Due to a server error, Guild Wars experienced an unintentional reset of the traders. For nearly an hour, traders were selling items at unrealistically low prices. Due to the harmful impact that such an event would cause to the game economy, we are rolling back the entire state of the game to shortly before the problem began, that is, to 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 21:00 GMT.
there ya go folks
[Merged] March 13 Update: Roll back to 1 PM Pacific, 21 GMT, officially announced

This is not happening. I just got a 15^50 fellblade, req 8, and they are rolling back. They can't do this.

And even if it is and they will do it there will be two points 1st good that economics was not harmed at overal but 2d from players who will suffer from this rollback, some got some good drops on that time, some sold smg at price they wanted to sell it, some bought smg at good price, some did a hard mission or finished hard skill capture, so it will cause a great wave of unpleased people.  I think ANet will have to do something about it like new cristmass or heloween or like free functions to all  |
By the way the last price reset was done to globalize the GW economy and traders, it was intentional and cannot be used as a defense for keeping this reset.

Friend of mine bought 1000 shards, 900 sapphires, 600 rubies and 20 superior absorptions.
Shame about the rollback ^_^

anyways, i wonder what they will do. a very possible scenario could be that they simply do a roll back.

I'm glad GW is reverting the the madness that happened today. A few guildies and I worked really hard to afford the superior absorbtion runes we have and i wouldnt be to happy if joe blow who just got out of presear gets one for 250gold.
the only thing im worried about in the rollback is the 15^50 fellblade me and a friend of mine found today. i cant remeber what time we got it

Just bewfore it went down I had made a kick ass new ranger build that was pwning up noobs in the arena. Now I can't remember the skills and atts!!! IM doomed!!!

Roll back. Well that kinda sucks. Couldn't go all out and get tons of stuff like some people did as I'm at work, but I was able to acquire enough stuff that would put me a nice enough position for my tastes.
Oh well, either way it wasn't going to be fair in all truth. Just like it wasn't really 'fair' that I (among many many others) missed the "legit" price reset that turned many people into over night rich kids as well. I'll bet none of them are complaining anyway.
Don't need a million plat, its a waste anyway. But I sure woulda loved to keep the runes that I otherwise will never see. Figures.

I'm glad for the rollback to just before it happened and not a 24 hour rollback since I just got a 15%^50 eternal bow last night.

awesome
I love the fact they rolled back because i worked for my wealth. Doing quests is easy. I just feel sorry for anyone that got a good gold item ligit.

No! They can't roll back. This is the first time I've ever gotten rich, and it was legitimate! Why are they doing this? This is not happening. I just got a 15^50 fellblade, req 8, and they are rolling back. They can't do this.

It seems all the hard work done to completing missions and finding your rare item, capping skills or pets (spider capping last night) outweighs the heavy nature of this 'trader reset' problem which will pose an issue with the GW economy. Either way, ANET is going to lose out on this one.

Does the reset cover Fame points?

It is a very sharp double-edged sword. People said they would be extremely angry if they didn't roll back, and now some people are getting screwed and are angry (for nonmonetary reason's of course) now that a roll-back has taken place. If would be interesting if ANET could only roll back the economic portion of the game, and say left the gold drops, exp, and missions completed untouched. Or do a full rollback, then individually restore gold drops, exp and missions from the supposed transaction log that is kept. How many people where on at the time, a couple thousand? Individual attention over say a week is not unreasonable.

better a handful of pissed off people who did/got something in those 2hrs than an entire community up in arms because their months of farming just got negated by someone lucky enough to be logged in at the right time

My friend IRL called my cell and told me about it. I was watching T.V at the time, so I didn't hear my phone ring, but he did tell me about what had happened. I knew they were going to be rolling back so thats why I wasn't too pissed I missed it.
fog_of_redoubt
so wonder how long till servers are back up... could be a several hour job to role back and TEST to verify things are as they should be

The people that are whining and crying in this thread about economy and having people get something the "worked" months for is HILARIOUS. This is a GAME you guys realize that right?
If you weren't farming or running endless ToPK runs trying to get greens what else would you be doing? Probably not playing the game at all. So what is wring with a few people getting something for little or nothing? They just got lucky. I missed the first one, and I had millions of plat worth of stuff saved up. I wasn't crying then. The "economy" came back and even surpassed where it was. Ectos went from 8K to upwards of 16K, and that was WITH the influx of the new 55 builds creaming UW for hours on end.
The more people know the more the worry about stuff they have no control over. People see soemone getting something and they flip out. Who cares? It is a game. AHving money doesn't make it better.
You now see it al the time, peope get run all over the place, then they don't know what to do, where to go, or how to even play the game (outside of PvP). I don't think it is a coincidence that America can't hold favor now for more than a few hours a week. When the game first came out and people actually PLAYED it rather than sprinting through it, USA held favor for all but a couple hours a week.
Quick and easy isn't alwasy the answer, but for the ones that do it, they have to accept the consequences. All thouse guys that got loaded up with stuff today will get everything they want, and then what? Probaly not play again until they get the new edition. Then it starts all over again. Worrying about what new armor they don't have, or the new chi chi weapon that people have.
Be happy with what you have. It has been discussed ad nauseum on here about how very little weaponry actually has to do with damage. And if it does, then go buy a green for an amount that 2 hours of gameplay can buy.
But seeing people piss and moan about it is just too funny. It isn't like Arco started selling gas for 5 cents a gallon and people filled everything including the kitchen sink with fuel. It is a frigging game, get over it.

If they can do mass server rollbacks then why not account rollbacks? I have a few friends that have deleted charactors because of lag, then to contact CS to find they can't roll them back...
devils wraths
from this roll back do u think they could keep the 60 fame i earned
Fates
How do you delete a character due to lag? To delete a character, you have to click on the toon, click on delete, type the characters name and then click on enter, and are then asked basically "are you sure?" How does lag cause this?
hideto
i didnt missed the first market crash back in august. So anyways, i agree a roll back is good. I bought about 500 shards when the problem occured n countless runes. Not complainin on a rollback.

You can't role back things that are/were on the consumer's side, in this case the characters. However you can roll back things that are based on consumer - server interactions, in other words anything you do IN the game. Prior to entering the game with a specific character you are running off your own computer and what it has loaded on it so deleting a character has nothing to do with ANet and the server.
