I appreciate your asking and as a person who also suffers from SAD I hope I can give a little insight. I have written this type of post before (not on here, but elsewhere) and it was done more for myself than any individual reader. It's cathartic. Those of us with SAD don't have a person we can 'say' things to in our lives. Heck, even the thought of saying things out loud and face-to-face to someone can be beyond frightening and paralyzing to many. So we write. It's 'safer'. We can post it out there and never look back at it if we choose. I commend Gary for even coming back and posting/replying in the thread. That can't have been easy. For those who do not understand this disorder they often offer advice such as; "just make friends", "put yourself out there", etc. It isn't that easy for us. Depending on where the disorder stems from just following that type of advice can be physically dangerous (I have a few scars that can attest to that). Might I suggest reading up on Social Anxiety Disorder, NIMH has one of the better information sheets that answers many of the common questions. Knowledge is power they say. Personally, I loved what he wrote and related very much so to the telling of his story. My path has been very similar so I was able to read the post with compassion and connection. When I got to the end I felt that what he wrote was a "Thank You" to ANet and GW as a whole for a life he had enjoyed within the game. For the lessons he has learned thru the game and how they have helped him outside the game. He then stated what changed for him in the game and why. Again, that was something I could relate to and was more directed to ANet (i.e the story direction/twist) than the community as a whole I believe. I hope that this helped you understand a bit more than you did. Thank You, again, for asking for enlightenment.

An even simpler method would be to just keep in your inbox a single message from your friend. Then when you want to mail them all you have to do is select it then choose "Reply". This has worked for me for years and saved loads of stress as I have a friend whose name starts with "Dark" and you can imagine how many have that one going on 🤪

You did go into the Scrying Pool room on the left side right?

Glad to hear you finally got it. 🙂

Did you talk to Kekt at the 2nd research team? iirc that was what I missed.

Thank you Santa Charr for the treats I discovered Christmas morning :) It was most sweet of you.

As it is "repeatable" it will reward you the points, THEN reset itself for next year as it can only be done once per year.

In spite of this year being a very naughty one it is extremely nice to see that you are doing this again. Much love to you <3

Was able to get it with the holding C trick although it took a few tries to figure it out TY

yup, lots of us in LA trying to get it to work lol

This is how I've always played due to being deaf and I thank you Danikat for posting it. I hate to admit that I am quietly giggling that everyone is experiencing what quite a few of us live with in order to play this game we love. It takes a little time to adjust to slowing down to 'see' what's being/been said, but trust me when I say that it does get easier.

Happy belated Birthday :) My husband and I often trade via mail and have never had any issues. As others have stated, make sure that there is something wrote in both the title line and body of the mail (EX. Happy Birthday {title}, I hope you like the gift {body} ) as that would show 'thought' behind the send.

My dad used to slap the tv to get it going sometimes, maybe try that ;)

There ya have it Rubi (lol) Get on down there and let them know grin

For any in the New Orleans area I can confirm that they have the cards at the Clearview Ave location. They didn't have a clue about what Guild Wars was (lol) but they had about 2 cases of the cards.
