Wait... you posted this under the impression that you actually believed it? Despite all the obvious signs(April 1st, 2007; a-nets homepage being wiki'd to april fools, etc)?

Thats not something I'd want to admit...

Players of Guild Wars and Future Players of Guild Wars Factions, I would like to announce my installment as the first and ONLY player who will act as an in game moderator.

A.Net realized the need for "balence" in all thing Guild Wars, therefore I will not be invincible.

While having instant silencing and banning powers in town, and the ability to summon a group of monsters to kill you all every hour, In PvP you will have a chance for revenge!

While being restricted to only two professions like all players, I will have 50,000 hit points, 25,000 energy, and 1000 Armor. Spells and skills will cost 1/2, and cast/recharge twice as fast. Hexes times will be reduced by 80% for me, and conditions by 90%. My Ressurection Signet is now multi-use, and recharges instantly. I never suffer from exhaustion, even from spells/skills that cause it, and my weapons gain a permanint 200% damage boost, without negative effect. Finally I gain +4 Health regen and +8 Energy regen.

Every time I am defeated, you automantically gain 50 fame, and 50k to you inventory!

I promise to be a fair and just administrator, worthy of my rank and title. When I feel like it.

I just got back from logging into Lion's Arch. The NPC was buying steel for 700gold each, and everything else as risen just as much. Ecktos were back to 12k or 13k! What happened? Was there another glitch? Did everyone just stop selling stuff? Is this a fix of mediocre prices? Is there and update, info? I need ANSWERS!

P.S. I made a cool 237k from my stockpiled stuff.



P.P.S. People are making huge fortunes!



EDIT 1: Oh god, over selling, the market on everything is collapsing.

EDIT 2: Prices are still in freefall, steel is back down, all the way to 80 gold each.

EDIT 3: People are buying again, Gaile is in ID 1 disscussing this.

EDIT 4: Gaile says there has to be another roll back, crud and I really needed the money. People are protesting in LA and Henge, I hope to post screenies soon.























Edit 5: April Fools!

Not so, since hexes only last for 20% waestrels will deal its damage almost instantly. Throw in energy managment and you can waestrel all day. If you want overkill, get a Battery Necro to BiP you while you run Waestrels with Mantra of Recovery, can you say GG yet?

Wow... thats like 60+ damage every .5 seconds O_o I think that beats his pips of regen :P

ToA fellers say it's fake. I'm inclined to believe them. Good hack if so.

@above: there are other ways to fake it.

NEWS FLASH! COIN SHIELD DROPS ON APRIL 1ST! WORLD IS STUNNED!!!

You got the person's IGN right there in the picture. Have them show you the shield themselves, THEN let's see your own screenshots of the trade window.

Until then, I'm waving the BS flag.

Congratulations, you guys figured that one out fast. Unfortunately there are plenty of others in other forums that haven't figured it out yet, so please don't give it away to them if they haven't found this thread on their own.

In other words, happy April Fool's Day.

(If I didn't want you to be able to figure it out I wouldn't have left clues like Tawne Ravenclaw, good job, you guys are a good e-detective team)

Edit: Oh yeah, Jesse (the original poster) was in on it, he's not a moron

I'd like to add in that Derek put the whole thing together in just a few minutes, he didn't have nearly the time as he did with the blue FDS or Terror Shield videos. Less time, and he still got people to buy in! Or at least be somewhat in doubt.
