Well today had both good and bad effects.
I go to GWG to see a post stating "Sup vig and abs now 250 at trader!!!!". I log on to find that yes, theres a huge bloody crowd round the rune trader. So I pitch in, buy a ton of vig/abs for myself, then start buying on request for guildies who are in the middle of a mission and can't get them for themselves. Pev's inventory and stash are now full of them. hehe. Apparently shards, saphs and rubies are also affected.
However I then find that map travel doesn't work. I'm not in a party, but it insists on saying "if you travel you'll leave your party" then when I click ok it doesn't do anything. And now it won't let me log back in, I get err=013 on both my accounts.
Good ole anet... in fixing HoH they screw up the rest of the game
