Guild Wars server roll back - economy saved

Some of you may have noticed that the Guild Wars servers were rolled back yesterday. Apparently there was a bug of some sort that was allowing a large number of items to be purchased for very low prices, and would eventually devalue the entire economy. Rather that watch this happen, the servers were rolled back approximately one hour, and the problem was corrected. Here is a message from the Guild Wars team:

As you may be aware, we experienced some technical issues that resulted in the need to conduct an approximately one-hour roll-back of Guild Wars on Monday, March 13th. What prompted our decision to do the roll-back was the fact that the game economy was at risk, because during a brief window of opportunity, a huge number of items had been purchased for ridiculously low prices. This infusion of items into the economy would have devalued all the items in the game, and would have crippled the game economy.

We have an absolute commitment to take whatever means are necessary to protect the game economy, and by extension, to protect the items that you possess on your account.  We apologize for any inconvenience that the roll-back may have caused.

We will continue to investigate the situation to assure that a repeat of todayÂ’s incident does not take place.

Thank you for your understanding,

The Guild Wars Team
