Unfortunately, sometimes things happen that nobody wants to experience: a website that stops working, a datacenter that goes dark (or servers that explode...) or sometimes a Discord server that is no longer accessible. That horror has befallen the Discord server Guild Wars Revival, where it looks like the original server has been lost, and the team has to start from scratch.
The server was compromised by someone with bad intentions and the knowledge of how to abuse it, erasing years of work. As the main driving force behind Guild Wars Legacy, I can't even begin to imagine how this must feel and how much of a nightmare this must be for the team. For a lot of projects, even those born out of pure passion, such a blow can be a death sentence. Guild Wars Revival has decided to carry on and rebuild their server from the ground up. That's a monumental task, and I wish them the very best of luck with it.
Running a community takes daily work and running a Discord server takes a special set of skills on top of that. Legacy once had its own Discord server, but the main power of Legacy is this forum. Discord is best left to those motivated to run the best Guild Wars servers they can. Legacy doesn't need to do everything: our community flourishes most when we all work together.
That's why we started working with Guild Wars Global early on, and with Guild Wars Revival a few months ago. I honestly want to see them, and every other Guild Wars project, flourish.
Legacy works with any Guild Wars project that wants to, and our door is open to everyone: if you run a GW community or tool, and you want to collaborate: reach out.
Do you want to help Guild Wars Revival rebuild or join their server? You can join the new server here.
Best of luck to the team - as everyone knows, the real story only starts after the Searing.

About the Author
Hello, I'm Iaerah (formerly known as Kevin - which is my real name), the Guild Wars Legacy admin.
The reason why I switched my name to Iaerah is mainly because Kevin is so generic, and if I ever want an NPC named after me in game, I'll need a more creative name 
Joking aside, Iaerah is also my main in Guild Wars 2 (I know, I know, shoot me - but I enjoy both games. Just don't see GW2 as the sequel to GW1).
I'm not only the Guild Wars Legacy administrator but also the founder of it, together with some other great people like Richey (who runs the Guild Wars: A New Hope Facebook group) and Max Borken. I'm quite easy to contact and generally spoken I reply quite quickly, but I have a tendency to read my notifications and forgetting to respond. If that happens, feel free to send me a reminder.
You can contact me using the contact form on this site, you can send me a PM here or you can mail me on my Guild Wars Legacy email (hint: it's my real name @guildwarslegacy.com) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can (if I don't forget ;)).
In game, you can contact me on one of my two main accounts: my mains are either Leanna Goldwing or Inquisitor Karinda.
In general, don't be afraid to contact me!
Do you have an idea to improve Guild Wars Legacy, no matter how small it might be? Feel free to let me know!
