It is the name ArenaNet gave, on 18 November 2025, to a series of free updates to the 2005 client, built with 2weeks, a studio of former ArenaNet staff, and sold from 3 December 2025 as a $19.99 bundle of the three campaigns. The servers, the accounts, and the Steam app ID are the ones the game has always had. So the community is the one the game has always had too, plus whoever the relaunch pulled in.</p> /posts/gwamm-day-zero/ Wed, 14 Oct 2026 10:00:00 +0200 /posts/gwamm-day-zero/ <p>This is the first entry in a journal. The goal is God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals: thirty maxed titles on one character. The twist is that Guild Wars got three new ways to play in the last year, and I&rsquo;m doing it in Reforged Mode under Melandru&rsquo;s Accord. This post is the rulebook and the ledger. Later posts are the entries.</p> <h2 id="reforged">Reforged</h2> <p>Guild Wars Reforged is the name for the stream of updates ArenaNet and 2weeks started shipping on 3 December 2025. Existing accounts get all of it free.</p> /posts/guild-wars-oddities/ Wed, 14 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0200 /posts/guild-wars-oddities/ <p>Guild Wars 1 is twenty-one years old and still being patched. Twenty-one years is enough time for a game to accumulate a lot of debris: maps that ship in the client but never open, items that the loot generator can no longer produce, systems nobody understood until someone opened the binary in Ghidra. This is a tour of that debris. Everything below is sourced at the end; anything I could not confirm is marked as such.</p> /posts/now-you-can-look-at-one-of-them/ Wed, 14 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0200 /posts/now-you-can-look-at-one-of-them/ <p>I am starting a long project. My wife and I are going to sift through, process, and organize everything we have kept: the last fifteen to twenty years of my life, and hers, which together span something like thirty to forty years of documents, files, photos, videos, code, old projects, websites, and paper. All of it. This post is the first in a series about doing that, and about why.</p> /posts/hello-world/ Mon, 13 Oct 2025 20:00:00 +0200 /posts/hello-world/ <p>The blog has a new look. The old theme pulled in Bootstrap from a CDN and painted everything in neon pink; this one is built from scratch with a few hundred lines of CSS and a palette borrowed from the ground: umber, ochre, moss, clay.</p> <p>A few things worth knowing:</p> <ul> <li>Everything is monospaced. Headings show their markdown prefix, lists use a plain dash, and the header cursor blinks because it would be rude not to.</li> <li>Contrast is high on purpose. Body text sits at roughly 16:1 against the background, and accents stay above 7:1.</li> <li>There are no external requests. No fonts, no scripts, no analytics.</li> </ul> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo new content posts/my-next-post.md </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">hugo server -D </span></span></code></pre></div><p>That&rsquo;s it.
