In the in-game report box the descriptions for verbal abuse and spamming were switched. So they un switched them.

Guessing that if you clicked verbal abuse, it would describe it as spamming and vise versa

I know that bobby disappeared close to midnight pst last night as I was playing in the costume thingy (had a winning streak going...never could get the 5th one!) and when it kicked us out I got dumped in Ascalon city!! (thought it would dump me in la or kamadan where I had started, not ascalon...very strange indeed)...the collectors were still there when I was on this morning though....guess they are gone now.

Much more interesting is this:

Quote:
There's been a lot of talk in the forums and elsewhere about the upcoming game update later this week. Linsey and the rest of the Live Team have been working extremely hard on this for weeks, often working long hours. To try and illustrate this, Linsey mentioned on the wiki that the update notes were going to be pretty long this week -- though the rumour mill incorrectly interpeted her words to mean that this would be the biggest game update ever. The Live Team is working flat out this week to prepare for the build. This week looks like it will be full of nights of long hours for our QA team, who need to comb through the game to check that every single detail works the way it should. Linsey herself was here working very hard over the weekend. Myself and other members of the Live Team just had a meeting a short while ago. The amount of testing work that needs to go into this build is pretty sizeable, and they're warning me that it's possible that they may delay the build. Obviously, delaying the build past its scheduled date of November 13 isn't something they want to do in ideal circumstances, but they also want to make sure that they don't miss any details. I'm just posting to let you know that there is a chance that the build may be delayed. I will try and keep you all updated here.

Well that is a relief. I thought they just wrote their ideas on post it notes, stuck them to a wall and threw darts and them.

Glad to see i'm not the only one working 13 hour days atm...

Yeah ... let's not.
It's not like the game will go from super duper crappy to super duper godly with that update. It will just stink a bit less.
No need to bring in possible additional problems because of that.

I'm continually puzzled by why some people keep playing a game they claim to hate instead of playing a game they love like, say, WoW. Or Habbo Hotel.

Because super duper crappy Guild Wars is still better than those things you mentioned.

Must be a truly epic update.

GW in it's core is a superb game, quite suiting my needs.
It's just that it needs a LOT of work these days.
And the problem is that back in the "good old times" GW did receive a lot of attention. And I was spoiled by that.
They set the bar so high - that their current efforts can't measure up.

It's not that other games out there are better then GW - it's the fact that the current GW isn't as good as it used to be.
When I am not playing GW - I am not playing anything else.

If yall haven't noticed, the past 2 updates had major bugs in them, last months update double the bounty in factions, last update changed EoC. Plus some NPC's have been randomly disappearing after some builds. I would not mind them being slightly delayed, meaning like friday or monday, as long as they do get the bugs fixed. If you want to see what release and patch latter philosophy gets you, go look at Hellgate: London.

I could have sworn Regina said these would be the longest game update notes ever - or is it just a small update content/changes-wise?

O well, better to have a good update without bugs than a crappy that has to be patched 5 times after

Wow, not a single QQ post wondering about their XTH points. I'm amazed.

Anyway, it'll come out when it comes out. It's a huge update so give them a little time to work on it.

Its an interesting marketing idea to keep people interested in the game. Keep dangling an update in front of us and see how long we'll chase it
