===Complete log===
'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Bonsoir.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't think anyone would base anything on that pathetic dog. ;P

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, I can't see whispers because, well, then l can't see folks talking and that seems sort of rude.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Good question — let me ask about [[Heroes' Ascent|HA]]. BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *sigh*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Everytime I go around the corner, people are missing.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We don't have an intercom, but I want to buy one, the crackly one, and say...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Now hear this, we're talking to players right now, STAY AT YOUR BLOOMIN' DESKS!:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So sorry, I don't have any work on HA but I will ask, I promise.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, we will have news on [[campaign 4]] soon. Including the fact we're working on campaign 4. ;p

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The irony is that we are working on it, you know we're working on it, but we're not announcing we're working on it.:

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, eventually we will, much to everyone's relief. And yes, it's ok for me to say that. :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' lam not going to go anywhere just now, so I won't be there, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Makes it easier to spot me, eh?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know that there will be a mission for the Asura miniature; I believe it may be a code.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I do believe you will obtain the pet immediately.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' [[Hard Mode]] - I wish I could, but details are not finalized quite yet, so no official word at present.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Id like to know about the PvE options for Mesmers, too, and improve bow skills. *yum*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Seductive, are you sure? That's pretty valuable

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I agree with you mat it would be nice to see progress on the heroes and pets, too.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's Seductive.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Didn't have one of those.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Remember, until PC Gamer is out, I'm sort of barred from discussing some things. With apologies.:(

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' PC Gamer may be in hands by Friday.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' PC Gamer only because it's the soonest to hit the stands.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, larger ignore list, although that makes me sad. I can ask, sure

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hall anniversaries? Hmmm... I like that idea a lot. Like a moosehead over the mantal decorative thingie?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't see a change in level cap; we'll discuss that later, I'm

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But I don't use a hammer.:( Thank you, though!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I know that players have asked about marriages, and perhaps an NPC for that. I sure will ask again if that's possible

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, as usual, I have to say there are some things about which I know no new news, so to speak.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Those include: Storage, guild hall storage, hairdressers or...there's another one....

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Many have asked to be able to play as a race other man human. What do you think about the idea?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Every campaign, people do ask for it.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *gasp!* You'd slay mini pets!?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, man, nothing would tick me off more!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Poor little siege turtle, how could you, you meanie!:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Would you like occupations like fishing? For reward? For gold... ?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's been a long while since I played a game with cooking and such.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' First game I played like that was AC, and I was "You're serious; People COOK in this game? What the heck?" :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know about character porting or that sort of thing. It's a fair question, but I've no word on that today.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No word on presents, but we're taking ALL your ideas and turning them into a spiffy table for the designers.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Poor Andrew, head buried in stats.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The instant that I can speak of... certain things... you can count on me speaking.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You would have to muzzle me to stop me talking.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Duct tape? :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't have a mini-Mallyx, myself. And I think that one is particularly nice.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' lavender, as I recall

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No we don't hate farming, not at all! We only worry if it's professional, for real world money farming.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Titles need to be sorted out, I agree.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I would like to see AFKers and leechers dealt with, I agree with you

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know that mere is a means to do that, but I do agree they are irritating and very unsportsmanlike.:{

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's very kind, thank you for being so nice.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Tell me about the ecto glitch!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, was interrupted.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Have you posted the glitch somewhere?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, I don't know that that is a current glitch, is it?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *lol* Good one. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Switching servers invites imbalance, though. As soon as a territory gets favor, everyone shifts.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Wouldn't that be sort of silly?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I was laughing at the comment about WTB lower case letters. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Pet controls — coming most assuredly!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thank you, Ha Khann

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are others who feel that way as well, that favor should go away.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But how to get access?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There's nothing in the water? You've not seen the beautiful shark?!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, goodness, please don't misuse the word "racism." If anything, it's nationalism or regionalism.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Let me see if James is back so I can harass... I mean ask him a question. BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have it on good authority that we'll have some final decisions on HA soon

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'd say 1-2 weeks, but believe me, that's taking a guess.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think the surveys are somewhat towards 8v8, but it's close.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, we need a better means of trade. We know and agree with you.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Trading Guild Wars for real world money is against the User Agreement.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have a large pack of hungry dogs to sic on those who engage in such practices.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Titles! Let me ask. James is at his desk!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, straight from James Phirmey, Lead Designer.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Which means we can ALL yell at him if it doesn't come.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We will have word about the max [[title]]s AND about [[Hard Mode]] by end of week.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, more than _A_ word, several words. :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have not heard of an expanded option list for Guild Leaders, but I'd read a thread about that if there was one.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' For instance, what other options should the Guild Leader have?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I just wrote about the titles. Scroll up, please.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Full alliance roster could consist of 1,000 names. You're serious?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Why, or where would you even put it?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Multiple tabs, thank you, I understand.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I was seriously wondering how to fit 1,000 names on the screen.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Alliance notice, good idea.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Co-leaders for guilds is difficult because some things need, I believe, to be tied to a single account.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I can pass it along, surely.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh goodness, you don't WANT that notice when your friends log on, trust me

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It gets so spamrny, you see something eveyr 30 seconds, you end up disabling it.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are no beta tests for America. The beta test is occurring in China at this time.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you could enable that for a few friends, I see your point, that might be fun.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I had that, the "log in, log out" and it drove me nuts.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You can disable my chat by leaving the district.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' * shrug* What can I say? ;P

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'd LOVE a dye storage option! Man o man!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Key storage, dye storage, heck, miniature storage... the storage wants are endless and I'm right there with you!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Not that I ever share that thought with the designers, no, no, not at all! *ahem*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The idea of cross-attribute elites is very interesting, but there are those who feel with a game with...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' how many is it, 194,029.6 skills? ;) With a game with many skills, having cross-attribute elites would...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ...add even more complexity to the game.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, hey, no. There is not charge for Guild Wars and we are not adding a charge. Goodness!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You're welcome.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have a lot of chances to play. I was playing on Sunday, in fact. Well, until Europe had a connectivity issue and...

'''''Gaile Gray:'''''... I dutifully put my Ranger away to send emails to 400 people.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' What can I say? They had a fix, it was great!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This girl isn't a player character. My other accounts, though... they are.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I agree with you, there are other things we can do to improve communication, you bet.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY, Jessica.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It would be amuzing if all of Froggie's speculation about a certain small girl came true, eh?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' amusing, too.;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' CE keys won't be sold, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are no professions in the Chinese Alpha Test, to the best of my knowldege

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We don't have an email address, but we DO read the forums every day

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, I meant to say no NEW professions in China. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No, Utopia was working title, it's not a title for our game

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No chests in [[The Underworld|UW]]?? NONE??

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Cause I know they are randomized but honestly!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' See that? They appear after doing quests, according to up there.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's right, the zones have random spawning, and sometimes an area receives a sparce number of chests...

'''''Gaile Gray:'''''... and another has a large number.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's intended, that they be random, so that people don't just go to the same spot, yes.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You can get news in PC Gamer of... something major, yes.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The whole company went to see 300 on Friday, eys.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Have you reported the issue of lag to Support? They can help, sometirnes, with regional issues and...

'''''Gaile Gray:'''''... with reports, they can spot problems internal to the servers, too.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So reporting is a really good thing to do.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, if they say it's you, I hate to say this, but likely it is.:(

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We don't hesitate to admit when it's us, but oftentimes it's a backbone (external, Internet) issue

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Let me see if I can wrestle a bit more news from James. BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, I nabbed James again.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And he said that he would probably have something to share in a few weeks about the Mesmer assessments.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So it'll be a while, it’s basically taking a look at seeing if changes are needed.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Included in that is Ranger bow skill assessment, which is also being looked at long term.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So don't expect overnight changes. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have NOT made an announcement, that article was in error.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hmmm... zero tolerance in effect, I see.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'd pay premium prices for Aura of Civility.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't have any word on [[Gwen]] today, sorry to say.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If PvP and PvE were incredibly similar, then the players wouldn't argue so.;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, I should go back to making my list here. Anyone for a conga?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, let me tuck away my turtle.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' He slows me down.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' 'Sok, those who don't care to join the Conga, you're welcome to not. It's fully optional.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Click me, or someone in line and then hit space bar.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, going now.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I will be sure to share that. Nice of you to say.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And yes, I will pass along your ideas, and hopefully share more info soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Like... soon.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Buenas Noches.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks for the visit, you guys.:)
