Dude really?That sucks.Did other people get this?

P.S. this is what support said:Thank you for contacting Guild Wars Support. So long as you do not interfere with the Guild Wars client to automate the emotes for the Mad King, it is not a violation to remain logged in. You will receive some gifts as well as the special event hat. If you have any more questions, please let us know and we will be more than happy to assist you.

im guessing its because you guys typed /afk.

lorenczak · Oct 31, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

Yeah, I was in the event that happened 3 hours 45 minutes ago, played for 2 hours after that and typed /afk and went for a nap. Came back 6 minutes after 6 (eastern time) and was booted with a 045 code. Gay!!

Edit: Ok, just went back and read it... it says "for inappropreate language" LMAO!! That's well deserved. Do you have to be turned in for that? Or do they have a filter or something?

I got a pumpkin head! YA! just 2 more char to go...lol

How many more hours left in the event? It's the Wednesday the 1st and 12pm lunch time here in Sydney now, just wondering if I can score a couple more hats!

There should be 3 more visits, and the next one is in about 25 minutes.

So that's 25 minutes, then another in 3 hours, then the LAST one in 6 hours. Which means the last event is at 7pm Sydney Australia time? Hmm, if this is the case, it means I can log in after work and AFK it as I go out to dinner for pizza (yum!) ^_^

Hmm just missed the 02:00....I'm not sating up until 5am just for a hat.

Nice guide though, nice to see someone beside the SoF fanboys do something

Yah, Daylight savings was throwing me out. The chart is behind an hour for us Sydney-siders. Where it says 12pm, 3pm and 6pm, it's really 1pm, 4pm and 7pm.

Hopefully grab one last hat tonight at 7pm ^_~

Cheers,
BFM

Igneous, check to see if any of your Halloween item counts increased.

I'm not faring as well this year...everyone knows about the map trick. So far I've only been able to get 1 hat per visit, so my main char has both hats...tried logging in with other chars, but the only districts I could get in were the ones he had already left. Oh, well. I can get 2 more hats tonight, what with 2 more visits. Guess that's enough. So long as my oldest char has one of everything ever given. Except the warlock hat, because she is a, uh, she.

Thanks for the suggestion Eugaet - it must a halloween item as there is nothing else new in my inventory!

When i district switched to lions I picked up a pumkin head
Went and set up another toon for the hat. The first toons pumkin has since disapeared!!!!! WTF did that update have something to do with that?

Linksys · Nov 01, 2006, 04:18 AM // 04:18

Awsome pics winkgood! I'm glad to see people able to get these items for their characters. More fun, less "I have this and you don't!" I was even motivated to create a new ele character in NF to put a witch's hat on her.

eVeRt · Nov 01, 2006, 07:37 AM // 07:37

As a lazy person: Thanks for the chart!

this is weird .. i cant log in to my account because there are network server or firewall problems ... but my friend can but he's using the same machine??

PieOPah · Nov 01, 2006, 08:22 AM // 08:22

try disabling your firewall just to see what happens. I don't imagine it will make a difference but can't hurt to try
