Great work on the locations so far. Keep it up! I'm just a little worried about copyrights on the images that you uploaded: Did you take them all yourself or were they ripped from somewhere else? --Tetris L 04:40, 23 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * They are screenshots/screengrabs from GW so they are my "own". I think we had a discussion somewhere on the site about images taken from GW still being ArenaNet property, but since alot of sites are doing this, I think we should be pretty ok there. But I haven't ripped anything from other sites ... yet ;) kaarechr 04:44, 23 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * It's a screen capture of the map when you click (not double-click) on a location. It's as legit (or illegit) as every other screen cap here on the site. --Karlos 09:25, 23 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I wasn't worried that we might violate ANet's copyrights. (We all know it is common practice to publish game screenshots on the web without even asking for permission of the developer. And even if they had the right to forbid it it would be stupid, because the screenies mean free advertising for them after all.)
 * I was thinking more in terms of other websites. But you said you took all the screenshots yourself, so my concerns are setteled. --Tetris L 00:12, 24 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * On a side note, I was very tempted myself to "steal" some screenshots from GameAmp. They have some VERY nice images of the GW bestiary. :) --Tetris L 00:20, 24 Aug 2005 (EST)


 * As has been stated before (by me, I think), GameAmp and other fansites, including ours, have no legal standing when it comes to copyrights on anything Guild Wars related, including screenshots. While it may be bad karma to swipe images, it's certainly not illegal (or, at least, not any more illegal than posting ones you made yourself). &mdash;Tanaric 14:42, 24 Aug 2005 (EST)
