Wintersday 2008 Opens Up the Eye of the North

(Lt. Thackeray)On behalf of the Ebon Vanguard, I am pleased to extend our invitation to this year’s Wintersday celebration. Most of the Vanguard is off-duty to take part in the festivities, so please join us in the Eye of the North as we relax and make merry. It has fallen to me to make sure everyone has a proper good time, a duty that I gladly accept. I just hope no one minds if I have a little fun for myself along the way.

–Lt. Thackeray

[[Wintersday]] is coming, and for the first time ever the [[Eye of the North]] will be taking part in the festivities. The Ebon Vanguard’s tower stronghold will be decorated for the season (along with [[Lion’s Arch]], [[Kamadan]], [[Droknar’s Forge]], and [[Ascalon City]]), but visitors can enjoy a lot more than just the spectacular scenery. This year’s festival includes some of the most popular events, quests, and goodies from past Wintersday celebrations, plus a whole host of new things to discover, including brand new NPCs, quests, rewards, and a special holiday PvP tournament.

Most of the [[Ebon Vanguard’s]] officer class is off-duty and out celebrating, so the Eye of the North itself has been left in the capable hands of Lt. Thackeray. A driven, disciplined soldier, Thackeray is quickly making a name for himself as one of the Ebon Vanguard’s elite reconnaissance rangers. He’s also determined to spread holiday cheer throughout the Eye of the North, and provide a bit of comfort and respite to his fellow soldiers…especially [[Gwen]], who is feeling a bit melancholy this Wintersday.

Thackeray will provide new quests, items, and collector NPCs that are specific to the Eye of the North, so you’ll need access to this area to participate—don’t miss out on the new [[tonics]] and [[summoning stones]]! Of course, there will also be new things to discover all over the world, and everyone who participates in the grand finale inside Lion’s Arch and Kamadan will get some spiffy new hats. The Wintersday [[candysmiths]] make their triumphant return, as will the [[polar bear mini-pet]]. In Lion’s Arch, Kamadan, Droknar’s Forge, and Ascalon City, you can try your hand at distributing gifts to the children, or if you’re feeling [[grentch-y]], you can try to destroy the gifts before the children get them. There will be a lot more action in the [[Snowball Arena]] before the traditional finale battle between the followers of [[Dwayna]] and the followers of [[Grenth]] to determine which god will control the weather during the coming months. Also, for the first time ever, players can experience 8v8 ATS-style Snowball Tournaments!

Wintersday events begin at noon Pacific Time (-8 GMT) on Friday, December 19, 2008 and run until noon on January 5, 2009. The Wintersday grand finale will take place on Wintersday itself in Lion’s Arch and Kamadan, beginning at 12:01 AM Pacific on Thursday, January 1, 2009, and repeating every three hours until 12:01 AM on Friday, January 2, 2009.

Mark your calendars and make plans to join Lt. Thackeray for this year’s Wintersday extravaganza!

Wintersday 2008 Holiday Rewards

In addition to the seasonally appropriate headwear you can receive from Dwayna or Grenth at the end of the grand finale, there are plenty of other gifts and items you might see during the Wintersday festival:

	[[Frosty Summoning Stone]] Nobody should be alone on Wintersday, so use this item to summon a snowman ally!
	[[Mischievous Summoning Stone]] Summon a grentch ally to help you spread some holiday cheer, Grenth-style.
	[[Frosty Tonic]] Don’t just build a snowman, be a snowman!
	[[Mischievous Tonic]] Get in touch with your inner grentch by taking on the outer appearance of one.
	[[Wintersday Gift]] What surprise will you find inside? Unwrap it to find out.
	[[Snowman Summoner]] Need an instant snowman? This gift is for you.
	[[Eggnog]] The holiday season’s staple drink.
	[[Spiked Eggnog]] A more potent glass of ‘nog for the hale and hearty. Please imbibe responsibly—don’t drink and quest.
	[[Wintergreen Candy Cane]] The return of the adventurer’s favorite candy treat.
	[[Rainbow Candy Cane]] A different flavor of candy cane that makes long days of questing more enjoyable.
	[[Yuletide Tonic]] Drink this tonic to become one of Dwayna’s little helpers.
	[[Glob of Frozen Ectoplasm]] Low on Yuletide Tonic? Try some of this!
	[[Fruitcake]] Another holiday staple that is sure to put a spring in your step.
	[[Candy Cane Shards]] Collect these colorful fragments by questing and competing. Hoard them up for the grand finale, have a candysmith forge them into a weapon, or trade them to see what you can get in exchange.

Special Reward!

In the tradition of the season, you will also receive special holiday-themed headgear for attending the Wintersday finale; and if you complete all four of the Eye of the North quests, you’ll find a special surprise waiting in [[Gwen’s garden]]!

We look forward to seeing you this Wintersday. Come join the fun, and don’t get left out in the cold!

Wintersday 2008 Holiday Events

There’s a lot going on in the Ebon Vanguard’s tower stronghold during this year’s Wintersday celebration, but there will also be plenty to do in Lion’s Arch and Kamadan. Here’s more of what you can expect:

* Speak to Lt. Thackeray in the Eye of the North to find out how you can help the Ebon Vanguard enjoy Wintersday through a new chain of quests!
* Brand new 8v8 ATS-style Snowball Tournaments!
* Two well-known Wintersday quests are back to let you side with Grenth and his grentches or Dwayna and her snowmen before their final showdown. Unsure which deity to support? Try both quests to pick your favorite!
* Quest chains from past years that involve certain beloved (and rare) holiday-themed animals.
* Two repeatable quests set in the (previously) [[Secret Lair of the Snowmen]]. It’s your choice: help save the snowmen, and all of Wintersday, or lead a group of grentches on a final “bah, humbug” of the season.
* Venture into the [[Underworld]] for a series of repeatable snowball fights against the forces of Grenth or the forces of Dwayna. Take control of piles of presents to win victory for your side in this frosty fray.
* More snowball mayhem in the form of PvP snowball fights! Random forces unite within an arena to fight for either Grenth or Dwayna. The first team to gather five presents for its patron deity wins the day.
* Embrace the old adage “it is better to give than to receive” at the city event game in Lion’s Arch, Droknar’s Forge, Kamadan, and Ascalon City. Deliver presents to the children before the grentches destroy Wintersday. You never know, the little urchins might reward you with something special for your generosity.

After my first year of completing these quests (see Irontoe book) I have another half a dozen to complete the same quest yet here I am having the quest log telling me that I must redo this for a third time.

If you do not believe this just go ask the Asura about it.

If I wanted to farm this - I already can! after my fully glitch original guild wars character I despair in the lack of both support and customer care!

Oh and for the records this was a roll-back this time! I completed and I was given the standaed bullshit trying to reconnect (my modem is JUST FINE!) Then after having to relog my helm gave it away as I completed with a Plate mail and returned with my Norm!

This was done for a joke how far will they run ? :->

Up to shrine for a spoof death levelling shot was to easy but getting the hog through an “Impenetrable! bush was a matter of 2 glitches 1 in and another out of the other side.

He event penetrated the wall’s of Ascalon I wonder why the Charr did not death level this for a secret weapon during the searing?

What No Rangers?

This is a serious quest, two in a party can roung them up and pen them at Ashford for the princely reward of 25 gold each!

Our members now receive an unprecedented amount of abuse in PRE SEARING ONLY!

We help new players by giving free weapons away, replying to new player questions and giving free runs for armour upgrades.

Most of this abuse is from racists who hate the British.

This site was set up also to give free help and advice. We have posted articles on how to deal with stalkers reporting hackers and have always had the link to THE USER AGREEMENT
Meanwhile we continue to ignore 90% and report the most serious repeat offenders.
I think it is about time for ArenaNET to take some responsibility over Racialist issues and other serious breeches in THEIR user agreement. It is after all a legal obligation.
We have supported this game from it’s development stage and will continue despite the victimisation we receive (mainly by offenders hackers exploiters and their friends)
Supporting exploiters and hackers is like receiving stolen property they do not take the risk but actively provide a market for these items (e.g a shield handle was the last illicit item i saw being sold and this is of NO use anyway).
The average I.Q of these people must be seriously deficient, one actually accused me of winding people up so they break the user agreement and I can therefore report them.
You are the only ones responsible for your actions, blaming others for this is so pathetic.

We receive no wages help or other incentives unlike the  “Official” site where jealousy rules their forums too. No one here is allowed to slander or “flame” others.

WE DO BAN ACCOUNTS OF SUCH OFFENDERS !

CYBER STALKERS

Religious fanatics attack spore

This no worse than the racial abuse on guild wars also directed towards the British players.

(so much for “Allies” and “Friendly fire”)

Most people are aware that bosses give a 2% moral boost. These are generally picked up in the Northlands, where a total of +8% is possible.

However the maximum moral boost possible is + 10% and this IS possible in Pre seared Ascalon, although the route taken is from this location (where I got + 2%) to the Northlands thus avoiding towns and outposts where the moral boost is lost.is a long walk.

Since I do not waste my time running to the Northlands with this moral boost where did I get it and what from. (I will answer this after I close the competition open for a week).

Please respond to this site (or Pre searing .com by p.m to member N.IGMA.) include the location and Boss name

An easy 1,000g is up for grabs for those that think they know it all.

Closing date by 17/09/08 midnight G.M.T You must include a screen shot of boss and location this will be posted (no haxing)

Unprecedented verbal personal abuse by Presearing.com members following posting there will render this competition VOID to their members if it continues. (abuse for the next 2 days!) Slander on “Official” Fan site too! no respect for members or the E.U.L.A

O.K so we had unscrupulous people using guest keys to run bots. I suggested  “No guest keys”  Now the bot runners are out in force buying second hand copies which can be used immediately. While guest keys were available Guild Wars in their infinite wisdom put a stop to trading during the first 24 hours, this is still in place. Not only that but you can not drop items outside (They could trade like this too?) ,also still in place. So you are an honest player who took the trouble of buying a spare account despite the inherent problems of on-line registration, e-mail addresses and upgrades (keys) purchased honestly in game via the (expensive) on-line playNC store.

Right time to start first things first (that makes sense) you collect 3 red iris for Gwen and have to wait another day before you can drop these to complete THE FIRST QUEST.

No you can not levitate the red iris to Gwen. (See Gwens quest guide) So what can you do talk to Gwen and spoil the first quest? Wait outside for 24 hours? wish you had never given them your money (non refundable).

Buy extra slots this costs more for 4 slots than the game! CRAZY my account has reached it’s limit of 24 characters anyway. That’s too bad you gave them too much money huh?

I always report account buyers for botting and post here a warning to any one so tempted to sell a spare account.

Meanwhile your other account is “still waiting” to use you as a mule? Your guild members are just hanging around. Are you bored yet? Try clicking the key words and listening to some music instead! You are being punished for another’s crime.

I guess you may as well wait for the searing

I dug this up from my archives for the non believers who must eat their foul words. I do NOT make false claims to be abused by foul mouthed kids!

That’s just BAD MANNERS! This was done SOLO (avoid the main path leave Rurik behind) no runes or Insignias were used on this level 4 Ranger (But she/me had a Big Bird helping)

N.B I’m not hung up about a female role-play!

Of course any serious Presearing player Knows of this site, We were the first Pre guild, Deliberately leaving characters here on the first week after launch (27/04/05)
