After much analysis and discussion, we’ve decided to permanently retire the Xunlai Tournament House.

YAHOO! YABADABADOOOOOO SCOOBY DOOOBY DOO! hahahaha no more XTH...I finally got something I wanted in this game. Now just nerf SF and 600 smite to smithereens and I'll be even more happy and 2010 will be a great year.

Do people really care about the may Zkeys? That's just sad. I forgot about it 1 month after.

They revamped it because it had several critical security flaws.

We can probably expect this level of commitment when GW2 comes out.

Everyone, remember this day well.

Good news, and no I'm not being sarcastic. I'm not a fan of huge rewards being given at no effort whatsoever.

Double good news in that people will finally stop asking about the XTH, it was seriously annoying.

Being · Feb 10, 2010, 09:53 PM // 21:53

Thanks for the info.

I'm glad that it never got fixed, it was ridiculous to begin with.

Bug John · Feb 10, 2010, 09:57 PM // 21:57

XTH was fine for 99% of us as it was introduced the first time

why the f*** did they try to improve it ?

btw, am I the only one who's getting seriously pissed off at the usual "sorry, we can't, we're working on GW2" excuse we're hearing all the time ?

Deatgs Corrupter · Feb 10, 2010, 10:03 PM // 22:03

yeah don't bother working on the game u already have.. tht is a great way to restore player faith after bare-faced lies about account security, guild wars 6 month campaigns and regular skill balances

As long as its the truth, im fine with it, this games already lost, might as well make the second game better. Although with this support, im not sure it will be.

Not a fan of the way they handled this whole mess, dont care too much about the xth although it was nice, it would be nice to get our may points too but i doubt it will happen...

didnt expect anything more than this.

Trader of Secrets · Feb 10, 2010, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Somewhat expected. I still dont understand how the reformating of how XTH looked like made so much errors. I mean it was fine until that, wasnt it?

Greedy Gus · Feb 10, 2010, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Good decision. Predictions system was flawed, and let zkeys & RPs be for actually pvping.

Devastating Flames · Feb 10, 2010, 11:14 PM // 23:14

Good glad to see anet rather work on the gw2 then go and fix old items that will not be used after a few months pending the relase of guild wars two taht is. for them to actually go and fix the house could delay the realse of gw2 by a month or two if not more. two thumbs up from me

I'm afraid it will be more like a 2nd Prophecies, without heroes, a small skillset which won't grow because that makes it 'unmagageble' and with a new underwater level (do we really want that?) as compensation...

Eragon Zarroc · Feb 11, 2010, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Exactly, Why do you think they drag it out so long..

Yeah, except people have been whining about "not knowing" the status of the XTH for months, even though the last update on the situation was clearly "if this doesn't work, it's over".

Anyway, nail in the coffin ftw.

Cale Roughstar · Feb 11, 2010, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Meh, my 3 extra accounts have been filling in nicely as mules etc for a while now.

Don't particularly care now, seeing as we haven't had it in forever. Had pretty much forgotten about it tbh. Still a fail though.

Finally a slight sign of functioning braincells.

thanks for the update xth rip not that it surprises me but thanks i was thinking for a while it became vaporware and we were not going to hear anything more about it

meetwo · Feb 11, 2010, 01:42 AM // 01:42

I was assured that there was a record of what I was owed and that it would be made right.

To TPTB, you have the records. Why can't you simply put the keys into the accounts? What is the big deal to make this right?

I'm woefully tired of empty promises. And as you can see from other comments here you can see that others are as well.

I appreciate that the team is working on GW2, but that isn't an excuse to abandon the people who are participating in the current version of GW.

This is easily fixed. Why won't you fix it? Put the keys into our accts.
