Hi there, a question for you, what do you mean by "the french Guildwiki is bugged"? --Xasxas256 03:34, 23 November 2006 (CST)

They move to another server (how do you say "hébergement" in english?). And now, all articles that we're having accentuated caracter in their name are lost. Very terrible in a french wiki that use a lot of theses : é à è û...

According to wordreference hébergement is hosting in English. I actually did quite well at French in high school, but only because I sat next to the best student and copied off him! I'm sorry to here about the problems over there, I was curious because we don't here from our French wiki counterparts very often. Still you've come at a good time, the GuildWiki has never been faster! ;) --Xasxas256 03:52, 23 November 2006 (CST)


 * The French Wiki move to a new host one week or two before this one. I was on this wiki for a long time now (before Factions) and i know about the "slowness" and all. I just decided yesterday to login and create my user page. No big deal.  I made somes edit from time to time while not log in. Like, a "word" in red even though the page exist; the brackets we're wrongly placed.


 * I dont think you will hear a lot about the french wiki because it will never be as "good" as this one. Frenchies don't participate a lot to the Guildwiki FR. And my interest in it was simply because i was alway refering my french friends to this wiki and they mostly don't understand english. So, i wanted to translate it so my friends could understand.  But now, many pages that i've done are lost. As if it was not hard enough. Always needing to check back with the game how they translated things like names of place and skills or bosses (or PNJ, oups; NPC) and items.


 * I have to much free time. That is not a problem. But i don't want to works on a wiki that might vanish some day because the person who pay is hosting can't anymore. Elena is his user name.  And, she is mostly never there because it seem that his work ask her to travel a lot. That why the french wiki was broken. She had only a few days to proceed with the transfert and she also udapted it to a new version of mediawiki.  And now, she gone. We dont know when she'll be back nor if ours bugs will be taking care of. Me, i think that they might need to erase it and start a new one.  No big deal, a guy is copying all pages to a local wiki on his computer (i too have a local wiki but i'm apparently too lazy).


 * See ya. TulipVorlax 14:06, 23 November 2006 (CST)

Account thief !!!
One of my best friend IG loosed her account to some haker that as penetrated her computer and stolent her hotmail and her GW account. He has deleted her characters and created a new one named "X Wolfy X". What can we do but spamming him massively ? And that wont solve the problem. Yes, she contacted Anet but how can she prove that the account was hers ?

TulipVorlax 11:07, 11 December 2006 (CST)
 * I wonder if Anet keeps track of a user's account settings? In other words they can tell what address was originally put in for that account and simply send a letter there with a code and your friend can reply saying she's received the letter and give Anet the code, thus proving herself as the rightful owner of the account. Hopefully Anet has some process they work through. --Xasxas256 19:20, 11 December 2006 (CST)

That won't work because it was an hotmail and he stole that too. She made another hotmail and he stole it too. I've juste ask on the support site with a screen that show him laughing at us in our own guild and alliance channel. Too long story and difficult to keep track of things. TulipVorlax 19:56, 11 December 2006 (CST)

Update:

Now he has stolen us 3 GW account. One is in another guild of our alliance. The girl saw his computer reboot for no reason and first thing we know (a little later on) he was in game with that newly stolen account and was demanding to every playing to rejoin him on TeamSpeak. The boyfriend of that girl use the account of our guild leader to eject the newly stolen account becaused he was expulsing every members that was not an officer.

More infos later maybe. Do you think we should alert players to not use hotmail as login in the game ? But the second account was not link with an hotmail but an Yahoo... How far is this going to ? When will it end ? Are we going to loose all of our GW Account ?

See ya TulipVorlax 22:22, 12 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'm not sure I understand how this is all happening but it doesn't sound good. I don't know how someone could steal multiple people's accounts. Good luck, let us know what happens. --Xasxas256 06:10, 13 December 2006 (CST)

Most of our friends haved their account back. With many caracters deleted in the case of my friend. TulipVorlax 06:26, 19 December 2006 (CST)


 * I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news, both I suppose. I guess if you're a PvPer it's some conciliation that all the skills/items that were unlocked will still be unlocked. If you're a PvEer then it's not so good :(


 * I took a look at your French Wiki user page, I was surprised how much French I remember: Hi. I play? Guild Wars a little and I'm 18. I have three chapters (or campaigns if you prefer). I'm in a small guild...small alliance with 96% Europeans. The next two sentences I don't understand much of, but I do recognise the word beaucoup! So how'd I go? I'd have to be at least as good as Babel Fish :P Catch ya ou au revoir!! --Xasxas256 05:59, 20 December 2006 (CST)


 * DUh! Not exactly. I'm 30 years old since 30 october 2006.  Was talking about what the /age command returned in game.  18 month...  But that need some updating...
 * I think i should udapte it and then translate it... Just wait. TulipVorlax 00:43, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * P.S.: Yeah, my friend was a PvE player.  She lost a caracther that had Prophecies and Factions all done.


 * Heh heh "Not exactly", more like I was miles off! :P Sorry to hear about your friend, that's some bad luck. --Xasxas256 01:27, 2 January 2007 (CST)
 * Forgot to return and mention that translation is done. It's on my user page.

GuildWiki.fr exported
In the past few days, i've exported most of the pages of the french GuildWiki and imported them back in my local wiki. Might be usefull someday... ---TulipVorlax 21:56, 5 February 2007 (CST) (Grrrr! I hate forgetting to log in. But that was the last of it.)
