Hooray, we can now buy gold again...why did they have to re-allow them in... >_> 65.93.218.50 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the gist is that ANet can now permaban people / not have to refund their money after 7 days. Some laws in Taiwan essentially made it impossible for ANet to keep these people out. But in the good ol' U.S. of A., ANet can do what it needs to. JonTheMon 22:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * So they are saying « come to us so we can ban you » ? Funny... TulipVorlax 01:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And Canada ;)72.141.194.123 05:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think someone at Anet was bored and decided to read their own EULA which states that the EULA will be interpreted according to US law regardless of the nationality of an offender--Cobalt | Talk  18:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Didn't Microsoft make that mistake in the EU? They can interpret their EULA any way they want, but they can't compromise the sovereignity of a foreign nation through it. Taiwan's laws are valid in Taiwan, American law is not. Utter Havoc 23:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also the fact of the physical location of the servers you play on to take into account. That's why Taiwanese users PLAY of servers located in North America. I doubt that they made this change without consulting someone with knowledge of how international laws work... &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 00:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As explained by the dev team, they changed the Taiwanese players to NA servers so that they follow US laws instead of Taiwan laws. -- [[Image:User Gem sig.png|Gem]] (gem / talk) 00:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My my, and I thought that was an April Fools Joke. Now they got me. --Birchwooda Treehug 01:12, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ^^Yeah, so did I :(--Cobalt | Talk  12:18, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

So basically Taiwan is now the 51st state of America? d-: Anyways, yay for my mule being back! -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 12:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Dam imperialists, expanding your empire--Cobalt | Talk</B>  12:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OMG I can see it now - "You give us Taiwan and we'll stop bothering you about Tibet." Headlines: Guild Wars solves national crisis! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't forget the Olympics opening ceremonies d-: -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 12:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * ROFL!--<font color="Blue">Cobalt </B>| <font color="Green">Talk</B>  12:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, now I have two accounts on the NA server... Guess I'll transfer one of them to the EU one. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 12:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Why stop there? Do what Gares did and get more accounts to use only for mules! [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 12:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I'm not interested in more mule accounts. I just want each of my accounts to be on different servers. (wonders when one'll open up in Africa). -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 12:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

What's so good about African servers, Pan?<strong style="color: black;">reanor 17:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, their pan is one of the great weaknessess of african servers. Good ping though. (Yes, once again i am desperately bored.) --[[Image:Cobalt6.jpg|50x19px]] - (<font color="Blue">Talk </B>/<font color="Green">Contribs</B> ) 12:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

odd news
this isn't relevant to GW yet, but might be someday in the future micropayments, anyone?
 * haven't edited wikia in a while, forgot to sign Omnipresentgnome 11:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * NCSoft has had the NCCoin thingy there for a long time already (in Exteel). I wouldn't be that surprised, if you could pay in the current GW store using these coins. I just hope it won't turn GW2 into Microtransaction hell :/ &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 14:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If it will, I think there will be quite a few ppl who will stop playing it. &mdash; <font color="#00ff84">eX <font color="#00a2ff">tinctioN 16:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh god... Here come Tormented weapons for $2 or uh... FoW for $10?..  Unless they make it possible to buy more storage with it, I don't want to hear about it. >_< RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's like they're trying to compete with the illegal gold traders. O_o Let's see if they offer a better deal... RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know... Most game designers these days know to only offer indirect aids - games which offer ingame items (a la Flyff) which can circulate the market to non-paying players for extortionate prices tend to kill the games pretty fast.--82.16.192.115 23:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey Look a new one
Wonder what it could be :072.141.203.119 23:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Something to do with the arena bonus weekend maybe?--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 23:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's skill balances! Look at Shockwave in game- cast time was increased. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha, must've been b/c of the overpowered shockwave spike in GvG, me and my friends were running that in TA a few weeks ago, and someone must've took it :/
 * Aegis now costs 15e. Oh, and Lightning Orb lost cracked armor. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Damn GVGers overusing crap.--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 23:26, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * E-Surge now burns 11 energy with 9 dmg per energy. 99 dmg with 16 Dom.
 * Blinding Surge got shorter blind duration, but also shorter recharge. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Look prot spirit can only be cast on target other ally... O.o ... J/k imagine that happened?72.141.203.119 23:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, gotta go to class. I'll be back in a bunch of hours. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like Ancestor's Rage cast time is 1s instead of 1/4s? - Brian Fellow
 * Escape wasn't actually changed, just checked. (Though I think it DOES need to be changed, to allow to be kept up 100% of the time at 15 expertise, and to end upon hitting with an attack (or spell)76.174.38.191

 * Except just about everything else was nerfed. That definitely hurts the Paragon. -Mike 00:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Beating a dead horse, paras healing WAS useless compared to monk or rit, now...--[[Image:AlariSig.png]] 00:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * ...there's no point to playing Motivation, and maybe even Paragons at all in PvP. Mending Refrain is one of the few skills (for healing) that seems useful now, and even that was nerfed pretty bad. In the end, Mending Refrain's healing over-time is equal to Song of Restoration and Ballad of Restoration combined. -Mike 01:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Song of Restoration didn't need that recharge nerf IMO. It's an elite skill after all.  Not sure what they were thinking...  Shadowlance 01:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
