That Xunlai Market thing sounds beyond awesome!
Now the question is if it's something that's in the works or it's just a leftover from an unfinished project?
One thing can help us get the answer: someone mentioned that it's name changed, now when the change was observed? If recently there is hope!

I would have said it was a failed test from days gone by and leftover code, but from the sounds of things, it appears the name change was recent

Antitorgo, the same person who found the Miniature Polar Bear in the Dat before Wintersday had mentioned in the thread about the Polar Bear over on GWO (i think the thread was called "New Mini?") that the "Marketplace" string was constantly changing (along those lines as i cant remember what he exactly said). And now its been renamed. If it was leftover they surely wouldnt be changing it.

Earth appears to have left a note on Gailes talk page so no doubt it will ether be avoided, confirmed (as in what it is, not if its going to be in game) or denied.

1. Loading screen for The Tengu Accords mission in BMP. Many of the loading screen artworks are made stretched like that, then are "squished" to your screen size when it's actually used.

2. Taiwan GW logo.

I'm surprised at how much of this stuff isn't new, it's all things that most people don't recognize.
Seriously what did you expect. There is probably less than 1% in that dat file we dont know off.

I mean it isnt like we are digging through a dat file for gw2 or something, this is the game we all currently play, we all of us are looking for that one little nugget of gold in the massive ocean of currently known data

First, Gaile will deny any rumors of said Xunlai Market, then someone will get to it; but you will find out that you can only get to it .00001% of the time, and then only 12 days of the year.

The name has changed. I modified GWDatBrowser to find and dump all strings to a text file. Whenever a new build comes out I run it and archive the string dump file. Between the Dec 7th update and the Dec 11th update, the Xunlai Market strings were added. Previously it was just listed as "Marketplace" with other strings around it with what looked like different categories of items to search on. Ex: Swords, Upgrades, Weapons, Imperfect etc.

The new strings are as above with text like:
Are you sure you want to unlist your %str1% from the Xunlai Market?<p>The listing cost will not be refunded.

Reading into it a little bit. It would appear to not be an auctionhouse, but more of a place to sell your goods at a fixed price thus the statement of "No Auctionhouses" would still hold.

Guessing: I'm going to guess based on what is contained in the strings surrounding the Xunlai Market stuff is that there will be a search window similar to party search. You can't list customized items, you can't use/drop items that are listed in the Market. I imagine that selling would immediately deposit in your Xunlai chest and deduct from same for the buyer.

As to why it isn't implemented in-game yet? I'm going to guess that most of the work is done and they are testing/looking for exploits to fix.

So basically, it sounds like stalls (terminology from other games)? Still an improvement.

And an "imperfects" category. Nice. We can find cheap 14^50 +29 fortitude for our heroes more easily now.

So thanks to Antitorgo, we have some new info, the Xunlei Market, 3 possible quest string type things. What else have we seen? I am still just strolling through the images, how are you able to make it dump the txt strings?

I dont recognize this sword. Makes me think of a standard broadsword but with a fiery something on it.

This isn't as interesting as what others of found, marketplace sounds cool. But yeah i don't have a clue what these pictures are, a pre-evil abbadon perhaps? And some gods of sorts? Some cool looking artwork whatever it is.

For those hoping to find the r15 emote:


These are the edge of the emotes, so the center is a different file. Anything you see with this color could be the center of the emote.

Well, Anet has stated they're not adding the r15 emote in until someone has it, just so to make sure noone finds it when people are doing, well, this

Fewlero's second picture is in the original prophecies instruction book. It is a picture of the human king who was first offered magic into the world talking to the gods.

Is there anyway to run gwdatbrowser on a machine that doesn't have GW installed on it?

I have moved my gw.dat file, and gwdatbrowser to a machine that doesnt have GW just to be safe. Even in the same directory and passing gw.dat as an argument it doesn't pick it up.

The sms, Ntouka & odd text descriptions are about the only thing we haven't seen before, people just aren't picking up on it. Look how long it took people to recognize the Halloween clouds.

True. I guess it's just kinda silly to see people get all speculative over things like the Kurzick stained glass & the Siege Devourer... They are pretty obvious..

Well, in this case it says:

"This is the texture for the maps of Tyria you've seen all over Ascalon"
"This is the texture for the afflicted"
"This is the texture for the Avatar of Grenth"
