Question

Hi, can I please ask you a question about a post you made a while back on wiki. (http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Help:Ask_an_account_question#Acess_key_retrevial) How did you actually tie together your ncsoft and gw account? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.233.200.222 (talk).

When you go to add an upgrade, you're given a list of options for the game account to apply it to. If you don't have any linked when you do so, you're given the option to add a new one (button that says, "Link and select account"). I don't know of any way to add an existing account (not a new one, with a new serial code) without going through the motions. Note that I'm pretty sure you can link the account without going through with the purchase, since the linking of accounts is a sub-routine prior to the actual checkout process. Let me know if this works out for you. --Freedom Bound 18:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the option to add a new account is there even if you already have one, in case anyone else is curious if they can add a second (or third, etc.) account to an existing master account in this fashion. --Freedom Bound 18:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll go try that :) --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.233.200.222 (talk).

RV'ing Vandalism

To undo more than one edit, you need to go to the history of the page. Either diff all the intervening changes and undo, or just go to the last good version, hit edit, and save. --JonTheMon 14:25, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured that out after I wrote that note. Thanks. --Freedom Bound 14:26, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahh...

Didn't notice that ^^ - J.P.Talk 15:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Can youl tell me how??

Testing sig

-- FreedomBound 20:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

d, you have to take example from people with actually neat sigs, like me! :o ---Chaos- (talk) -- 13:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Mine works just fine, thanks! -- FreedomBound 13:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Seeing how helpful I was, I want more than just a "thanks!". What'cha doing tonight? We could consider alternative payment methods, since the cookies on this page are all rotten, eaten, and cliché ---Chaos- (talk) -- 13:41, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

needs more talk page link, none cares about contributions ---Chaos- (talk) -- 17:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

My sig image redirects to my talk page, being a question mark, I find it rather fitting. -- FreedomBound 17:21, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I figured it might, but my lazy surfing requires big links because I cbf aiming too much :o ---Chaos- (talk) -- 17:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I was just about to do that but found it had disappeared when I clicked edit and saw it had been removed already :p -- pling 19:21, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem. :) Fast, like lightning! -- FreedomBound 19:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

thanks for catchin that..

didn't notice that note was already on there. Thought the Ip was removing it >_> personn5 00:03, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

They were... Just happened to be the right thing to do that time. ;) -- FreedomBound 00:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Fast

It was at the top of my watchlist after Wynthyst unprotected it and I remembered it was missing the <noinclude> code when I viewed the page last night, so I went and added it. --Silver Edge 18:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

cleanup

thanks for the cleanup on zKey and scam article 192.203.160.241 19:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Thanks for contributing. -- FreedomBound 19:06, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Drops

Why does it say this? Crafting materials - yes, list common and rare crafting material drops (only list the ones that you yourself have actually seen, do not make assumptions and don't necessarily believe what the Prima Guide says); also add the corresponding categories from Category:Drops common crafting material and/or Category:Drops rare crafting material.. "Yes, list common and rare crafting material drops"?

So relist? since you made a mistake? ♥ Ariyen ♀ 16:55, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Check it again. You're talking about materials, I'm talking about weapons. Try reading a little further into the policy before you claim I'm making a mistake. -- FreedomBound 16:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Got confused. Sorry. I studied it abit more - questioning self. You're correct, but can we discuss that they drop this other 'common' stuff like say in *notes* section or in discussion? *confused* ♥ Ariyen ♀ 17:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

It really serves no purpose to say that, for example, they drop the Amber Wand, as pretty much anything in that area of Factions can drop it. That's why the policy is the way it is. -- FreedomBound 17:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Link

TY...it was drving me nuts....hate syntax----X 11:36, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

No problem, it's a common error, and has the added benefit of being easy to fix. -- FreedomBound 12:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I would like to know how one can solve such problems on there own rather than ask for help. Seems like most things are picked up rather than learnt----X 12:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Easiest thing to do is make mistakes, then watch and see how someone fixes them. Or, stalk recent changes, see how other people make mistakes, and then watch how other people fix them. -- FreedomBound 12:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Yah I hate being a RC fag----X 12:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

I would hope that the current one is right and that ArenaNet employees aren't bad enough to make references to things that themselves are references, but you can't put it past them. Mr J 16:32, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you ^^ ~ Dragon 18:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) 72.148.31.114 19:34, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

LOL. You really shouldn't avoid bans, Ariyen. That tends to get the sysops riled up and handing out extensions. But, you're welcome. :P -- FreedomBound 19:37, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Dont edit my talk please

That text was therte for a reason, i made a large edit, and wanted people too have a comparison and an easily accessible listn so they could change it back.

edit: Reaper94 00:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

You should really learn how a wiki works. See the history tab at the top of this page, or any page, for a quick view of how a page's changes can be tracked, including highlighting the differences, and quick reverting (if necessary). -- FreedomBound 00:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

nice

catch. --neyira = ? 19:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I was actually in the process of moving that page when you did so, so I figured I'd help out in another way instead. -- FreedomBound 19:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

GW2 Page

I fixed the References error. Drogo Boffin 15:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but you should let Gordon know. I just didn't have time to figure it out at that moment, but didn't want to leave a big red error message at the bottom of the page. -- FreedomBound 15:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Ill leave him a message now. Drogo Boffin 15:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Weekend of 11 December: Trash Talk Bonus

Here's the memo you missed:

"<official memo> This weekend, anonymous posters will receive twice as much love for talking trash on wiki discussion pages as they normally receive for posting on an appropriate forum site. (Receive quadruple love if you choose a talk page for an article that has absolutely nothing to do with your rant!) </official memo>"   — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:25, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I lol'd at work. Thanks! -- FreedomBound 18:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

[1] Yes, yes it did :< Can you please revert it? :> ---Chaos- (talk) -- 16:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

=\

Thank you. That note is too small. >< (but why are two neutral votes already up?) -- Wandering Traveler 19:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

They were placed there before Poke's message, and he didn't remove them, so neither did I. There's a discussion on the talk page there, and one semi-related on Auron's talk page. -- FreedomBound 19:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks. -- Wandering Traveler 19:52, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Anytime. -- FreedomBound 19:56, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Wintersday

Have a happy and a merry!  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:02, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not doing it intentionally. I know I probably sign with three tildes far too often out of habit from PvX, but I rarely ever forget to sign. :< ··· Danny Pew Pew 18:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I know. It's still funny, though. We need a coffee template, like , so I can offer it to those that are in need. -- FreedomBound 18:55, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I suspect I'm lying to myself, but I think it might have to do with tabbing between various wikis and MSN. It's much more embarrassing to sign an IM than it is to forget to sign a wiki post. ··· Danny Pew Pew 19:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Try almost "signing" a work email. -- FreedomBound 19:08, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

question

HOW CAN I CHAT??? Can youl tell me how?? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:The Lone Ice Lion (talk).

By finding a chat room? This is a wiki for documenting the GW game. Chats can go to a fansite. -- FreedomBound 00:52, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I finally got it right.--The Lone Ice Lion 02:17, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Can i copy the ranger symbol off of your home page? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:The Lone Ice Lion (talk).

Getting there. :P. Sure, you can "copy" it, it's not actually mine, though. You might want to contact someone in the helpers program if you want assistance making a user page. As you can probably tell, I'm not too into that kind of thing (nor do I really know what I'm doing). -- FreedomBound 13:00, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Ha, that whole thing

...never even crossed my mind about SFW! I see why you asked now. Anyways this is what it looks like (imageshack since I will probably trash it after a day and easier than on here): http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1240/0024.png Previously Unsigned 19:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

minor edit by default

I always seem to forget to unclick minor edits when I do something more major :P. --Lania Elderfire 19:18, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I can see how you'd get that impression, but I honestly didn't even realize that you had marked it as a minor edit. I was just being a smart-ass. -- FreedomBound 19:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I always put minor edit as default, on any wiki where it's available. - J.P.Talk 19:24, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Varda

Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry at the time.

I just checked contribs, saw nothing, and figured it was someone who didn't know how to register. (They do exist, regardless of the link on every single page.)

Thanks for helping out. :) A F K When Needed 16:18, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

No problem. The account was registered a year ago, and had no contributions, so I can see how it would be confusing. The character names and such matched the registered username, though, so I think it was just someone that had created the account but just not logged in (for a long time). -- FreedomBound 17:08, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Deletion tags on game suggestions

It is not up to you or anyone other than the creator of the suggestion to request deletion of their page. If you feel the update has outdated their suggestion I recommend you open a discussion with them regarding it on the suggestion talk page. <edit> This was covered during the feedback namespace creation Guild_Wars_Wiki_talk:Feedback_organization/Archive_3#handling_outdated_suggestions. -- Wyn talk 07:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, the user who owns the suggestion can simply add | resolved = yes to the infobox to have it removed from the regular lists of suggestions. -- Wyn talk 08:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll look for it later, but I'm fairly certain it was said that the pages were just like any other on the wiki, i.e. that they could be tagged for deletion by anyone. I'm not going to go through and ask politely when half of those suggestions were by people that dropped it off and never came back, and likely never will. -- FreedomBound 11:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

No, those pages are more like User pages. They are not to be generally edited by anyone other than the "owner" nor should they be tagged for deletion by anyone else. -- Wyn talk 12:05, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

^

If we start tagging outdated pages, it's one short step to tagging downright stupid and/or duplicate suggestions. The point of the section was to let the users rant and get their ideas on paper, so ANet could sift through them at their leisure - the attempts to exert inordinate amounts of control on the suggestions were met with pretty fierce opposition. -Auron 13:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

"Slippery slope" isn't really a concern, since we could just add a deletion criteria specifically for skills that were recently updated. But, I don't really care, so I'm going to drop it. I'm not the one that has to wade through 80 suggestions that haven't the least bit of relevance after a skill update. @Wyn, I wasn't aware of the resolved switch, so thank you for that. Is it mentioned anywhere in the instructions? -- FreedomBound 16:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure at this point, but I don't believe so. It was something that was added. -- Wyn talk 19:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Character page

Hey, im sort of new to wiki and I really like the way the your charectar page looks. How can i make mine look like that? Yay Killing Charr 19:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

I stole it from someone else, but there's a helpers program here, they should be able to assist. -- FreedomBound 19:22, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit of guild page

You said you edited my guild page... was it the actuall guild page ([EOD]) or the one i requested to be deleated? --~~Lotus~~ 14:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

NVM. Figured it out on my own. Thankyou! --~~Lotus~~ 14:30, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Both, actually. :) The second one I didn't really see the point in telling you, since it was just a minor adjustment to your deletion tag. User pages qualify for a faster deletion, but the admins generally don't noticed unless you specify it. Anyway, you're welcome. -- FreedomBound 14:34, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

RfA

If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, but I'm curious as to why you so quickly declined when you obviously have the makings of an admin. — Gares 19:54, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

We obviously differ in our opinion in that regard. Thanks, though. -- FreedomBound 19:55, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Too funny

Never heard of that wiki before [2] :) -- Arduin 15:48, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Finding block circumvention

That IP freely confessed to circumventing a block but I couldn't figure out who. I thought user:myotheraccount, but I didn't look hard enough in the history I guess, and dismissed it and thought it has to be someone else. Nice job on figuring it out w/o checkuser! + why aren't you a sysop yet?? --Lania Elderfire 01:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

The edit-history of that page is telling, especially when he said someone removed his text with the reason of "Boom?" --Riddle 01:57, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I was just stalking recent changes when he added the section and Ezekial deleted it with the "Boom?" edit summary, so it stuck out when he later mentioned it. No special skills required. :) -- FreedomBound 01:59, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I guess I don't stalk RC enough ^^ --Lania Elderfire 02:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

It IS a requirement none-the-less!

Will youPLEASE stop brown-nosing J.P. and think for yourself for a change. The information belongs in 'BOTH places!!!! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:mtew (talk).

Trouble uploading a .gif

Thought I'd ask you, since you helped me out with my images before... I'm trying to upload a .gif anim for my guild cape picture (as it has a shiny silver logo on the back which I wanted to show off). But when I try and upload it - despite the fact that "gif" is one of the file types listed - It comes up with the message: "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." I tried several times, listing it as an original pic or a GW screenshot, even changing the filename on my hard drive to match the file I was replacing on the wiki (except, of course, for the .gif extension), to no avail. So what am I doing wrong...? I know people have put animated .gifs up before, so is there something else I need to add to the filename to allow it to animate or something? --Jack Blackserpent 12:55, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Simply changing the extension will not animate an image. One of the users on this wiki has created a guide to animations (for skills, but same principle). You can find that guide here. -- FreedomBound 13:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that I'd simply changed a .jpg suffix to a .gif suffix and expected it to leap about (would that it were that easy! lol)... I did have a proper 8-frame .gif set up, and the file extension was the only thing I didn't change, but since the file wasn't corrupt the only thing I could think to do was change the licencing settings etc thinking that might be what they were referring to as an "extension" (since the .gif format was listed specifically below the upload box as an acceptable file type). Anyway, I'll take a look at that animation guide and hopefully that will set me straight. Thanks! :) --Jack Blackserpent 22:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

For the clarification, i reverted my revert after reading that. Sonic Friday 20:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem. -- FreedomBound 23:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

GWW:TALK and Regina's page

• Users should not remove what they consider "spam" from other users' user talk pages, but should let the posters know that it is inappropriate.

That's the most relevant quote I can find from GWW:TALK. How does that apply to the IP's question?

On GWW:NPA, the relevant idea seems to be discuss the actions, not the person — and that's what the question asks. So, sure, they are rude, but how is it a personal attack to ask what Regina does? (In any case, isn't it up to Regina to decide whether to address the issue?)

Look, I'm not a fan of people being jerks on the wiki, but it seems like we are holding staff talk pages to a different standard by allowing this reversion. It seems to me that there are a lot of recent cases of people being unable to change their own talk pages to remove trolling posts; I'm having trouble seeing this as anything different. Could you clarify? Thank you.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 16:22, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Look harder. I've responded to this already, if you need further clarification, ask for it there. -- FreedomBound 20:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Question

Know anything about the variables? I did as much as I could copying the variables from everything else already listed but I've reached the point where I know anything about wikin'. A little help at this point if you can to finish this up and have it cycle in properly now would be great Devi Talk 13:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Not a clue, sorry. I think Poke wrote most of that, if not, he'd probably still be able to help. -- FreedomBound 14:28, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

this was hard to track down

Yes! That was hard to track down. Glad you beat me to it.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Ha! I looked at a couple of the other pages before realizing that there was a nice category where they were all stored. -- FreedomBound 18:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

LoL. No wonder it took me longer. I opened up each template used on the ZCQ page until I found which was provided the zoin values. Thanks again.  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 18:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Disguised!

Thanks for testing this. I meant to...and then I realized I had given away all tonics (as had most people I know). — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Sea of Sorrows

Prove you wrong? The only place to get that type of information is Arena Net. If we were going by site pre-order dates, Guild Wars 2 would have been released multiple times by multiple sites over the past two years, Amazon being one of them.

Pre-order dates are not reliable when not confirmed by an official source, and last time I checked Amazon was not part of the Arena Net team.

It may very well turn out that that is the correct date, but in this case you need to prove that the information is correct, not the other way around. --Kairu 18:46, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

If it changes, we can update the wiki page. It's not like I'm saying the book is coming out tomorrow. It's almost a year away.... If it was just Amazon, I'd almost agree with you, but multiple booksellers have the same date, which most likely means that the information is coming from the publisher. If you'd prefer that there be a caveat (i.e. "tentatively"), add one, but I don't think it's worth stating that the release date hasn't been officially released by Anet, as I think the second book was published without them even acknowledging it. -- FreedomBound 19:06, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
