Here's another sig generator for GW2: http://www.signator.org/

Great options for backgrounds, effects, text, lighting, etc. You also have some control over placement and opacity.

Is the BB Code for signatures just www.photo.com ?

Thanks!

**ooh I see the sig is working so I guess I did it correctly**

Wont be joining you guys, I will be at work then :(

This might actually be a good thing for SWTOR. I'm not a fan of the F2P model myself. But, it does usually garner more revenue for the hosting company and it allows people who wish to casually play without having to up a sub fee every month. So, I think it could turn out to be a good thing for the game if they can do it right.

Yes, it's not going to happen until the fall but if you'd like to join KOS (Republic faction) or LOS (Empire faction), choose "The Harbinger" for your server, that's where both guilds are. If you have any problems getting an invite if you do decide to start playing, just PM me and let me know when you usually log on and I will log on during that time and send you and invite! The game is fun to play in spite of all the issues. :whistle:

I've been expecting this for quite some time as well. :( The Devs have been getting pretty desperate with all the subscription cancelling that's been happening. You'd think they'd figure out they needed to start updating content much more frequently than they have and to actually include a lot more in the way of updates with each patch. The paltry stuff they've been giving us has caused a lot of problems for most guilds because the devs have been basically pushing people out the door. They have been willfully ignoring all the "feedback" subscribers have been sending their way for an extended period of time and as usual they are now happy to hear any "feedback" we may have with this new announcement? :angry: Unfortunately, they do deserve whatever happens but I will continue to play and hope for the best.

Would it be possible to get some help creating a spiffy graphical sig? Seeing as I have all the Photoshop skills of a blind chimpanzee... It'd be keen to have one I cold use on the STO Forums too...

Headstart time also announced: 12:01 A.M PST on August 25th.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Guild+Wars+2+Headstart+Begins&iso=20120825T00&p1=137 this one is for the headstart at release.

But tomorrow its the same time except its gonna be 12:00PM.

I know its coming 3pm my time. I suggest to try logging earlier at headstart/tomorrow because they did open a few hours earlier than the announced time for the last BWE.

If the GMT + 1 time is now: 10:37 pm - and west coast is currently 2:37pm then you have an 8 hour difference correct?

So 12:00 noon tomorrow on the west coast will be 8:00 pm GMT+1 time... me thinks.

NVM I know it, see you guys ingame then ? :)

Cool, but does anyone know what time that is for Europe? GMT+1?? Cant seem to find a converter on the net...

Episode 686 - Enterprise - "The Expanse" - 05/21/2003

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=5226

An alien probe attacks Earth, killing 7 million people. Enterprise heads home for refitting before being sent into the Delphic Expanse in pursuit of the attackers. T'Pol resigns her commission with the Vulcan High Command to stay aboard Enterprise. Trip also has trouble sleeping due to the loss of his sister, Elizabeth Tucker, in the alien attack on Earth. Meanwhile, the Klingons pursue Enterprise in an attempt to reclaim Captain Archer as their prisoner.

Episode 687 - Enterprise - "The Xindi" - 09/10/2003

http://www.allstepisodes.com/megvid.php?n=5301

The mission against the Xindi starts off with Archer and Malcolm making a visit to a mining facility in order to track down a Xindi.

Enjoy!

Im going to change my whole sleep schedule the week before so I can fall asleep around 5pm Friday so I can wake up at 2:30.. Grab my snacks, get comfortable, then play 3 days straight straying at 3am

Sweet! Just what we (or I at least) needed! :)

Not at all, but people have been really excited to donate to the event, and we're saturated with prizes! Depending on the turn-out, it looks as though everyone will be leaving with something, which is terrific, and is a testament to the generous spirit of everyone in the fleet!

Donated items that aren't given away during this event, will be returned to their donator or retained for future events, depending on the donator's wishes!

As far as the timing of the event, the next event that I'm planning on hosting will either be staggered throughout the day, or hosted at a time that's more convenient for our European and Australian fleet members :)

We'll miss those of you who can't make this event and will make a special effort to be more globally inclusive during the next one! Hope to see you all there!

Glad to see Fleeties coming through with all the donations!! Love all of you guys. As for planning the next event, Voleron, my suggestion would be to (maybe) take a page out of Branflakes book. When he does the weekend events he usually does 2 time slots. Now with our fleet members being spread around the world (literally)and trying to be more responsive to their concerns about being able to attend these Fleet Events I have a suggestion. You might want to consider 3 time slots and if the 3rd time slot is too late for you consider someone who is in ..say.. Europe to handle the 3rd slot. I know this takes a bit more organizing but it seems that this 1st event was pulled together by you VERY well!! Kudo's Voleron!!

We've got a stress test coming up tomorrow. Here are all the details: http://ow.ly/cFxlE

We will be conducting a stress test on Thursday, August 2 from 12:00 Noon PACIFIC Time to 4:00 PM PACIFIC Time.

Unlike previous stress tests, we will be actively working on the game during the event, so you might experience connectivity problems or discover features that are not working as designed. Any issues you experience are a result of the rigorous conditions of the stress test, and are in no way representative of the state of the game at launch. By participating in this stress test, you’re helping us make Guild Wars 2 a better game. Thanks for your cooperation—we’ll see you in-game! ~RB2

I didnt know about that, thanks for the info! :)
