lol) - it would be nice to have evrthing back in proper order *crosses fingers*

Hey Gaile can you tell us anything about factions while we wait?

Any screens of the new ranger armor?

Can you tell us what new pets are coming?

I vote yes.

So I'm not the only one that can't banish that from his mind?

I did enjoy furiously clicking to buy obsidian shards for 30min, but i think anet resetting the game is great, i was dreading the aftermath and if the reset had not gone ahead i would of cancelled my pre order of GWF and got hold of WoW, i dont think i could stand a game full of rich noobs.

BTW, Gaile, i noticed you had a lvl20 Ele in lions arch not long ago (stormy weather), it had no secondary profession, how did you manage that?

I think little attention has been paid to those people who are running their backsides off making the world of Tyria come back to life.

I'm sure all levels of the company have their "hot spots" and more than a few cross words at a monitor screen have been uttered. Theres probably more to come ....

But spare a thought for what happens when YOU (users) get YOUR fix back ..

So a large beer to those of you that will need one at ANet ...

BTW

Rat on a stick .... to you ... bargain ...20g ....

All the best

Hear hear. If I'm ever close enough to ANet, I'm going to right 'em off a check they can cash for a self-congratulatory party.
And yes, any ANet staff can screencap that and use it against me for proof.

I'd like to think it's the chat and dreaming of Gaile that did it. Happy thoughts overcome all.

Glad to hear it's back up, though... gives me drive to finish it to play tomorrow. I pray no ANet employees were harmed in the making of this rollback. >_<

She's still viewing the thread, according to the little reader down there.
My rank has gone up twice in the course of this one thread, if I'm not mistaken.
I wonder, though- will this thread be closed, since the recent issues are resolved? If not, it's liable to degenerate into a 'omg this shouldn't have happened i want my fow armor back' fest, once the people with the right opinion leave.
Edit: Scratch that. Sorry, trying desperately to avoid spam. >_<
Does talk of the thread itself count as off-topic?

Shh, no spam, we'll get in trouble!

I'm glad they actually got it UP before 2 am (eastern time). Now I'm waiting for friends to log on... any friends... lol
