Yes... and no.

• Something went up, but it didn't make it to the official Discord's #social-feed, or to any of their other social media channels.

• Whatever it was? Was taken offline.

• There's no way to know if the contents were "This is 100% ready for the public", or "This is a test page", or "This is where the quaggans and skritt play combat dodgeball", or what. If we ever see it again, the content may well change, in full or in part.

• Since ArenaNet took it offline, we're going to treat it as "Not Ready For Prime Time."

• I know some folk captured it and went into their own theorycrafting about it. Since what they captured isn't Official, yet, we're treating those articles and videos as "Not Ready For Prime Time", too.

• Whenever ArenaNet posts something new, whether it was this or if it's something completely different, it'll end up here.

• Once something's live, if someone wants to theorycraft about it, that's fine, too. If it turns out that there's no changes from what was temporarily up to what's Official and published, old theorycraft videos and articles will be good to go. If there's changes, odds are the creators are going to want to revise their own work to match the new content.

Gentlefolk, I'm just as starving for "Show us what's behind the curtain" as everyone else, but let's wait until it's something that ArenaNet's ready to share. ^^and ^^please ^^stop ^^blowing ^^up ^^the ^^modqueue.

Like, seriously, what the fuck???

... Estimated 6.0 earthquake, about 150 miles north of Silicon Valley.

That was a surreal experience.

I'm led to believe that I don't have to, vendors will cheerfully take US dollars, but they'll tack on a surcharge and it can make one appear the clueless tourist and thus bait, so the smart thing to do is to get pesos in small bills for causal shopping.

Is there a specific place in San Jose folk recommend for currency exchange before travel? Or do people just shrug and do it at the airport or banks when they land?

EDIT It looks like the current best answer is "Check to see what exchange rate you can get out of Mexican airport ATM, shop local if you can beat it, check with your local bank to see if they offer the service." Appreciate the advice.

So, I've collated the various "Wishlist" entries that have been made here in the last two weeks, and they can be found in the community wiki, under "r/GuildWars3 Community Wishlist Megathreads". Click here for a direct link.

If you've got an idea for something you'd like to see in Guild Wars 3, check out the link, and see if there's a megathread for it. If so, join the conversation! If not, start a new one!

Including the one I just did ten minutes ago.

Is this a known bug, or is my community wiki in danger of getting reverted?

Greetings, Vaelwardens!

• So, if people check out the community in either the Original Reddit GUI or the Redesign they should see the banners and icons and other visual elements updated. I know the Redesign gets more traffic, so I'll be working on backwards compatibility in order to make sure both can serve the community in the same way.

• You should see links to our (under construction) Community Wiki, and the Community Guidelines, aka subreddit rules. For the former, we don't have a lot to go on. If there's things that you'd like to see in either, drop us a Modmail (and by us I mean me until I finish building the foundations and put out an all-call for interested parties) or make a suggestion here.

• The Redesign page also has links to ArenaNet's official Discord, and a link back to the old.reddit interface. There's a few more available spaces for links in the Community Bookmarks, so if there's one that you think should be front and center, use the same methods as above to suggest it.

• As far as flairs go, aside from "Vaelwarden" and "Seeker", we're still all hungry for details. (Thought I did customize the "membership" and "members online" displays in the Redesign accordingly) When we know more, there will be more. What else would the community like to see? Are y'all interested in flairs if official ArenaNet employees stop by? Or specific streamers? Or a "Seekerpost" fluff flair for original content memes? Suggest away!

• It's been a pretty intense 48 hours or so. I wanted to offer a quick apology if I haven't been as responsive as I'd like to be, or if your post ended up duplicating someone who posted the same thing earlier. Throwing everything into a single megathread would have been a mistake, but having twenty posts about the same link or quote or wishlist or theory would have been an equal mistake, forking all the discussion threads into nigh-uselessness. AutoModerator's going to calm down about that starting tomorrow, but I'd like to encourage everyone to glance at the front page and see if what you're wanting to post about is already there.

• Big shoutout to the r/GuildWars2 team. We're not competitors, we're friendly neighbors, and we've been gently steering traffic to the relevant community as needed for a while. Let's try to avoid criticizing the way their modteam's managing their community, and crossposting back-and-forth between us. ArenaNet's going to keep GW1/Reforged going, and GW2 going, while getting GW3 on the ground. We're all fans. Let's respect that, keep the right topics in the right communities, and mutually thrive.

• Minor exception to the above: If someone from ArenaNet's saying something over there that's relevant to us, that's cool to crosspost. Please don't take that as a slight to our community: ArenaNet's been dealing with them and the folks from there that post to r/GuildWars2 have a long, successful history with them. We're brand new, after all!

And with that, I open the floor to constructive dialogue.

Context: I have multiple accounts. 99% of my reddit activity is done on a laptop or desktop, so I can access the old reddit UI via using the Chrome brower and the https://old.reddit.com/new URL.

(because old reddit = best reddit)

Lately, if I log out of this account, and log any of my other accounts, when I log back into this account, Reddit sends me an email from noreply@reddit.com:

However, it doesn't send this link to any of the other accounts when I log into them.

Only this account, only when I log back into it.

I don't know if this is some sort of A/B thing, or a "We're going to nag moderators until they turn on 2FA" thing, or something that only targets moderators with a specific number of communities, or a specific community size, or what.

I'd rather not set up a Gmail filter to just shove anything from this email address or with this title (or both) out of my inbox. Is this something that's being aimed at moderators specifically? If so, is there any way to make it stop?
