Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that I'm still alive over here. With the holidays in full swing, I've been completely up to my behind with all kinds of Guild Wars stuff. We've got lots of promotions, newsletters, web projects, future planning, etc in the pipe right now, so I'm finding it difficult to be as on top of my talk page as I'd like. I also went through a several week bout of sickness that had me throwing up my arms saying "Oh come on!". No joke...cold followed by kidney infection followed by me completely throwing out my back. Literally back-to-back in the middle of everything. Eesh. Holidays.

Anyways, I will be responding to my page as soon as I get a bit of breathing room. In the meantime, here are some things that you guys may be interested in:


 * We're looking at doing a wiki upgrade to 1.13 in the very near future. This particular jump from 1.12 was a big pain, and required the team to manually change more stuff than usual. Because of this, we're testing it like crazy before we roll out the changes to try to prevent catastrophes. I'll let you guys know when I get an actual date and time for the maintenance. The good news is that this upgrade will fix a LOT of the random software issues you're seeing on occasion, plus more fun stuff. Yay!


 * We are diligently working on getting a response to you guys on the big question asked a while back (the one about suggestion pages, etc). Like I mentioned before, there are a lot of people involved in this topic, and with the holidays it's been really hard to pin answers down. I feel really bad for not rounding up responses earlier, but I promise that it's not a dead or forgotten subject :)


 * If you guys want me to, I can swap out the GWW logo for a holiday one to fit with whatever plans you all have for the main page. (I'm assuming that this is why Shadowphoenix wanted the gingerbread shield render, so I'm going to get that over to her by the end of the night.) When the graphic is done and agreed upon, just fire me a message on my talk page and link me to whatever you'd like me to put up and I can get that done for ya :)

OK, I'm going to finish up some stuff. I just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you all know why I've been missing a lot lately!
