New style for material pages
In case anyone's interested, I'm almost ready to overhaul our crafting material pages. Join the discussion if you have any opinions about it. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 02:15, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Me as miniature, and miniatures as me :o??? Bug
When I logged into Longeye's Ledge, I was confronted with a very funny bug, and took many screens from it... and I dunno if you know this or not, but I never have seen this standing anywere on the wiki, so I'll put it here: Omg, I still am as miniature whenever I load into a town... Wtf is this?
 * I've never seen this exact bug, but I have seen the opposite where your character enlarges. Playing in the crystal desert some years back, my warrior continued to run off a ramp into the sky and kept getting larger as he ran.  It was rather amusing and if I dug around, I probably have a screenshot somewhere of it where my character is standing on the heads of my smaller allies. :P -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   Isk8   (T/C) 09:54, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The verdict is in. April_Fools'_Day_2010 Its Anet's April Fools Day joke. Enjoy -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]   Isk8   (T/C) 10:11, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia Poop
Hi,

In order to perform scheduled maintenance, all Wikia sites will be "read-only" for about 30 minutes starting at 10:00am UTC Wednesday April 14. (that's 3:00am Pacific, 6:00am Eastern). During this time editing will be disabled, but you will still be able to view the site.

Thank you for your patience, The Wikia Community and Technical Teams

RMT ad on the main page
I'm drawing a blank on where were supposed to report these, but this RMT ad was on the main page just now: http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-3255760518790512&output=html&h=90&slotname=6441124621&w=728&ea=0&flash=10.0.42&url=http%3A%2F%2Fguildwars.wikia.com%2F__varnish_athena%2Fathena%2Ftag%2F%3Ftag_id%3D365%26size%3D728x90%26slotname%3DHOME_TOP_LEADERBOARD&dt=1271789227173&shv=r20100331&correlator=1271789227176&frm=1&ga_vid=2041855950.1266119559&ga_sid=1271789068&ga_hid=1388825450&ga_fc=1&u_tz=180&u_his=2&u_java=1&u_h=900&u_w=1440&u_ah=900&u_aw=1440&u_cd=24&u_nplug=24&u_nmime=109&biw=-12245933&bih=-12245933&ifk=318734419&fu=0&ifi=1&dtd=10 Not to mention that I didn't think I was supposed to get ads at all, but anyway...

 * I think those are all reported through Special:Contact now, just like all other Wikia issues. &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:01, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll do that. Related question: am I stupid, or did I use to not have an ad on the Main Page, but do now for some reason? I can't seem to remember having it there, right at the TOP of Main, between the header and the first content boxes, until today. O_o All I did differently was to add some buttons to my monaco.js.

 * Well, I reported that using the Special:Contact link, but I'm still seeing various incarnations (including the one I reported) of the same RMT seller ads on the main page, EVERY STINKING DAY, it's like there are no other ads for anything ever. Grrr... >_< What's the point of Contacting them if nothing happens? RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

New GW2 info coming soon
From the Guild Wars 2 facebook page: "As you might have guessed by some of the posts we've been making here, the torture is about to end. :-) Some of you are on the edge of  your seats. Many of you know that the anniversary of the original Guild  Wars is coming up. We have a few things up our collective sleeves that  we’re going to talk about this week. We want as many people to know  about it as possible. We’re doing our part with our PR and marketing  teams, but we need your help in spreading the word! If you like the  stuff you see this week, vote it up on Digg! (If you don’t have a Digg  account, you can use your Facebook account to Digg stuff up.) We're  super excited at how engaged many of you have been through the Guild  Wars War in Kryta viral campaign, and we hope you'll like what we've got  cooking for Guild Wars 2 (soon (TM)). :-)"

 * Omg, I almost care. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:46, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, fo'sho Arenanet has pulled my strings one too many times. I expected a trailer for GW2 or war to finally break out in Kryta on the 24th, the day of the anniversary, but no. At least I can look forward to the end of the anniversary event when something is definitely (mark my words) going to happen. If I'm let down any more, I'll celebrate this anniversary week with my last UWSC before I uninstall the game. Five years is much too long. GW2, you'd better not disappoint. ~  Jujipoo [[Image:Jujinicon.jpg|16px]] [talk] 01:31, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * You do know the official anniversary isn't until April 28th, right? That's the day Prophecies was released.  I have no idea where you got the 24th from.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 03:25, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Finally gameplay info much? -- N  aoroji   11:04, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am pleased with this Manifesto. I will play once more. :) And yeah, someone told me 24th... but it sucks even more now because I'll be disappointed twice over if nothing happens tomorrow. ~  Jujipoo [[Image:Jujinicon.jpg|16px]] [talk] 02:00, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Update: ANet has just posted their design manifesto for Guild Wars 2. Random Time  17:27, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good, looks brilliant, hopefully the skill system will work (sounds like it has the danger of becoming complex) - seems like what Warhammer Online was trying to achieve, can't wait for the finished game Random Time  17:35, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I especially like the part about throwing jars of bees at people. Oh and firing projectiles through a fire wall?  Can anyone say burning arrows?  'Cause I can.  Or you know what?  BURNING BEES.  Survive that. --XT-8147 08:25, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the bees would need to survive that first :P -- [[Image:Isk8.png]]  Isk8   (T/C) 09:50, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * If they can deliver, and its not clear to me how all this will work out in practise, then it sounds good. If it solves the "been there, done that, what else is there to do apart from getting and staying drunk (in game that is) all day?" problem I'm facing at the moment then GW2 has the potential to be great.
