This had BETTER not be true
Every person in Urgoz's Warren American District 1 says that the update today, May 24, 2007 at 8:00 PMish EDT just nerfed drops and experience from suicidals, in HM and NM, and so the solo trapper/spirit farmer in urgoz has effectively been nerfed. If this is true, I just lost my 20k a day benefits :(. Can anyone confirm or deny it? Nhnowell 20:02, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * A Gimmick build designed to Solo Farm an Elite Mission was nerfed? Those Bastards! Now we might have to Join a Real Team and Actually Do the Mission! Nooooo!!! --- 67.172.14.127 20:04, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * What's the benefit from suiciding anyway? Please explain. Alaris 20:13, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * People were using spirits to farm the Vampires. They'd use Suicide Health and the like to explode on the spirits and drop loot. --Xiu Kuro 23:17, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * You seriously weren't expecting that? Lol.. &mdash; Skuld 20:21, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

May 24/25 update
All armour is now inscribable- older Tyrian and Canthan sets have been changed to reflect this. Update notes aren't up yet, but it's worth mentioning. :) -- Elveh 20:06, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Awesome, time to change my helmet into Dreadnought's instead of stupid Radiant. And maybe buy another for axes. --Kale Ironfist 21:18, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * How should we go about doing the rewards page for pvp...under Tolkano or a new page--Warior kronos 21:21, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

wiki
whoa does that mean there is actually some reason to work on that "official" thing they have? /wiki loads a page? idk i gotta think about this...&mdash; JediRogue  21:00, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Surely this will only make them a prime target for vandalism :( --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:03, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

Anet's wiki is trying to compete with Guildwiki? If they are this is quite a cheap shot. Unofficial wiki ftw M s4 21:08, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Idk I don't see why they started it. Maybe they had that in mind all along and couldnt have used this wiki for that. But let see, if they came up to our esteemed admins and offered to do that to guildwiki.. could that work? am i even making sense? not sure...&mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 21:11, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Just to make sure you know JediRogue... they were planning to add wiki support to Guild Wars ever since they made the official wiki. Their only problem was due to how GuildWiki had their licensing (which prevented it being used for profit IIRC, and therefore ArenaNet couldn't use it). --Kale Ironfist 21:18, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * As I understand it, there was some discussions between GuildWiki and ArenaNet, the big problem was to do with copyrights and the licensing arrangements (GuildWiki being more "open source" and so no one person can claim "ownership" to an article, but rather is a collective of a history of edits, therefore Anet would need to seek permission from every one of those editors to legially be able to use the article from here. An impossible task). --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 21:19, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * It was as Kale said. Our CC license uses the "no commercial use" clause.  ANet thought about funding us, but then thought that directing people to the wiki would possibly violate that since it would clearly enhance GW itself.  Getting permission from editors is the only alternative to using our license.  --Fyren 22:07, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I kinda figured it was something like that. I've kinda been avoiding thinking about the whole official wiki thing... so, is it identical but with official status and stuff? &mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 22:14, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
 * ...and different license. Anet provides the hardware and bandwidth, up to the GW community to maintain it. Sadly, when first signed up on that wiki, figured they'd be able to "dump" alot of the info from their database (dialogues, stats etc), but seem they no willing / able to do that, so in effect does replicate much of what GuildWiki does, but just under different licensing agreements. --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 22:30, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
