Guild Wars 2

I have had this problem off and on since launch. Usually happens after a patch and then another patch will fix it. In the past week or so I have been crashing repeatedly while doing all sorts of different things. Sometimes I’m on for 3+ hours with no issue and sometimes I crash in 15 minutes. I can be crafting, doing my storyline, browsing the TP or just out exploring. Nothing in particular seems to trigger a crash. I will say that today’s patch didn’t fix it though.

Awareness and fun, that what this is about. I can’t go about and donate my kids college fund away but I can make a thread and hopefully inspire a few people to show their support. I’m no one of those that spams for FB to turn pink and I’m not asking AN to do anything either. I just thought that if multiple people across Tyria were running around in pink, that it may draw some attention. That attention, in turn may possibly result in a written article or possibly even donations.

I’ve personally had two of my aunts pass away from breast cancer and its treatments. As a woman, that is a bit worrisome of my future. Breast cancer is by far the most “popular” of cancers as far as awareness is concerned. It may not need the huge amount of advertisement it gets, but progress in finding a cure for breast cancer would be progress for other types as well.

Lastly, I do know that heart disease and lung cancer are major killers. I’m not sure how to go about inspiring people to exercise, eat healthy, and quit smoking in a video game. Also, yes, I know you can be at risk even though you do those things.

It’s great to do stuff about breast cancer, but it’s a very specific cancer. When is prostrate cancer month? Oh, that’s right…

Didn’t mean to come across as negative, but what about cancer in general? When is lung cancer month?

All cancer is bad, not just that which can only effect certain people.

For the record, men can get breast cancer too. Feel free to post about other causes, I just chose to post about pink for breast cancer in October.

I am wondering if anyone else is feeling this way in game or if there is something that I am missing out on. I played WoW for years and as many people know, you can easily spot recognizable players, names, guilds, etc. I am missing that here. Very rarely do I run into the same people from one zone to the next. I am missing that feeling of being within a community. Is the world just “too big” for that sort of thing?

I’ll wear some pink if you wear brown in March for Colorectal Cancer Awareness month!

I wear brown most of the time anyways.

As most Americans already know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now, I know that people from multiple other countries play Guild Wars 2, but I think we can all agree that breast cancer awareness is a good thing. To raise awareness in October, many things that we see daily in America turn pink.

What I am proposing is a simple task. My husband and I plan to wear our gear in shades of pink throughout October. I think it would be really great if others did to. While running around out in the world of Tyria and you see a Charr dressed in pink, you can say “Hey, that guy cares about breasts too.” And really, who doesn’t? Might as well show it for a month.

I think that this would show a great sense of community within the realms.
