I do not know then. Maybe your friend got banned or maybe forum bug. The forum has a lot of bug like search broken. I will try to send you PM use your display name.
Edit: I just send you PM by typing your display name and it work. I think maybe your friend got account closed for some reason.
My mistake there is option on forum account to get email if you get private message. I forget about that, Make sure you use display name. The one with the number like your name here on forum. Not character name.
If he is on friend list you can see display name. With display name you can send PM on forum. It will not send email about message. He only see it if read the forum.
No. Player email is very private and important information for account. No way would arena net let other player know that information. Sorry you will need to try to find your friend other way.
Old news. Already talk about in anniversary sale thread.
Also extra character slot do have a limit at 24.
Just saying, for those who cant get a new one…
Character slot limit is now 67 because they raise it. Much more than 24. Before they raise it character slot limit was 64.
If the reward is improved to make it more attractive, people who want it now can no longer get it.
Player can buy from laurel vendor like other home instance things. In fact when a player buy it cost 25 laurel and 15 gold. So they buy it and all it do is charge crystal. That is why I say 1 spirit shard a day and charge crystal give it more value. Who want to spend that much just to charge crystal when it is easy to do in world map.
It is just a suggestion to make something worth not much better. I think most player like things that are better.

So it is bad idea to make krait obelisk shard give 1 (shard) on account a day so it is better than just charging crystal?
edit: stupid kitten filter
It is most worthless thing to have in home instance. To easy to charge crystal from other places in world. I just suggest it to do something more to make it have more value. 1 spirit shard a day seem like a nice idea. Some people complain about getting spirit shard. So this would make it nice and have more value. 
This should now give 1 spirit (shard) on account for day. It is now junk only good for make charge crystal. Some player earn this during living story and now almost worth nothing to have.
edit: kitten filter so I use ().
I’ve read the content on the links you guys sent me and i understand everything now. Thank you very much for you help
You are welcome. Look like some of us post same information at same time. 
Free account have many restriction. You can read here about difference in account.
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157-Account-types-Free-Core-HoT
If you bought at the higher price, contact support and discuss getting the price difference back. That’s all you can do.
I try that when I bought watchwork tool a few days before sale. They told me I could not get 500 gems difference back. 
You have to make support ticket. Link for support top of the page.
You can use macro to play music instrument. But arena net only approve that for macro not anything else.
You should mail me those blade shards wink wink
Blade shard account bound so can’t mail them to another player.
another annoying thing is the restriction on mailing to your other account. You get 2 emails, then you get a halt for a while unless you allow time in between those 2 emails. It makes transferring items and gold between the two exceptionally annoying.
Make personal guild with bank. Invite alt. Put thing in bank to share. No problem with mail then. 
Yes you can buy new account. But new account have no achievement, no skins in wardrobe, no gold, no other wallet items, nothing else from an account play for years. So yes start over if you want on new account.
post to Fix forum bug. Say no to quaggan.
Dueling would be another WoW addition I would like to see.
Good news. In guild hall you can.
I guess first two that win are good for guild that like to show they want to cuddle and hug. Not so good for guild that like to show they are serious and tough. I feel bad for the more serious one that did not win. So I guess arena net say everyone let us have cute hug and cuddle by what they pick for first 2.
Free account have many restriction pay account do not. If you want refund though you have to make support ticket.
sense the mac beta still isn’t native. I don’t plan on buying HoT. ANet, why don’t you give use WHAT YOU SAID YOU HAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. Give mac users a NATIVE, BETA CLIENT!!
I have not ever see where arena net say they will make a native mac client. I don’t think they ever say they will make one. I think they make beta client just to sell game to mac player and not care after that. I give up on broken mac beta client. It make me so mad with terrible fps and other problem. I now use boot camp Windows and it is so much better. It is like a new game.
There has been one for some time. I’m on a beta alt so I can’t easily check where in the UI it is but I think it’s down at the bottom under the exchange, a button to click for custom amounts.
See my picture posted before your post. It show where.
See this bottom of page right. Click it and can do what you want. This has been there for a long time.
OMG I just now saw this. It is page of emblems from contest. So many much more better than winner. 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/arenanet/sets/72157655371639663
I do now think it was RNG. Or else arena net what were you thinking about when you pick winner?
Hell, the art styles are so similar on all if them they could’ve been made by one artist.
Maybe that happened with some player with many accounts. If so he get a lot of gems and shirts. 
I almost wonder if winner was pick with RNG since they say they had 500 to pick from.
people saying goto SPVP and find a server is kinda missing the point, I wanna duel someone with the stats I worked for and armor I earned in-game. Not some levelled out ones
You will be able to in guild hall when HoT release. Problem solved.
sigh i just said that in my post if you read it. and far as it goes doing it that way iam fine with it . and think it will be a great add to thos who are in guilds and wish to do this. sigh
You say it would be good if they have dueling in guild hall. Like a suggestion.
after reading some more on this topic. i got to say and will admit that if it is done and Anet brings Dueling it would be best if they put it in the guild halls or in pvp or wvw .
I tell you that arena net has already decided to do that. They announced some time ago can duel and other PvP in guild hall. No need for you to be rude about what I say.
You can see more about this at this link.

after reading some more on this topic. i got to say and will admit that if it is done and Anet brings Dueling it would be best if they put it in the guild halls or in pvp or wvw . as that would be the best way only to make it work to put it in the open pve world game will and would not be a good thing. and i think Anet gets it .
Arena net already say that duel can happen in guild hall. Guild hall player can duel 1v1 or PvP with different number of player. It seem arena net know that many people do not want duel in open world so they made a compromise. There will now be 3 places to PvP. WvW, regular PvP, and soon guild hall. Only one place that is only for PvE and it is fair for PvE to stay like that.
I agree. First 2 winner in contest boring quaggan. I guess the person that pick the winner like cute boring quaggan because they were number one and two. I can see if first maybe was quaggan and then second something else. I like third place one best. It just seem obvious the person deciding prefer quaggan.
A big difference. Many restriction on free acount. You can see link what free account has.

why not make it easy ANet …
we send in a Photo, finger prints & a DNA sample.
many people with newer iphone use finger print to log in to phone. They do not cry about it like people with GW2 worry about a phone number. Like I said before I use SMS for some years with my important accounts. I never have phone spam.
(edited by Qugi.2653)
You are welcome. Also free account with many restriction and they do not have HoT.
Core game is same for you. You do not lose a thing and can always play core game. The free game has many restrictions. You can read about it here.
https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/95982157-Account-types-Free-Core-HoT
If you want expansion you need to buy it like all of us that want to play HoT. You do not lose money. The expansion cost the same for all player.
You need to talk to support if it say you buy and transfer for free. The support link is top of this page.
You can also transfer free by delete all character. But make sure you take every thing from character and put in bank if you want to keep. Some sever will be full and might be very long wait to get in. Server only is important for WvW because all PvE is on mega server. That is something to know.
Here is more you can read about.

Ranger is not to weak if using other weapon with swap with bow. This is where many have problem. They think stay at range and shoot bow. Because it seem safe. This is why I do not suggest new player play ranger. They get bad habit to have pet tank and stand away and shoot bow. They do not learn to do melee combat which is where higher damage number are. The name of ranger does not always mean have to shoot bow from range. Instead it is different.
how long do you people look at loading screen? I look at it maybe 5 or 7 second. 15 second at worst.
There exist now 3 ways to PvP. Regular PvP and can also duel in custom arena, WvW, and now guild hall where can duel or PvP in many ways. Only one place for not PvP and that exist world PvE. Seem fair to me that PvE not have any PvP since many say they do not want it. 3 ways to PvP and one way for PvE. Arena net seem to find a good way to make everyone happy. I am sorry you do not like it but I think many other do.
(edited by Qugi.2653)
Guilds, in their guild halls will be able to build an arena for such activities, it seems they listened to those of us, me included who said dueling would be great if it was limited to select areas of the game. guild halls appear to be this venue, and im extremely happy they went with it. I also hope that it stays limited to these areas, or other areas that arent required.
Yes duel will be able to happen in guild hall with anyone that want to do it and other person to duel with does not have to be in guild. You can invite them. From news I see can set up PvP in anyway want. 1v1 1v1v1 2v1 1v1v1v1 10v10 well you see what I mean. Look like fun for making a duel or many duels and fights in guild hall. I think arena net even say you can customize the area where PvP happen.
I agree. There should be dueling.
There is no reason not to have dueling.
There is in guild hall. Your dream is true.

I use 64bit Windows 7. Seem you have older Mac. You might have to try Vista or XP. You can find chart here with what work with your Mac. Also instruction how to use driver with link on chart. You will need to scroll down page to find chart for your Mac that you use.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016
That chart also has link to driver I talk about before that should use instead of automatic driver install during boot camp set up.
Hope this help.

Number 3 in contest should have been first. First 2 just boring quaggan and not very interesting for guild.
Instead of artificially making people think their accounts are safe through shady practices like collecting peoples phone numbers, maybe anet should be teaching people proper security. Like requiring better passwords and encouraging different passwords for different things.
I have been using SMS on all important online account that let me do it. I have done this for about 2 years. I never get a phone call from advertiser not 1 time ever. I think you are just paranoid. 
You can not play on China server. China is a different client. For Oceanic server arena net would not be able to make just 1. They would have to make 3 because WvW.
Since last few patch GW2 on my 2012 iMac run like trash. Very low FPS 20-25 in medium busy area. Many problem with graphics messed up. This example of problem I had many times.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/MAC-New-problem-with-graphics/first#post5415294
I decide to run it with boot camp Windows 7. So I install it and now GW2 is very good. I get 50-65 FPS in areas like DR and LA on most medium setting. About 30 FPS with busy boss fight. It looks so amazing. Like a new game I never have seen.
Here is what I did. I install Windows 7 with boot camp. Not too hard to do Internet has instruction. There is small trick. When it ask to install apple driver during boot camp do not use that. The new one cause install problem. I download driver from website instead. Instruction on the apple website on how to do this. I set partition of 150GB much more than need but if I want to play other games later. Pick right partition size because can not change later unless start over. When done install graphic card driver in Windows so it work with card. Change power setting in Windows to high for more FPS.
Playing Windows boot camp look so much better. No problem at all. It is amazing like a new fancy game it look so good. I only use boot camp for GW2. Nothing else. I do not like Windows and virus so I add Avast to be safe. My iMac has Nvidia graphic card so I do not no how it look with other card.
I suggest this. No more broken mac client. Also you will need flash drive at least 16GB to do boot camp install. The flash drive will erase so do not have things in it you want.
I hope this help some that are tired of broken mac client terrible FPS and bug. I am busy person but send message if you have question. I will help if I can.

I very strong suggest boot camp. I just did that with my iMac use Windows 7. I get 50-65 FPS in areas like DR and LA on most medium setting. I get 30 FPS at boss fights. It look so great I can not believe it. I did not want to do boot camp for a long time because I do not like Windows. I only use boot camp for GW2 so not worried about virus. I did install Avast for being safe. 
A few people report this. You can just delete the extra I think. The outfit is nice and was a nice gift for people that have been playing GW2.
