Eye of the North Released?
So it is in the new stuff section again? WHy not GW2 also?
 * Because its in 2 years as opposed to a few months? Lord of all tyria 13:23, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
 * It was taken down before because it wasn't release, since it wasn't released it wasn't news any more than GW2 is.

Repetition
Doesn't the page kind of repeat itself when it says "New player campaign guides - For first time players"? -   Darktemplar56 21:33, 27 June 2007 (CDT)
 * no 67.162.10.70 21:54, 27 June 2007 (CDT)

Archive Time?
The page is now 68 kilobytes long, more than double of what some computer browsers can handle. Nhnowell 11:30, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * was thinking the same thing when i opened the page up. -- Xeon 12:01, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

Modding
Recently, players have begun using programs such as TexMod to toggle with the txture of the game. ANet seems to be internally divided over the issue, and some modders are being banned, while many others are not even though they both are doing the same things. Are there any articles on the Wiki about modding? Also, I'm curious as to what you guys believe ANet will do about the issue, because modding multiplayer games is an INCREDIBLY grey area in games and game companies. Nhnowell 19:38, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Word has it that TexMod has trojans. ANet has seemingly banned people at random, and the official response is, until further notice, that yes, modifying your gw.dat file will get you permanently banned. Emily said she would take it to the higher-ups, but the last official response leaned towards banning. - Auron 19:49, 4 July 2007 (CDT)
 * See the GWWiki article for the modding guide that started this all. Emily Diehl will keep us informed on her talk page or the talk page of that article. -- [[Image:Gem-icon-sm.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 01:36, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I hadn't heard anything about TexMod trojans...that's interesting. I read the guide, and Emily Diehl's page. Apparently no modding unless ANet comes out with a traightforward statement that modding is OK. Nhnowell 11:23, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

Ick...
Is it just me, or does anyone see the main page tabs (Article, Discussion, Edit, Jistory, Watch, etc.) covering the title "Main Page". Nhnowell
 * Clear your cache, see if that solves it. -- Xeon 17:31, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Thanks, it's gone now. Nhnowell 17:32, 8 July 2007 (CDT)

I see it as well and clearing the cache did nothing. 69.40.46.76 23:07, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
 * If it isn't gone already for you, just try changing the page to a different link on the wiki, or refreshing the page a couple times. Nhnowell 10:23, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Ads
This is a 13 year old + game, and we have ads with half naked women on the sidebar....how nice. - Entice789  (Talk | Contributions) 21:04, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Totally agree, I don't want to look at a mostly naked girl when I come to the wiki page. And I don't want my 14 year old sibling looking at it either. --67.10.79.97 23:28, 9 July 2007 (CDT)


 * The worst I have seen is a Character that is cartoonist to say the least. Besides...if your 14 *cooties* lolz Readem (talk *contribs ) 00:29, 10 July 2007 (CDT)


 * If you're talking about the IMVU ads, at least they're better than this pop culture abomination *shudder*. -- Gordon Ecker 00:45, 10 July 2007 (CDT)


 * They're talking about Bullz-eye.com. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.28.88.89 (contribs).


 * Was definitely talking about 'real' human girls, not cartoons. Borderline pornography. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.10.79.97 (contribs).


 * These days you can see borderline pornography in shampoo commercials. Still, the fact that you can see something in a commercial doesn't make it work-safe. -- Gordon Ecker 23:55, 10 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I didn't see the add itself so I cannot judge about that, but when I visited that website it took me just 2 mouseclicks to get to the R-rated movie section (and having software (malware?) trying to install itself on the pc).--- : Jill Bioskop X ( T | C )  04:47, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

Sponsor for GWiki
You have a sponsor www.bullz-eye.com that popped up. This site contains porno graphical images... Figured I let you no before anet did.--68.102.128.17 00:04, 10 July 2007 (CDT)


 * / actually that site is just a gossip site if anything. Models, stars, ect. Not really "Porn" at all. Readem (talk *contribs ) 00:22, 10 July 2007 (CDT)


 * On the other hand, that may well be the semi-naked women as mentioned in the above section. Some people do find that offensive, however I feel that there's much worse to be seen in-game with the "naked" dancing and, er, stuff... -- Snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 04:58, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

Im lovin the bullz-eye ads.Amaster2 11:52, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

date for the updates
I think it would be cool if you guys put the date of the last update next to the link for updates. So I can see if there has been one when im on my way to another section. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.149.65.129 (contribs).

Game Basics
This may seem overly simple, but under GAME BASICS can we add a sub title for Keyboard Controls? I assume most people who bought the game in stores got some kind of manual or keyboard template to show which keys did what, but if you bought online as I did - there is no template and I can't find one on the WIKI so far.

Meanwhile, I did recently edit the GAME Interface section to add what I know about the use of the ALT key and CTRL keys. Probably not the best place for it, but I don't see where else it should go. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by LeFick (contribs).


 * Hotkeys has a partial list. I've added a link from interface to hotkeys. -- Gordon Ecker 17:43, 12 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Thanks, I have been reading Wiki for 6 months, and recently just started to contribute edits. But in all that time I had not even randomly come across the hot keys page.--LeFick 19:03, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

What's with the new Borders?
I just noticed the rather weird lop-sided bordrders which I asume are a broken attempt to make something like a drop shadow, not sure they look too good, though I can't do much better, broken my own userpage trying to give it drop shadows :) --Nela 08:44, 14 July 2007 (CDT)

suggestions
does anyone know how to suggest something that should be added to guildwars?--67.67.161.12 17:48, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Try the forums. -- Gordon Ecker 19:51, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * where do i find those--67.67.161.12 14:49, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * see http://www.guildwars.com/community/fansites/ for a list of them. -- Xeon 14:54, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
