Woo 75 tourny points. Thought I only got 50 (but was close to 75). Maybe I missed something when I was comparing...

However, if they play on an American server, then they fall under ANet's power-so if they break the EULA they can get smacked with the ban hammer.

However as to why they picked America's server I'm not sure-any other server would've done just fine-so long as it's not a Taiwanese server.

If you tell the support, they will tell you, that to see all the other bugs in that mission, please go to the official wiki.

All of those are there since the start of factions. But fixing Cynns armor was more important.

No reason for speculation - or conspiracy theories!

Quote:

Because of recent changes to Taiwanese law that restrict our ability to maintain a quality game experience for players and maintain the in-game economy, ArenaNet and NC Taiwan have agreed to close Guild Wars servers in Taiwan. In order to continue to provide service to NC Taiwan players, all Taiwanese accounts that were paid up and in good standing as of April 1, 2008 will be migrated to the North American servers on April 10, 2008.

That is why they closed the Taiwanese servers!

They brought them over the the US servers because they have bought the game! It

I also got 75 instead of the 50 I should've got. I checked afterwards, and I definitely got 25 too many. The month before, I was shorted 50, getting 75 instead of 125.

Taiwan players can once again play and trade with players from other territories.

And now the account buyers and in-game gold sellers are back.....surely a coincidence?

Taiwan will be the 51st state, as soon as the U.S.A. can make a deal with mainland China.

Ok, then how about "by design" having avatar skills be recharged at the end of a cutscene? I'm sure you could do it if you put your mind to it.

If you are running avatars in PvE (where there are cutscenes) you should be running that Luxon/Kurzick skill anyways.

fixed.

but yea the only reason that I can think of for the Taiwan region to be put on the American servers is to get around the perma-ban law in Taiwan.
