Hello everybody.

Just passing by to remind you that if you witness an episode of hacking or exploiting, you can send your reports and screenshots to the following email address: exploits@arena.net, where they will be looked by the security team. Also, remember that whole servers cannot be considered guilty only on the actions of individual players.

Hi Dridikos.

Thanks for helping us!

Server: Tarnished Coast

NPC still broken. (3+ weeks now) NPC just lays there dead. Unknown if it ever worked when server came up from update.

Sadly this one will be broken until our next update. The issue here was found after we got the fix in that I mentioned last week. Luckily, this is the only one that was affected by this issue.

Sadly Bill, your company seems to have lied to its customers. This was meant to be fixed in the update 2 days ago, according to the post 11 days ago.

The past couple updates were unscheduled emergency builds to address issues that came up. Our next scheduled content update build is the upcoming Halloween build. I do apologize for the confusion, but I assure you that the skill challenge will be fixed in that build.

Not entirely accurate Lindsey, a lot of recipe items were soulbound just after release, leaving me stuck with a couple of jeweller and artificer recipes on a character that did not have those professions.

Fair enough, but it was never the case that a recipe was account-wide, not character-based as suggested.

(you know economist really don’t like assuming :P )

I’m a 4th year Econ major and what is this?

90% of everything I’ve ever done is grounded in some pretty ridiculous assumptions the get absolutely crushed in real world scenarios. The ones that don’t get crushed are universally necessary, like ceteris paribus.

That’s the joke I was making.


A doctor, an engineer and an economist are in a shipwreck and stranded on a island alone.
The doctor says I’m going to go look for the food and water that we’ll need to survive.
The engineer says don’t bother, I can build a radio out of anything.
The economist says, you people are crazy, I’m just going to assume a boat is right over there.

Out of curiosity, how many feel that a 100% free market would be a good idea?

I do.

And the whole "no real free market exists’ thing is red herring.

What we have now for gems is a completely fake free market – you guys made an algorithm that lets the trade value shift slightly – but the algorithm has aa strong attractor for the point you would prefer.

So what we mean when we say we want a free market is that people make sell and buy order for gems with no restrictions.

The intent of this was to provoke an academic debate over whether players thought a free market would be superior.

I’m not asking if you want a free market, I’m asking for players to discuss why or why not they think a free market would be better.

I am a little unclear about why some people are confused about the term “display name.” By it’s very title, isn’t it clear that it will be visible? What else would “display” mean in this context? (As noted above, there’s info available when setting it up.)

Character name changes will be offered in the Gem Store in the future. It’s not clear yet if or when we’ll offer display name changes, for a variety of reasons.

While we normally remove threads discussing forum moderation, this is a good opportunity to spread a little love. The posters above that have stated these forums are more heavily monitored/moderated than most are correct in their assumption.

The team takes pride in doing all we can to provide a fun and friendly environment so players can come together and discuss the game constructively. Not everyone will agree with each other and that’s fine. Not only is it fine, but it’s also healthy.

What’s not healthy is verbally attacking others and violating the Code of Conduct. The majority of our forum visitors abide the rules well. For those that don’t, you all can help. If someone makes you angry by violating a rule, rather than react and respond to them in kind, we’d greatly appreciate it if you’d just click the little black flag in the bottom right corner of the post in question. That sends a report to the Community Team allowing us to investigate the issue and take action if necessary.

Thanks for the discussion and the support everyone!
