Hey and welcome

Hey, yeah thats fine, I found a way around it. You're on the list. Hopefully the surgery will go well and with good recovery.

Hey and welcome, although we spoke before of course

Don't worry about your English, it is fine

I fear I don't know any literature to recommend, I will have to point you one of our British, American, Canadian or Australian guildies. If you're not sure who to ask, I'll gladly introduce you to some of them.

If you ever need help with any game mode, quest or event we are hosting, feel free to ask me (almost) anything.

Nova

We had 4 meetups in the past years, this year have not picked a venue/town yet.. more will follow soon ™

put you on the list rabbit

Hello everyone!

It is almost Wintersday again, and as every year we will run Secret Santa again. This is a great opportunity to give and receive pretty shiny packages.

So what is it that you did not get around to get this year, does your heart have any desires? Perhaps you need that last item for a collection or do you fancy turning into Tyria’s finest animals on the push of a button? Maybe you want some help in looking your shiniest for the holidays? If you can’t think of anything specific, just give Santa a general idea of your preferences and something will be gifted to you!

So how does this work?
You simply sign up (at latest 18th December 2018 at 23:59 GMT) by replying on this thread or by sending Nova an email ingame (Persephone.5384) with:
Accountname:
Gift Wishes:

Note: you might not get your heart’s desire if you ask for something ridiculously expensive.

After the closing date you'll be told who your match is and what they've wished for. You will then have until 1st January to send them their gift! If you wish to remain anonymous you can send the gift over to Nova, with a message if you like, and the gift will be passed along whilst keeping your identity a secret

We ask for your gifts to have a value of at least 5g. It's not all about the monetary value of the presents, of course, but we'd like everyone to feel they can take part regardless of how rich they are in game. If you want to give something more expensive, of course that is allowed.

If it so happens that you don't receive your gift, there will be provision for this so don't worry; if things don't work out with your Santa you will still get some shinies, as long as you sent yours.

REMEMBER:
Sign up by 18th December
Send gifts out by 1st January

Happy gifting everyone <3

Here are this years scary stories:

Caldnir's Story:
Days are darkening and growing colder. Halloween has come. The seams between worlds are weakening and Tyria is about to have a royal visitor from the Mad Realm.
It’s the Mad King Thorn, back again in Lion’s Arch

“Oh, I remember you lot.”
“Piken Square Dragon… Punters, yes, hah hah!”
“Congratulations on slaying Kralkatorrik by the way. Even the Mad Realm felt that. There were creatures phasing in and out of existence, unstable portals popping on and off, you know how it goes, I’m sure.”
“Even I felt unstable. Can you imagine?”
“Still, the portals made me realise something. Why limit myself to Kryta, when there are countless other kingdoms I have yet to grace with my presence? So I jumped into a portal, and I must say I found some very peculiar places.”
“Like United Kingdom? Please, everyone knows kingdoms aren’t supposed to unite. They wage war against one another! Though they didn’t seem that united, so perhaps hope is not yet lost.”
“And who names their kingdom Netherlands? I guess Underworld was already taken.”
“Anyway, I left some presents here and there that should be opening at midnight, which is right… about… NOW!”

“Ooh, that was fun. And I am nowhere near done”

It feels as if the Mad King stares right at you, though it’s hard to be certain because of the pumpkin.

Thorien's Story:
Our tale begins as Halloween tales do,
On a stormy night where a foul wind blew.
When an orange moon cast an eerie glow,
On the land of Tyria far, far below.

A sea of mist spread across the land,
From Mordrem wood to crystal desert sand,
And everywhere a rising tide of fear,
But the cause unknown - it just wasn’t clear!

“We need a team” the people cried
“Of fearless folk, all on our side”
“A band of heroes, a motley crew”
“And a naked Norn with a great hair-do”.

The call went out both far and wide,
And forth they came to form a tribe,
With weapons magic, sharp, and blunter,
Each one a PS Dragon Hunter.

With a “gooooood day” call dear Nova led,
As close behind the cursed crew tread,
Until Storm cried out with a halting stop
“Oooo look - another precursor drop!”

They wandered long and lost all count
Of just how long they’d been on their mount.
The battles long – fighting toward their end,
Each guildie finding comfort and becoming friend.

Til at last they came to the source of evil,
Their life-force drained, their resistance feeble,
And one by one they met their maker,
Their death was sealed, no loss was greater!

And so you ask on this Halloween,
What was their doom? What could be so mean?
Was it dragon? Hydra? That sealed their fate…..
T’was the epic fail – the A-NET build template!!!
