Update: Guild Wars has posted this on their Twitter page! =D http://twitter.com/guildwars/status/4328679872
I decided to travel down to Gunnar's hold to see if I could make some money by running to Rata Sum, but instead I came across a town filled with Sinister G.O.L.E.M.s. I was taken aback and felt left out of the loop, but a player named Mika Shikyo was handing them out for free so that he could try to turn the whole town into Sinister G.O.L.E.M.s. After making a couple mundane formations, circles, hearts, rows, the group began circling the town in a "conga line." I was getting somewhat bored so I suggested that we all try to form a giant "GW" spelled out in G.O.L.E.M.s . Originally this seemed like an awesome idea, but seeing as it was virtually impossible to have any sort of coordination between these 50 or so people with only text chat, the task seemed out of reach. Eventually after minutes of yelling and running around we came up what looks like to be a nice "GW" to honor our friends who created the game. Oh, P.S. my in-game name for GW is Zayden Of Cantha.
Video Creator - Darkstar
"Attempted" Formation Coordinator - Zayden Of Cantha (me, Darkstar)
Tonic Supplier - Mika Shikyo
Total People Participated - 50 random people
Detailed credits for the people involved are in the video. If you see your name spelled wrong, my bad.
Giant G.O.L.E.M. "GW" Formation, OMG AWESOME

It wasnt a guild thing it was just 1 random person starting the event?

Even though this required more coordination, I'd say the time they filled up the stairs in Shing Jea with Golems was cooler.

VERY awesome! I wish I could be part of these things but I don't sign on that often anymore. Maybe you should add a 2 at the end if there is a next time XD.

That is cool. I must say I am shocked at the participation for that. I'd half expect people to be running around instead of even paying attention to what you said. Kudos to everyone there!

"HAY GUYZ IM MAKING A VIDEO, GW WILL SEE THIS!"
All that aside though, I'm really shocked that they actually were able to make one. The circle you guys kept making in the beginning made me lol though. Surprised at how clean the lettering is on the screen shot without your "random people" mashed in the middle. At least the golems stand out from everything else.

I do this kind of thing fairly often, it is definatly hard to arrange many players into something.
Good Job !
Ahh I remember at April Fools making a giant stickman out of stickpeople..good times..good times..

Great job. Kudos to all involved.

I once did a similar thing in GTOB as grenths. Same thing happened, it was not organized. So the fact that you did this doesn't surprise me.

We did the same thing for our two year guild celebration in Kamadan.
These parties rock.

LMAO that is quite possibly the best GW video I've seen. Love the music of choice when the group starts forming the letters. Great stuff!
