Maybe it's some kind of prelude to hard mode or something. Eh, I dunno...

wait wait....

last year, gwen spawned in towns and killed people
this year, gaile spawned in towns and killed people

you cant make char names with gwen in it
you cant make char names with gaile in it

gwen is a young girl
gaile is a young girl at heart

gaile likes to play a low level pet smiter
gwen likes to use you as a low level pet and heal you

gwen loves flowers, pearls, new clothes, and music
gaile loves flowers, pearls, new clothes, and music

gwen has been known to body block people into new zones
gale has been known to ban people from the game

gwen endlessly repeats the same phrases
gaile endlessly repeats the same phrases

gwen's whereabouts are unknown
gaile is also very secretive

most people find gwen bemusing, but love her anyhow
most people find gaile bemusing, but love her anyhow

Death in town does not change the /deaths count.

(I've tested it there).

SirJackassIII is correct it was a rally organised by GWO lore forum for Mursaat as they feared they would be left out of GWEN and replaced by the Asuras. Obviously ANet thought they would have some fun. Wish I had remembered about it, I was going to attend but completely forgot.

Seems like it. They really didn't let anyone else know about this little "event".

Because it was not Anets event. Its like SirJackassIII said. Quintus of GWO lore forum organised a Rally to support the Mursaat about a week or two ago (planned for today). Gaile said she would try to come along.

After Quintus finished his first speech we all danced ect...and then Gaile came to listen to the speech again. Then abit in the Mursaat spawned from Gaile for fun in ID1 and started killing. I believe people heard about this from guildies and ran to district 2 so Gaile spawned them there aswell.

The actual rally was fun and i nowere near expected this. I was actually partly afk loading up TS when i heard a guildie on TS saying WTF. When i put GW up again i was sitting in the middle of a bunch of Mursaat and the chase began

I think it has something to do with GW:EN and Mursaats, think I read something about it in GWO forums.

This is the part I'm most interested in.

A few tournaments ago, one of the prizes was an unlock code. The code let you unlock 1 rune, 1 armor and 1 elite or something like that. I won 4 codes as prizes from placing in the top x (w/e we were that season) and wanted to use them. The codes worked fine, but since I couldn't spend them because I was UAX, it tells me I have free unlocks every time I change zones. I barely notice it anymore because it has been doing it for months, but that is why.

Once GWEN comes out, I will finally get to use them.

I think it's pretty amazing that devs reacted to a community's rather spontaneous event. And it's equally amazing that people here already found something to complain about it :S

I can't believe the Devs responded to the community like that. It was a lot of fun and an opportunity to see lots of familiar faces.

That was cool. Mursaat raiding a town? I wish there was someway we could defend ourselves. It would have been a nice prelude to GW2

Was actually funny watching the reactions of survivors in local

After actually looking at the OPs pictures i realised my character is selected on the second one

(which seems to be after i claimed my level 1 Bone Dragon would sort them out)

Was great that Anet went along like this.

Wait, so instead of working on the multitude of things that players have been asking for for MONTHS, they do this? Wow...nice one Anet. Nice to see that a few carebears on GWO are more important than everyone else's actual suggestions/ideas.

Way to be a jackass about something anet did to have some fun. Get over it! Stop whining about it, personally I think it's pretty cool that anet will do fun little things like these.
