Peace out, Gaile! Goodluck with your new position! I hope you'll still be around the forums, though. Or else we'd all miss you! :P But now maybe with your hours cut back, you can work on getting us some younglings to be future GW players?

I will definitely remain a member here at Guru, and I am looking forward to getting my teeth into a bunch of nifty and helpful projects that will benefit the whole community.

Really? That means more posts for me to search for then!

Do you guys have any idea who'll be the new CR manager yet? I'd like him/her to introduce himself in a thread, partly because we'll have an idea of the background and partly so I can quickly bookmark his/her account. And not in the least so I can introduce myself as his/her private stalker.


Anyway, seeing as this is not an april 1st joke... Good luck with your new job! I hope you enjoy it.

If people are just reading the announcement page or the announcement at the log-in screen, it reads as if Gaile's leaving ArenaNet entirely, but that's not the case, at least according to the summary blurb on the homepage.

After five years as our dedicated Guild Wars community manager, Gaile Gray has decided to assume a new role at ArenaNet.
Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but that's what it's seemed like to me when read without the bit in quotes >.>

I'd say she is 'leaving' her current position....and that is it.
She has a spiffffffy new title and such---but the other thread says she is staying with anet----

Yeah, she is just leaving her current position, but if you start out just reading the actual page for it/in-game announcement it seems like she's leaving ANet as well.

Yep.. She's still with Anet. She's just not coming online anymore to talk with people and give information etc or tell us about coming updates or to answer questions..
Someone else is going to do that. Unless i read it wrong..

But im sure she will come online sometimes to talk with us

Yes, some people are idiots and think she's quitting ANet.

Though in her new position she won't be popping in and filling us in on future GW info, though she may still appear from time to time (like Izzy and Andrew Patrick).

So this wasn't a gag after all? Fancy making a major announcement like that on All Fool's Eve...

That explains why Gaile's been popping up in Tech Corner and Bugs, then ^^

Good luck with it, and enjoy the breakaway from spam

A bit late for this thread but:

Thank you for your hard work, your love of the game, the great help you been as a go between the players and anet, the think skin needed to take all the heat from the players at times with all the crazy stuff and inane requests

And a very well earned congratulation's on your promotion and growth in Anet.

Bye Gaile, I may have not known you much, but still, fair well.


Heres a good-bye poem.

"Gaile, Gaile, goodbye Gaile.
You help us in the night, save us in the light,
you make it better, and we'll keep you forever,
we'll remember you, forever too,
I can't say more, then what i've said before,
Goodbye Gaile, before I start to wail."

Another, because im in a sad mood

"You make us happy, you live in the light,
you save us from the evil, you deliver might,
you retired from your thrown, and now you have flown,
don't ignore us, don't listen to our plees,
we all know whats best, and lets leave you to be."

So is the farewell party starting on Friday at noon or Saturday at noon. Because the login screen says Saturday for me, but here it says Friday. And i know how Anet usually does weekend events starting Fridays.

My opinion of Gaile is influenced on nothing else other then the way she conducted her meetings with the gaming community of GW. One word to sum her up was... nice, too nice as a matter of fact. Now I understand it's a PR's job to not say yes or no basically, but I'd rather just see yes/no under ever question on those giant screen shotted spreadsheets instead of a few sentences of bull crap. I mean how many ways can you say "it has not yet been decided", "there is no info at this time", "we have something special in the works". To be honest, the whole little fan fare surrounding her eerily reminded me of a few individuals back from the WoW forums. I mean considering how many times I've seen attempts at seperating GW from WoW on here, one would think that the community itself would try to change as well. But of course the people flocking around Gaile saying crap like, "Gaile>Chuck Norris gtfo nub" are usually the same people who thought GW:EN was a good addition to GW.
