I noticed the other day in Serenity Temple there is something new to the temple, a very large Statue of Melandru, AND all the NPC's there are Lv. 20's.

I think they're up to something

Try kneeling to the statue when your region had the favor by chance?

EDIT: Wait... there is nothing new...

I don't know, I think there's always been a statue of Melandru there.
I'm sure there was one of Dwayna though.
Euro just had favor, and Melandru's Watcher and Dwayna's Avatar were there though.
Don't know if the NPCs were always lv 20 or not, but I don't think there's anything going on...

Nope, the Melandru Statue +Lv.20 folk stats (not the peoples them selves) are new to Serenity.

It could be they keep "Active" because it's a 'Temple' and that allows constant kneel and see the avatar sort of thing.

But I most certainly believe ANET is up to no good with the Temple

I'm pretty sure there has always been a Melandru's statue there. Unless you're talking about another one...

It's the Lv 20s that I don't remember from before. It certainly caught my eye when I was taking my new PvE monk through there.

Naw, I know that the Melandru was never there only because I used to love seeing the Dwayan statue all the time and was always wondering why this small statue was on this huge platform and never in the center of it. Just look at it, that Melandru Statue is massive compared to Dwayana.

But yes, the NPCS are now Lv.20 and it's rather preculary..

I've been to the Temple yesterday and failed to see something new. If there was anything new in Asacalon that scribe guy in the City have one new quest. *shrug*

Will check out the Temple again next time I log in but I doubt there's anything new.

I don't know...I'm 80% sure of my self that Melandru is new to the temple, because she (dwayna) was the only one there...

You have to kneel to bring Melandru up. He/She/undisclosed, doesn't just appear when your region has favor. You have to kneel.

Deja vu?

if it's something new, they better not hit Ice Tooth Caves next. I'm almost out of uninhabited places to hide!

Heheh,
Ice tooth cave International district 1 is Guild Wars Guru official Hangout zone.
I'm not kidding

It looks kind of small for any adjustments to be made... But then again, look what happened to the Granite Citadel. It used to be so calm and peaceful.

Meet me in guild Wars Icetooth cave, international district 1 to get something cool

Melandru's Statue has always been there, unless they updated this specific page today...

Maganna (blah cant spell) Slade is nice.

As for Melendru, I can say for absolutely certain that it has always have been there since I first visited the Temple last summer.

As for lvl 20 NPCs, I'm not sure about that.

Hmmm... just went there and I see the statue but the statue of Dwayna is broken and the Henchies are all lvl 6. I wonder if there is some kind of quest you need to finish to see this?

These are some of the screens I took this morning.

Notice that the leaves on Melandru are gone now and Dwayna's statue is broken.

Something is up

It's called, "your country doesn't have favor" syndrome.
It's when all the statues go down when your territory doesn't have favor.
It's common. In fact it happens at least once a day.

Oh noes! The statues are broken! O RLY?
When your country has favor, the statues will be up.

^inverse theorem at work. Math is key.

Once again, nothing new here.

I just went there and it took four seconds to load (rather than two). I could swear that I saw both Melandru and Dwayna statues when I went there as my first character at level 9, though. I don't get why they would change those NPCs to lvl 20s, but in my view it doesn't seem likely that something's happening there. Just a minor change for some small reason.

The statues have been there for EVER. And I mean forever. Like, they were there six months ago. They've always been there. Level 20 NPCs though, I must investigate...

Intriguing...Yes...even if we don't have favor, the statue pieces are still there and the leaves are just browned...hm...

Well the henchies are still level 6 for me, no matter what character I use. I thought maybe it had something to do if you get the Titan quests, but one of my characters doesn't even have those quests, and one does... still the henchies are level 6 for both characters.

gah...heres the deal...

The statue aint new, always been there.

I believe the SKILL TRAINERS arent new either, u see only the mesmer and elementalist trainers there are lv 20-helps show they are masters of their profession and can teach you new skills-

the storage, merchant, weapons, blah npcs are still their weak lv 10 selves
