Site News: Forums Being Updated – Side Effects Seen
Comments Off

We are currently cleaning up the GWOnline forum install, which is leading to some temporary side effects. For instance some people are having difficulties posting new threads, and new user registration has been a little iffy. Despite this we chose to keep the forums on-line during this process, since browsing and posting in threads still work as normal. So if you are not able to post a new thread do not fret – it is not you, it is us!

Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. In the mean time, please be patient with us, we are working as fast as we can! :D

Update: OK! We are back in action, the templates just need a quick rebuild to resolve the issue. You can now post away with new threads!

Charr Contest winner - Odinius

Charr Plushie Contest winner 2012 - Odinius

GWOnline’s Charr Plushie art contest is now officially over, and the winners have been chosen. Auntie sure had her work cut out for her, with a lot of very excellent submissions! The two final winners, each being awarded one Charr Plushie, were satomz and Odinius. Satomz contributed a sun catcher based on the map symbol for the Norn capital Hoelbrak whereas Odinius made a positively adorable clay Charr cub, based on this piece of concept art. Special mention also went out to Aven, Gauradan and tacotown for their submissions.

Major GWOnline site and forum overhauls
Comments Off

As some of our visitors may already have noticed, things have been a bit wonky at the GWOnline site and forums these last couple of days. Not to worry though, there is nothing wrong, it is just us doing some much needed overhauling! And no, we are not done yet, so please bear with us while we make GWOnline even prettier and better.  :D

Community forum announcement about the forum overhaul.

Guild Wars IncGamers becomes GWOnline once more
1

GWOnline logo

As some of you may already have noticed, these last couple of days have seen some changes to the site. And yes, Guild Wars IncGamers is changing it’s name back to GWOnline! Not to worry though, we are still a part of the greater IncGamers network. We have just decided that since most of our visitors are still using the old GWOnline name, we might as well get rid of all confusion and use that name only from now on.

This is only the beginning though, the name change is a part of our ongoing effort to build a better site and forum for our awesome community. Do you have any ideas on how to make the site and forum even better? Leave a comment below or in our community forum!

Looking for Community Event Blogger
Comments Off

Now that the initial blogger team is settling in, we thought it would be cool to look for a blogger who would solely cover community events in the blogs. This would involve reporting on upcoming events and if possible take part and share the experiences of the events with the community which will in turn encourage the community to take part in future events.

If you love taking part in community events and want to join the blogging team then drop me a PM with a quick sample of your writing or a link to something GW related you have put together.
