Gaile Gray in HoH! favor for ANet
Commander Ryker
Wins the favor for anets office? Come people, get real. There's no way it's real.
I pwnd U
Did anyone try PM'ing Gaile about it? That might get us more answers then yelling at each other saying if the screens are fake or not! Still GG Gaile!

It is possible that Gaile was bored one day and put it up as a joke. ANet is allowed to have fun, too

Guild announce ftw imo.

Who's having fun in HA?

Faked or not is kinda beside the point, it made people laugh didnt it? But, for arguments sake why couldnt ANet have done that? Theyve shown that they have a good sense of humor with this game, and as Mango said Gaile could have been bored, or actualy won. The flip side is, thats an easy Photoshop. Remove the background from one screen shot, copy and paste the chat box onto another screen shot. Would take less than 5 minutes for anyone halfway familiar with PS. Only ANet and the OP know for sure, and neither is talking.

QFT. Who cares whether or not it's real, it was hilarious either way.
And I'd have to agree...Guild Announcement most likely. Clever use of spaces could make that possible ^^

About 5 months ago, I met a male warrior in RA. When I asked him about it, he said the character had been around since release. His name was Gaile Gray.....im almost certain its the same person.

I'm guessing he somehow also set up a server location in the country known as "ANet Office"?
Wrath Of Dragons
No..he said he just took the name as a joke before Gaile had even done any of her visits
edit:
Hmmm...just actually read the final part of the screenshot. the part about the office.
I really did meet a warrior named Gaile Gray once, but i doubt he won favor for anyone special.

Grey can be spelled either grey or gray...

Its pretty creative if it is a guild announcement, you must have been REALLY bored to think that up ^^

Assuming that ANet didn't rename characters just to pull this off. And before someone says that ANet can't rename characters, I think that if your IGN is deemed offensive then ANet will make you change it. So all they needed to do is flag Gaile Gray's character as having an offensive name, make the new character with that name, then reflag the first character to change the name back when finished with the PvP character (if a record is kept of names deemed offensive ANet would simply have to delete that entry from the records).
As for the ANet Office servers, they would have to be testing patches before releasing them. So all they needed to do there is bring it to the current version of guild wars, then connect those test servers up to the main ones.
So it seems possible that its genuine, but I think that its either an edited screenshot (take screenshot with no text, then place text in a matching font onto it) or a guild announcement trick.

I'm not sure if it's real or not, but I hope it is. If Anet did this it's pretty funny imo.

No Cathode it isn't true, notice Heroes is spelled wrong in the Gaile Gray shot

This is fake, ... or just someone wrote that from Anet office; I suppose there are an announce system where they could write anything and show to all players, plain and simple.
Neriandal Freit
It's not fake, it was a joke upon the players to see who would catch it.
Obviously, someone has caught it.

Alright, this one is going nowhere with everyone's "OH THIS IS FAKE BURN IT!!!"
"Oh its not fake stop being a tool."
Either way its a picture and it was supposed to be somewhat funny that something like that would possibly happen.
I'm shutting this down and I wont bother to reopen it unless ANet comes to me to confirm/deny this event over what Gaile said earlier in the thread.
(Sorry Gaile, what you said doesnt confirm/deny anything.)
