Welcome to The Library, a sticky thread that will help get all the useful and important sticky threads from the WvW Guild Wars 2 forum in one place! Over the years these threads have accumulated at the top of this subforum and we thought that we'd try simplifying their management. You can suggest new threads to add and we'll consider them.

The GvG thread? ANet looking to support the GvG scene?
For two weeks it was in the top three on the page. It was listed by Anet as an announcement.
So, while not being ‘support’, I am optimistic that it may be a small step in that direction.
Thank You for the {MEME}
I wouldn't make any assumption about current plans, other than "it used to be a sticky, it used to be a top thread... so now, we're moving it to a single sticky."
Hype is the path to the dark side. Hype leads to unfulfilled expectations. Disappointment leads to anger. Anger leads to disgust. Disgust leads to "oh, new shinies! I'm back!"
@Stephane Lo Presti.7258 - can we get a balance issues sticky?
How many times we gotta tell you GRIND IS NOT CONTENT there ANet?

So, next relink is the 19th? Am I figuring that right?
Most likely the 26th.
