacy site, off to sign up now...

GWG will remain in ARCHIVE MODE once the transition to GW2G is complete! That means that we won't lose any of the glorious history that has accumulated here.

Hurray!

As someone who often reads the old threads, this makes me very happy. Thank you Curse.

Will be sadly missed. Made many a great friend here & some great deals. Hope to see many of you over in GW2Guru to continue our community spirit. Hate that old things we love so much die off.

Guild Wars Guru was definitely the place where I first started to flourish into the kind of gamer I am today and was also where I developed much of my writing style, having spent so much time here discussing the game and new ideas for it. I've actually had the, eh... privilege of seeing my old writing style from when I was a younger teenager on an archived forum for another game, and I can say with confidence that GWGuru allowed me to develop far beyond that. The forum put me in touch with many more people who enjoyed the game than I could find in the small town I grew up in, and it was great to have been able to share many a passionate word with so much of the community in previous years. Even though I have long since stopped playing the game and regularly visiting this place, its closing and archival will be a sad moment in my history.

I was preparing to write a long piece on the subject of asking this community to move to GW2Guru and other related subjects, but on further review, I decided that it wouldn't do very much good and that it didn't make sense anyways to weigh in on an issue of a community of which I no longer participate, so I won't bother. It would have very much been in the likeness of Guru to write another long-form complaint, but it's not what this place needs right now from someone like me.

question (hope its answered before its offline/archived)
does it also save our PMs?

jayson · May 28, 2016, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Going to miss this forum.

Guild Wars is the only game that has kept my attention for 10+ years.

I'm gonna have to say with 90% assurance...No...(its why you should have had a copy sent to your email ...though this was not functional for ..a while ...so...)

but I would pm Kvinna and ask her to make 100%.

XvArchonvX · May 28, 2016, 07:06 PM // 19:06

It's been a long time since I've posted much here (as it's been a long time since I've seriously played GW1), but I'm still going to miss this site. I have so many good memories of great conversations about all sorts of GW1 stuff from back in the day.

Thank you for this and thank you to everyone who's helped run this site. It's meant a lot to me.

So happy to hear that GWG is going to be available in archive mode. So much content has accumulated over the years to simply discard. The community can survive in another forum, but it was gonna be a hurdle to carry over the mountain of content posted here over the years.

/happy!

Piippo · May 28, 2016, 10:17 PM // 22:17

If we're going into archive mode, gotta post this one last time for future forum archeologists to discover. Lest the world forget.

More than likely you won't be able to login in, but I am not 100% certain. If you can't login, you can't see your PM's.

**Marty Silverblade** · May 29, 2016, 01:03 AM // 01:03

You can download all of your PMs at once in xml/csv/text format if you want to guarantee they won't be lost.

bsoltan · May 29, 2016, 06:36 AM // 06:36

When will we know the exact date it gets changed to Archive mode?#

My this place ever be remembered and be as treasured by the future internet explorers that happen upon this glorious place. It shall be deeply missed...

Thankyou all for maintaining and Sustaining this site or so long.

I have played GW1 for 4 years, I met my current GL here, and I have been a member of just that one Guild ever since. I have some very good friends there. While I still consider myself a casual gamer; I've logged a rather embarrassing number of hours in this game and GW Guru has been a tremendous help in terms of builds, play, and advise how to ....

Thankyou again for all the work that goes into Sustaining this forum. BB.

Ayuhmii Shanbwa · May 29, 2016, 09:46 PM // 21:46

how do i download them? i have no idea how it works, haha
thanks for the answers

**Marty Silverblade** · May 29, 2016, 10:48 PM // 22:48

Go to your private messages. Scroll down nearly all the way. Download options are between a box labelled "Display Options" and a dropdown box on the right labelled "Forum Jump".

DreamCatcher · May 30, 2016, 01:30 AM // 01:30

Looks like I got here just in time, haven't been online in 7 years lol!

So what's gonna be lost forever soon?

Cuilan · May 30, 2016, 02:04 AM // 02:04

There's this "archive" already http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/archive/index.php

Generally when I see a forum archived it's either similar to above or all normal users are locked out and unable to create anything new.

But yeah I'm going to miss the drama, passion, debates, math comparisons, and what not.
