  • This or That?

    Guild Wars Origins. It would be cool to see the origins and experience the Guild Wars.

    I'd love a game just after Guild Wars 1 though, see them trying to hold ground against the Charr... how Elona fares, the internal struggles.
    There are some truly great stories there.

    So.... chocolate cake or vanilla cake?

  • Announcing the Guild Wars Guru Archive

    Since the Guru archive has been down for half a year now, we decided to do our best and try to provide a (temporary) archive of Guild Wars Guru.
    We've been working hard (and by that we mean that we've been using our whips on Kevin) to make this possible.

    You can now visit the archive on http://archive.guildwarslegacy.com (we do suggest you use the links below) - HOWEVER, keep this in mind: this isn't a real backup, but rather parts of the website tied together. Huge chunks of the site are still missing, you can't use search and navigation isn't buttery smooth - however, you can find a LOT of information in it and you're able to recover images, posts etc.

    Categories

    This is the most expensive part of Legacy right now to host, being over 100 GB big (Legacy itself is right now way below 500 MB in size). If you use this often, please consider donating to Guild Wars Legacy.

    Questions and inquiries about this archive can be sent to [email protected]

  • Like feature

    Quote from Emma


    Perhaps not who liked it, but would be fun to see how many people like a post. Imo it would be fun to see a like counter.

    so please don't disable it ;)

    The amount will stay there ^^ What Marty means is that in other themes it's also shown how much likes you got in total on all your posts and how many likes you've given yourself - and that isn't quite useful :)

  • Current time used on forum

    I'm going to search further for a better solution for this, but this is a bit of a thougher nut to crack for me since it requires me to actually modify the forum's code.
    That's not to be said it's impossible, but it will have to wait until I have the dev environment ready.

  • Like feature

    Quote from Emma


    yeah, the thumbs up emoji is now behind the text: Like Post. atleast for me. And is there a like counter?


    I have fixed that, it should now look like the other options. I have also added the bar that shows who liked which post and restyled it a bit.

    Quote from Marty Silverblade


    Revolution displays the number of likes given and received along with the post count, join date ,etc, as well as showing a list of people who liked a post at the bottom of it. Neither of those appear on Wintersday. The liked list appears as white text with a shadow on a white background though. The thumbs up icon is misaligned for me too.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, if we're going to have a likes system installed, isn't reputation kinda redundant? It's never really been clear what it's meant to be for anyway.

    EDIT 2: Also, I'd personally prefer for the total number of likes somebody has given and received to not be listed on every post. Listing the people who liked a post on that post (as it happens now) would be all I'd like to see.

    Wintersday hasn't got the same treatment yet, as I'm going to merge it with MyIPB so that it uses the same templates - right now every change has to be done in every theme, and I'm simply going to use 1 base theme and change the stylesheets soon.
    Revolution has gotten the small fixes as well.
    The reputation system has been removed, it didn't really work here (it was here because it was a default feature of MyBB).
    The amount of likes being listed isn't intentional, it's set up that way on some themes though (as it is the default). I don't think that's important information... I'll look into disabling it.

    Making a thread here to show gratitude for all who made the archive possible. I forgot what epic stuff was posted right till the shut down. I just browsed the last 3 pages of Your Beloved Collections and I couldn't be happier. Nostalgia, memories and even a little tear when I saw that green bulb under my profile indicating I was online.

    Thank you so much!

    ~Emma


    It's been a TON of work to get it online, but I'm glad we finally did it! It's a really huge archive (100GB+ and 1021288 files), but it's worth it.

    Quote from cosyfiep


    yeah, it has been nice to see the old girl back up and moving (slowly, but that is just about right for her!)

    only issue I have with it is it is only available thru my ipb...none of the other backgrounds have it (yet?--hint hint).


    That is done on purpose, same reason as why I didn't publicy talk about it yet/announced it. I have to see how the server reacts to having 100GB+ of web data and more than 1 million files. That's quite a lot...

  • Current time used on forum

    It took me quite a lot of effort, but on the posts itself the time should now be displayed like this: 29-01-2017, 23:55 UTC - I had to modify core files of the forum.

    Note of reference for myself should I need to re-do this in the future: functions_post.php, $post['postdate'] = my_date('d-m-Y, H:i e', $post['dateline'],0,2); (line 166)

  • What music are you listening to?

    Yesterday, I went to a show of Epica and Powerwolf, and the support act was Beyond The Black -they blew me away!

    I love this song from them:

  • Announcing the winners of the Wintersday contest!


    Hello everybody - we're finally ready to announce the winners of our first contest!
    First of all, sorry for the delay - I'm fully to blame for it, but I have had a few busy weeks.

    We had a lot of submissions for this contest and we really had a though time picking a winner!
    There were a lot of great submissions, very creative and funny ones indeed! It was so hard that we ended up with a tie for the last Grawl, so without further ado... here are the winners!

    Congratulations to:

    Honorable mentions go to Ewilan and Max Mephisto!

    (The pictures chosen are random)

    I'll be in touch in the next few days to get all of your details to get your hands on these cute little Grawls!

    Once more, congratulations!

  • Pop-up window when clicking on usernames.

    Quote from Marty Silverblade


    "Too much work" and then two days later it's here. Possibly related, I just got a popup that says I can tag people like this: cosyfiep

    Doesn't seem to have worked.

    Yeah - I found a neat plugin for MyBB that did exactly that - I looked over it last time :)
    I added something else which shows notifications in your browser, even when you are in another tab. Could that popup be from that?
    I didn't add anything for @mentions.

  • GWGlobal on Discord (Open Beta): Party Search, Price Check, Kama Log And More...

    I'll have to take a good look into this soon :) However, I'm currently quite swamped in things I have to do (both work-related as in my private life). While I would love to check out everything directly, I fear I no longer have that time :P

    This looks like something really neat though and I'll look into it this evening :). The current discord for Legacy is quite active and is more a chat - it hasn't got any other features.
    I wouldn't mind merging the Discords though, as I'm not able to keep an eye on both the Legacy site and the Discord ;).

    So yes, I do encourage this and I think merging would be a great idea - renebulous, I'll get in touch with you ;)

  • tables

    I'll look into all of those, but to be honest I've got a quite hefty to-do list already, so it may take a while.
    a) I haven't added any styling to the tables yet - it's still the default theme styling. I'll look into it when I can :)
    b) Same as above, I'll need to modify the styling of it
    c) Same as above
    d) Could do that ^^
    The table=5 indicates how big your table is. Putting it on 100 will let the table take the entire width, 50% half of it, etc..

  • Delay in announcing Wintersday contest winners

    Quote from Lexx


    Technically I heard it's because Trump was picked winner, even though he can't possibly be amongst the winners.
    Always those computer glitches.. (mods, feel free to delete this post!)

    Well, he didn't win and is now blaming the Mexicans for taking his Grawls. Our legal department is looking into it.

  • Something to add to Legacy.

    Quote from Chris Chandler


    I've been keeping my GW1 fire alive by coming here and the FB pages (and playing ofc), one thing that I love to do is read about people's love for the game and their past experiences, how its affected them in real life, etc... On occasion, I'll meet a random GW lover in real life and we can get lost in conversation until we run out of time. Once I read a reddit post where people gave their GW Testimonials about why they love the game, etc. Some of them were pretty deep and I could relate, It's cool when other people understand how you feel about something and/or share the same experiences. I would love to see a forum called "Lengthy Guild Wars Testimonials" lol (or something to that effect.) I considered starting yet ANOTHER FB group on this, but I think this is more of an appropriate place and also another good way to plug the site. Everyone loves to tell their story and see what their friends have to say.. Just an Idea.

    Something like this is already in the works and is slated to be released around April ;)

  • Problem with account

    Quote from Ogeff


    Hi there !
    I have an account that, I don't know why, GW says that it doesn't exist, what's weird is : when I put the connection info (email and character name) and then a bad password it's just : you enter a wrog email/password. But if I put the right password, it appears : error 021 email not found.

    How can I try to take it back, since GW 1 support didn't respond to me ?

    Have you tried resetting it on the ArenaNet account site? https://account.arena.net/login
    Both GW1 accounts and GW2 accounts are linked... That way you could try to recover your password - what happens if you try to reset the password there?

  • 700 members

    Hello everybody!

    Yesterday, Max sent me an image. It showed that we have reached 700 members, which is absolutely colossal and happened only a few weeks after we hit 600.
    We've been growing quite a lot over the course of the last few months and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you - we couldn't have done it without you guys! :)

    Thanks for everything, we'll be doing our best to make this site as good as we can make it!

    Yours truly,

    Kevin

  • Guidelines for Xunlai Marketplace.

    Quote from MaxBorken


    So if I'm reading you right, you want the entirety of the rules flashing red and white in individual letters the size of your screen really really fast before you proceed...

    I'll see what I can do.

    Implemented per Max his advice.

    Quote from Emma


    Hola,

    I have no issues with the guidelines, except for the fact I need to scroll so far whenever I go to the Xunlai Market. Which I find extremely annoying. Might it be possible to put them behind a spoiler or what ever? I get that you want people to read the rules, but the people who want to read the rules will click a link, but the people who don't want to read the rules don't read them anyway. Even if you make a pop up with the rules they will just scroll down and close it.

    Conclusion: People who want to read the rules, will read them anyway. People who don't want to read the rules, won't read them anyway. People who already read the rules, just find it annoying at this point. :D

    ~Emma

    Nah, joking. You're right, it's a massive wall of text - I have hidden it behind a spoiler tag - it's easy to find but won't take all of your screen away.
