You do realize that the amount of gold players have is what gives rare anything their price. Give players more gold and the price of said items rises along with it.

It's like money, when you just go mint a bunch of it, you don't get more people with more stuff, you get inflation.

Just add more gold sinks to compensate.

GW inflation is not a bad thing. The cost of things from merchants doesn't fluctuate much with the amount of gold being put into the game. The inflation of minipets is an effect of the Zkey flood, but that doesnt put more money in the game, just more tradeable goods for leetest. So in turn leetest Overprice there items of value to compensate for the influx of zkeys.

Guys, I just heard leaks from a friend who works at ANET!!

They're reverting Ursan and planning skill quests for each profession.
For the Warrior, they're planning a skill called "BAMPH!".
According to sources, "BAMPH!" is a pve only skill that provides you with a boost in hp and mana regen, whilst dealing damage at the same time. It also has a chance to make your e-pen0r longer by 20%!

I also have a friend who works for Anet who said that they plan on making everyone into monkeys because human characters is soooo traditional mmorpg.

Well, you can get max armour as soon as you zone into kamadan:
"LF Ferry to Consulate Docks!"

Anyway, I had my hopes up for the big update today but I see now we'll have to wait 1, 2 or maybe 3 weeks. Shame really.

Although, to be honest I got all excited this time last month cus I got the month wrong!

Translation: Every monthly update so far this year has failed in this respect. There will be no destroyer or Gwen tonics. Regina told us about Gwen and Linsey did about the destroyer.

I think the first part says: All the monthly tonics have been in the .dat file for all year round.

So it's no use scouring the .dat for the new tonic?

Or faile is just a mispronunciation of Gaile... but that doesn't make any sense.

As has been posted before in this very thread: the big arpil update is due april, and april has 30 days.
The first update will be the monthly skill balance / Xunlai reward update, which will in all probabilty be on thurday the 9th.
Then that leaves the 16th, the 23rd and the 30th for "regular" update days, as those are usually on thursdays, but with this big one, you can never know for sure.
I'm putting my money on the update not coming before the 23rd, so basically the last week of april.

Somewhere during the last week of April. When Anet says April they mean "When it's not May yet".

yeah but the updates, the new way they are being done, every 3-4 months means it should be earlier, because if its at thev very end of april it will pretty much be 5 months. and my understanding is that they want to squeeze in 4 major updates a year at least, and if its practiclly may by the time of the first one of the year it gives them a shorter amount of time for the other updates. which wouldn't make much sense.

I expect something vaguely similar to what they said they'd do.

And it to come no sooner than the third Thursday of the month.

Please, please, please, please, please...

Storage is limited, but I can live with the current limitations. A few more spaces in personal and chest would be nice.

Ursan was fun, and I enjoyed actually spending time in DoA...

but please, please, PLEASE!:

When I press [p] for party search, please could we have seperate lists for WTB and WTS , so we don't have to spend time trawling through the list to find what we want?

It's a fairly easy, and straightforward thing to do, isn't it?

You could even give them different colors?

Anyway, Peace on Tyria, Cantha and Elona, and Goodwill to all players would be a nice update too

I get a 4 day break this weekend with our Easter holidays! Hopefully the Guild Wars April Update will be out before this!

Also, I forget, but are there any special events during the Easter Holidays? Is there some dragon festival going on or something?

Guild wars was released in the UK April 28th 2005

Therefore..

Big update will be around 24th/25th April (Friday/Saturday) Since most updates come around the weekend.

Yeah because Anet and NcSoft are UK companies, just happen to have their headquarters in Washington State, USA. lol

It was released the same date in the US...so say, maybe you can just say "Guild wars was released April 28th" instead of implying that the UK release date has anything to do with anything.
