I really feel sorry for those people. As if getting to level 60 wasn't bad enough, the grinding for those l33t shoulder pads is awful.

its not that hard to get a mesmer with fow armour to pose for a comic just gotta ask

Lighten up, jeez... that's just a fun GW comic which i thought would be an amusing distraction while we wait. I didn't make it, I just liked it. But whAt-evEr... <mutters under breath, "sheesh, everybody's a critic...">

"Nevermind. Nothing to see here. Go about your business..."

Couldn't have said it better myself. I didn't get a refund for my SoA Axe when it got nerfed, this shouldn't be any different. When you take risks, sometimes you lose.

Although I assume the rollback will just restore the game and give everyone thier money back.

I really don't care just along as none of my stuff is gone

sheesh, I won't lie, I was like a kid in a candy store. The rollback is fine with me since America didnt have favor and I happened to be in a town selling some things when "ZOMG 250g for shards!!!". Damn skippy I bought some up. I wasnt around during the last reset and thought this was actually a game. Silly me. I figured it was a way to get even with the people who farm for ebay. I bought items up for my guildies and yes, to use for myself. Maybe now if Anet can do something about the idiots scrolling in local chat 500 times "WTS ecto 7k.....345" "WTS ecto 7k....346". Good call on the rollback IMO since now we won't have 4 million scrollers trying to sell shards, gems, and runes. I'd gladly give up the shards I bought if they'd start regulating the rooms more also, instead of worrying about prices. Reporting seems to not effect anything. /endgripe

excellent game Anet btw, and keep up the good work

/endbrownnose

would have been nice though to have all that stuff, but its completely understandable. /endpost

your stuff wont be gone, unless it was acquired at 1 pm pacific and on...

personally, I didnt even bother when I heard about it. I thought it was too good to be true. It was amusing to hear about it and about all the excitement relating to it though.

the word rollback: I bet that stung a few players in more ways than one, today, no doubt.

Yes, a roll-back is like a leap in time. If you spent 1000 on Superior Runes, the Runes will go away, but the 1000 will return to your pouch. There's no loss there. That is not to say there is no loss anywhere. We know that somewhere, someone has completed a difficult mission for the first time. Someone has had a special green item drop, which he may seek for some time into the future. We are very sensitive to the fact that there will be losses, and we're very sorry for that.

But know that if we did not handle this, and did not conduct a roll-back, everyone would be the loser. Everyone would suffer irreparable harm, because the items that have value would be devalued. The economy would be damaged, perhaps to the point where it would never recover.

So, without being unsympathetic about any individual's loss, I do feel that, given the alternatives, handling this with a roll-back means that it's a short-term loss for some, but a long-term gain for all.

30 more minutes woot!

stickyballs · Mar 14, 2006, 03:59 AM // 03:59

I wonder what they're using to restore the game point. I hope it's not something crappy (I'm sure it's not) or it might be glitchy and some people will be missing some stuff. And you know what happens to people who claim something of theirs went missing...nothing.

ANet will be wary of people trying to get money saying they lost items in the rollback, even if it actually true.

EDIT: Erased some of my description. Better said by Gaile

Ah poo... I had four people over to play guild wars tonight.

Yeah...thats spring break for us. :\

Rhuobhe · Mar 14, 2006, 04:03 AM // 04:03

Good job on the Rollback, I think overall it made the community happy. If there was no rollback, I could see a lot of people quitting due to the broken economy.

Esprit · Mar 14, 2006, 04:08 AM // 04:08

Dang, I bought the Pre Order today and was hoping to put the key in... I swear... out of all days Guild Wars decides to deny me access...they had to pick today, heh.

Waiting (mostly) patiently to log into the game, I see that a large download is occuring (currently at 217MB and counting). Anybody know how large the total download is/will be? And what about those 56K'rs? I wonder what that is going to be like ...

Darth Palegis · Mar 14, 2006, 04:10 AM // 04:10

Rayne Nightfyre · Mar 14, 2006, 04:13 AM // 04:13

Lol, so what has everyone been doing with the downtime of GW?
I've been browsing Guru, and tweaking a few things on our guild website.
I know, sounds pathetic, but what would I do without GW...

Edit: Oh yes, how could I have forgotten...I've also been pondering over how rich I could have been if all those Obsidian Shards, Rubies, etc were still there in my inventory

96TSi · Mar 14, 2006, 04:15 AM // 04:15
