Because we have had nothing to discuss lately except the possible falling of the sky, I decided to post a little more positive news. There is an update coming next week and it, according to Linsey, is a monster of an update.

I have a level 20 of every profession now which is cool. Been farming whenever I have the time. Mostly Chaos Plains perma-SF or Ranger FoW Forest Farm. I have enough ecto and 1/3 of the shards I need to get my Derv her FoW skirt. Still no where near enough cash to get my Warrior her Vabbian though. At least I finally realized that I like my Necro best in Shing Jea so I don't have to get her Vabbian too.

Work has been crazy for me this week. Trying to get everything ready for the next build, which barring complications, should be out next week. Plus working on getting things rolling on the stuff planned for next month. Right now I'm working on writing up the Dev Update for all the changes incoming. I don't know if I can actually explain all the thoughts behind the stuff we are doing, but we'll see. If people have questions, which I'm sure they will, I would be happy to answer them here once it's Live. Man, it's going to be one monster of an update. Should be interesting. Heh.

I've started to get more and more messaged in game from random people which can be both cool and awkward. I hope people aren't expecting me to remember everyone I talk to throughout the day. My friends list has been full for a long time so I can't really add more people to be able to recognize all the alts they have too. I'm not unfamiliar with talking to people I don't know, just not when they act like they know me. That part is where the weirdness comes from. Oh, and for those people that do message me in game, I have taken to idling a lot on Live, so if you message me and I don't get back to you for a while it's because I just didn't notice since I was off working. Same goes from if I am not super chatty. Just trying to get work done.

Oh and it cracks me up when someone messages me asking who I am cuz I'm on their friends list and they don't remember if they played with me or not. One guy was VERY insistent that he ONLY adds people he plays with. I haven't pugged anything in a very very long time so I assured him that it was highly unlikely that we have played together. That wasn't really something he was willing to accept. *shrug*

Level cap raise would actually bring a lot of people back playing again, but that would pretty much ruin all the fundamentals of Guild Wars.

Heard that one before. Monster updates were always great for PvP

Well, nice that they at least say a bit, curious bout whats going to happen though, but they want to have it still be surprising (well my guess is HoM and VoD and maybe something really unexpected)

Same here, for some reason I'm scared of the cataclasmic possibilities.

Well done Lindsey Murdock.


Despite the ambiguity of 'monster of an update', it certainly tells us that it will hopefully be significant.


*very excited!*

If it takes them a month to get a good update, then I'll wait a month for all updates.

I think the monster update refers to the new apocalyptic nerfbat made especially for this update =D

They mentioned somewhere they're going to buff some crap elites (maybe even Archer's Signet) and hopefully buff some of the older skills such as shielding hands, whose usage has been minimal since soa came out...

I'm going to expect to be one of two things:

1. Sorely disappointed
2. Apathetic

Hmmmm. I'm hoping for another 'meh' tonic and apathy.
