Guild Wars 2

I’ve been having issues with the second part of this quest recently. I’m at the part where you have to protect the Ogres from Harpies while they gather lumber. Everything was going fine, then the Ogres just suddenly stopped and stood there, doing nothing. No more Harpies are showing up, but there are still trees to fell. I’ve tried talking to them, but it does nothing, and I’d really rather not have to start the entire quest over, only to have it seize up again. I’m not sure what’s going on or how to fix it.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Make sure there’s room in your inbox. The mailbox has a cap on how many messages it can store at once, past that it will queue up new messages. Try deleting messages from your mailbox to see if new items arrive.

That was one of the first things I tried, actually. Sadly, it’s had no effect.

EDIT: I just tried this again, while explaining to a friend how to do it, and suddenly the items appeared. I’d tried deleting half a dozen read letters before, but it had had no effect, so I’m surprised it did something this time. It’s a shame it doesn’t tell you what the cap is, so you can get an idea of how many you need to delete in order to start receiving mail again.

Thanks for the help. I guess I’ll have to keep a closer eye on my mailbox level from now on.

A friend of mine recently got into GW2, and I’ve been helping him out by crafting weapons and armor for him as he levels. Recently, he sent me a bunch of crafting materials to make some new armor for him, but the mail containing them never arrived. We triple checked to make sure he’d sent them to the right account name, and everything seemed to be in order. I tried sending him some items I’d recently crafted for him, and they likewise failed to arrive. We hoped it was only a temporary issue, but when we logged on earlier this evening, the mail still hadn’t arrived.

Has anyone else been experiencing this problem, and if so, is there any word on what might be causing it and how to go about fixing it? I’d hate to think the items and crafting materials we were trying to exchange have just gone up in smoke.
