 * Read answer above to your previous question about this same thing. Thank you. :-) -- [[File:User Ariyen sig icon.gif]] riyen ♥ 06:53, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, if you're trying to add him to your party, heroes (which is what M.O.X. is) don't physically follow you around town. Once you unlock a hero, you can press the Add Hero blue drop-down thingy in your party window to add them to your party.  -- Dragon Nataku  [[Image:User Dragon_nataku sig.gif|talk to me|18px]] 15:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * He's a scammer. Write to support, describe the situation and attach screenshots. You may or may not get your money back, but most likely not... Also, you can make your own guild. See the guild article. &mdash; User_Poki_sig.png Poki#3  (talk ) 23:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Fire Imp and Game of the year edition
I have the game of the year edition and when i type /bonus all i get are the weapons but no stone to get my fire imp. Please help. I have two lvl 20 characters but the character im trying to get the stone on is only lvl 11. Could that be the problem that i have lvl 20 characters? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.25.241.8 (talk).
 * Any character, including level 20 characters, can create an Igneous Summoning Stone, but only characters below level 20 can use it to summon a Fire Imp. Check to see if your account is actually eligible for the Igneous Summoning Stone at Igneous Summoning Stone and see the note at Guild Wars: Game of the Year Edition. --Silver Edge 07:00, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

i checked that stuff and as of my knowledge i have all the right requirements and when i go to the online store to see if i need to buy the upgrade it says that i have already purchased it so is there anything else i can do?
 * Have you tried using the /bonus on your level 11 character? -- [[File:User Ariyen sig icon.gif]] riyen ♥ 07:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

i think i figured it out and you explained the first time i bought it from a store and it didnt come with 2008 upgrade so thank for your help im getting the upgrade off the store now
 * Congrats, hope you'll get it. 72.148.31.114 08:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Dual-monitor setup
Is there a way to force a second monitor to remain active while GW is open? I can't seem to switch monitors while I have GW open, I have to alt-tab. –Jette 09:25, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you try switching GW to Windowed mode? &mdash; User_Poki_sig.png Poki#3  (talk ) 12:10, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Poki is right if you play GW maximized then it wont be active. Play in windowed mode. You can see everything just as well. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 12:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Vanquishing Zen Daijun (explorable area)
how come i cant vanquish Zen Daigun, i beat mish in hm, and my icon is gold, but i get no credit for it --76.20.109.64 20:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The mission icon (big helmet) is gold after completing Zen Daijun mission. To vanquish the Zen Daijun (explorable area), you have to enter that area from Seitung Harbor by talking to Guard Lae Fao. 76.164.111.57 20:35, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Stuck idems
Just recently I got whight dye but it is stuck in a tree and I have to leave it the but I want it so much. I dont know what to do? I need help. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.76.135.222 (talk).
 * Not much you can do. If it's a mission, if you complete it fast enough, any items still assigned to you will be offered upon your next entrance to an outpost. If it's an explorable area, make sure you're trying every possible avenue of approach. Otherwise, just forget about your bad luck and next time, try waiting until the monsters climb out of the tree before killing them. -- FreedomBound [[Image:User_Freedom_Bound_Sig.png|19px]] 18:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * After a mission, usually the items you don't pick up are accessable through a pop up box when you reach the next outpost depending on how much time has passed between the drop and the completion of the area.-- *Yasmin Parvaneh* [[Image:User_yasmin_parvaneh_sig.png]] 18:28, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You can contact if you remember the exact time this happened and they can look at the logs and see if there is anything they can do. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 18:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Mac compatibility
Can GW be run on a Mac? I have just purchased one, and am wondering if I should free up the space on my old computer or not. Thanks! Taka Ragranok 00:07, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the game box, you need Windows. But that is normally just a recommendation. Try it and find out. You can always remove it later if you want. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|My Talk]] Lacky 12:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, Taka. I found two links that might be of interest to you. this one and this one. -- [[File:User Ariyen sig icon.gif]] riyen ♥ 12:50, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Rylen. To lucky, don't you need windows to read the installation disc? Taka Ragranok 18:14, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been trying to use the links you gave...however, whenever I log in, my download doesn't show any progress, even after 24 MB of data...whats going on?I've even used the factions disc to try to help, but it doesn't seem like it did anything. Or I'm just doin it wrong. Taka Ragranok 03:36, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd probably ask those in the talk page of that second link that seems to use it. -- [[File:User Ariyen sig icon.gif]] riyen ♥ 08:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Reserving GW2 Names
Supposedly, you can use The Hall Of Monuments to reserve a name for a character in GW2, how do I do that?--Apocalipstick 23:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I know ANet said all your current names are automatically reserved for GW2. Someone might stop by and say I'm wrong though. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 01:43, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Per the faq, all names should be reserved automatically.. &mdash; PmaN  01:48, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Updating the game
hello, I was wondering if the game updates every year does the game change it's difficulty? Or every time the game is updated does the missions, farming or quests get more difficult? Please reply to this. Thank you 99.252.163.223 15:33, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The game updates almost every month, but those updates are generaly minor fixes for bugs or minor changes for some skills. The dificulty is rarely affected by those updates.--SharkinuUser Sharkinu sig.png 15:46, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * When they make changes to skill functionality it can have the affect of making things seem more difficult since they work differently, but those updates haven't happened often. -- Wyn [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon2.png|19px ]] talk  16:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

600 Monking
Hi, I was wondering how to make a 600 Monk... I want to know the weapon, the armor to bring you up to 600 hp. Thank you 99.252.163.223 15:49, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * See 600. Starter armor (if possible) or 15 AL armor. Also, you must have the skills and . You'll probably need the skills, , , , , different 600 builds need different skills. &rarr; balistic  &larr; 15:52, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

qwerty/azerty configuration
Hi, today GW suddenly decided to recognize my keyboard as a qwerty one, while it has always been an azerty O__O I don't remember hitting any special key that would have changed that, but I know it's not the keyboard because outside GW it still works as an azerty^^ Anyone as a suggestion on how to revert that ? I can't use the chat like this XD Thanks you in advance. 213.166.213.254 16:52, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ooo give me a min I had this same problem and cant remember what I did. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 16:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok so the same shortcut to change your keyboard layout is Ctrl+Shift+Space which is also the same to call a target. You can either change how you call targets or change your windows shortcut. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 16:57, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, thank you, I'd never have figured that O__O Guess I'll stop spamming target calls XD 213.166.213.254 08:30, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You dont have to do that I have mine fixed where all I have to do is hold Ctrl and Double-Click or hit Shift to call. [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 08:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Nightfall Problem
So I have a problem. I bought Nightfall and regestered my account. Although I have not played it for not some time now, I have lost the disk. Since then I have bought a new computer. So I went online to download the client. When it was finished I signed into my account, but it is brought up as the original Guild Wars and not Nightfall. So when I tried playing it is wanting me to create a whole new character from the original game. In that case it has not let me access my character from Nightfall. But I could not find a client just for Nightfall itself. How do I get back my original settings and character?
 * The client is the same for all games and if I'm not mistaken all campaigns show up weither you purchased them or not. I know they used to not sure if that changed. Contact . [[Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png]] Drogo Boffin 02:51, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Viewing completed quests/Missions...
Is there any way to view which Quests/Missions each of my characters have completed? With multiple characters in four different worlds it is hard to remember who has done what. --Greggpatz 18:17, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Battle Isle
How can a newer character only in Ascalon get to the battle Isles for a purchased newer pet? My Character HAS just bought a guild hall but has not put anything in in yet... --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:T l nick (talk).
 * You should be able to travel to your Guild Hall and then GToB/Zaishen Menagerie. According to the Battle Isles article, you have to reach a port that will let you go there. Since you have Prophecies, you need to get to Lion's Arch before you can get to the Battle Isles. Sometimes you also have to complete a quest as well to get there. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|My Talk]] Lacky 03:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
