===Summary===
*As said in the [http://www.guildwars.com/community/thescribe/scribe-070404.php Scribe], players will receive a significant [[Storage]] upgrade soon.
*The new storage will double the original 20 slot vault, plus grant a player an extra vault tab of 20 slots for each campaign he has, up to a maximum of three, totalling 80 slots if one owns all chapters.
*The tabs are not linked to any kind of item - we may place whatever we want in them.
*The update with the above change and many more will happen most likely this easter weekend.
*The [[Easter]] items will be the two ones mentioned in the Scribe.
*[[Skill Hunter]] title split will come with [[Hard mode]]
*2-3 weeks until the prizes for the celestial tournament are awarded.<noinclude>

===Complete Log===

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Bonjour. Gute Nacht. Hello.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *shrug* it's the_international_district, so try to internationalize it as much» as I can. Comprende? :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, is it still afternoon there? Not night?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Well, according to The Scribe -- you did all get your news scroll right? -- there is something coming this weekend.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, Razah's update comes soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hard Mode? I think it is not too long from now. Not this week, but most likely this month.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, that IS a lot of storage. You folks are aware of this upgraade?

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

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Guild Wars 2 is not even on the server, much less test-able, much less playable. No one has played it.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The storage update is as follows:

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' For each campaign that you own, you will receive a new tab in the Xunlai system.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This means if you own ail three campaigns, you will have four tabs, total.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The initial tab, plus one each for Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, 400%.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hero Battles -- news coming soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ArenaNet is owned by NCsoft and is not for sale.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The Big Dev Update -- and it's so big I use capital tetters — is coming very soon;

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This week, almost certainly.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are two things coming: First, we will post a Dev Update in about an. hour.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That update will outline the many skill balances that will be included in the game update.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The game update will take place, as I said, this week.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It is one of the largest updates I've seen. It has a LOT of great elements!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No, sorry, no Asura punting emote.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are changes to the Monk, but I do not know that they are nerfs. Might be buffs.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have not received all the art entries. They are being mailed to us from our 6 other offices.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So we will not have judging for a week or two.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The winner announcement date is on the contest page.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There is an NCsoft office -- that's the publisher, not the development studio — in Brighton.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And they occasionally do have job openings, you bet!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Automated Tournament news is coming on Thursday.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And ATS testing — in which you may wish to be involved -- is starting on Friday and runs one week.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You can read about the ATS testing on the Guild Wars Wiki.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No info on Hall of Monuments yet. The team is working 100% on the GW update.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think the prizes for the tournament will be distributed ... let me check. BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I checked with our programmer, and he said 2-3 weeks to distribute the prize for the Celes Tourney.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have not had an answer yet on the Skill Hunter title. I did send an email.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I cannot answer ALL CAPS, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Guilds sell membership to get a cape trim. Isn't that sorta lame? :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I spoke with a designer a few days ago about HA, and I believe that they're looking at kill count, yes.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If or when they may remove it entirely, I don't know for sure. We're checking now.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I know that The Scribe mentioned there are a few drops for Easter-like items. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The Support Team watches the districts frequently, and removes bots and gold sellers often.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hats are for full holiday events. That's not what is coming this time.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's right: Chocolate Bunnies and Golden Eggs.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The Scribe has details. I believe this is a first for drops — triple goodness.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you see NPC's jumping, you may have a corrupted .dat file. I had the same. Reinstall your game.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It worked perfectly for me, and they are no longer jumping and sliding around.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We will be having initiatives for releasing some of the rare miniatures. They will make splendid prizes, for one thin

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, "for one thing."

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No Easter transmogrifiers. The Easter details are provided in today's Scribe.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The Scribe is published on the US website.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, there will be birthday gifts, but we are not providing details.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I do not believe that storage will be sorted by region, no. I believe you get free-use storage tab for each game.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And into those, you can store anything that you like.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This is kindness of the Xunlai Agents.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are some changes to the UI in the next update -- I cannot say for certain of the text length is one.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Storage updates will be added to the game with the next major game update.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you have been paying attention, that is coming very soon. This week, in fact.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The update notes, last I read them, were more than 2,000 words -- it's a VERY large update.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' AB waits are not a result of needing more servers, but of players not being evenly distributed.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you want fact entry to AB, play Luxon.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Pirates ftw, guys.;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, but boring is better than rude, dear.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's the spam, really. I'm trying.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The skill balance is very lengthy. The game updates are lengthy as well. Combined it may exceed 3,000 I'm not sure

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks, Prince.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The 150 skills is overall, of course.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Nightfall was released in October 2006.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, a collectors edition for GW:EN is being considered. Don't have a final word.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Would you want one?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, Jeff stopped by.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' He wondered how you felt about the big storage increase.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I told him you were thrilled.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Jeff Strain is a co-founder of ArenaNet. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And if you want details of the Easter drops, read The Scribe.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Jeff confirms that Nightfall "tab" does not only hold Nightfall items, etc.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' A weblog? Wow, that would be fun. You know, though, I'm sort of turning my GWW page into one.;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But don't tell the Sysops.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY, Death Sligher.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Thanks...er... dervish.;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The release of GW:EN has not been set, it's true.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It will not take place in the next few months, I can tell you that. The official word was more "Holidays"

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hey, the Big Update may come even before Friday!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oooh, nice idea! If you can swim, can you find Orr? I don't know — neat thought, though!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Today? *shuffles feet*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Update today? Hmmm...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *looks at sky*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We'll see. Don't you HATE it when people say that? :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Maybe today, yes. Maybe tomorrow or Friday. But soon for sure!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' PC, you must keep that, but thank you.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are details to be had about Hard Mode when it's a bit closer. And really, it's not that distant!

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

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' A special art book covering all the campaigns would be a lovely idea.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'd like one of those "coffee table" types of books!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Gray, silly, with an "a". :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I will pad down the hall and ask about that title split. I will BRB

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ok, asked Curtis:

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Skill Hunter split with Hard Mode. Hard Mode is close.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I loved the April Fool's Day joke, too!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Froggie is stopping by sometime this week, I know.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know of a preview weekend, sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' TY Joe.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No hats, so I doubt Froggie will have a new one.:)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, dear, I need to go make a Dev Update post! I will stop by later, if I get chance.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' You guys take care, and enjoy that update. I think you will LOVE it!
