Evidently, someone found a way to exceed the party size limit:

i remember a few weeks ago, there was one in ToA forming a group to UW.
he wrote an exploit that would alow an over sized party.Meanigng if you download his little exploit you should load in a map with 8 humans and each would have 3 heros, for a party of 32/8. This kid got us all on vent, and proved that his exploit worked but mapping out and loadn in with his own extra 3 heros to make the party11/8,and then gave the link once everyone was all fascinated by how he did that.. i did not trust it so i asked question.

Not a whole lot of information is known about the exploit but you can read about it on this thread. And the corresponding game update here.

Confirmation screenshot of the strings in the dat file

Guild Cast, the Guild Wars podcast, has come to an end. Thanks for 96 awesome episodes Shawn.

Evidence of an auction house/trade market has been found in the gw.dat file:

The Marketplace List has been deprecated. Please travel to Xunlai Market and look for the market button in the party panel. Thank you for testing this feature!
Trading Post List[s]
You cannot drop your %str1% while it is listed in the Marketplace.

Your %str1% cannot be sold in the marketplace because it is customized.
Your %str1% cannot be sold in the marketplace because it is currently equipped.
Your %str1% cannot be sold in the marketplace because it is not tradable.
Your %str1% cannot be sold in the marketplace because it is unidentified.
You must first select an item to sell.

These strings have been added fairly recently, so there is a pretty good chance that this is legitimate. Although, the official word from Gaile has been:

What is the Xunlai Market and why do you ask?

You can view the on going speculation threads here and here.

Guild wars has awesome pop culture references.

There is a wonderful thread full of Little Known Guild Wars Facts on GuildWarsGuru.com.
I have listed the bulk of them below. I do not know if they are 100% accurate. Enjoy!

Interesting and useful:

• Ghost-in-the-boxes and Snowman summoners when they disappear after being activated, they trigger Necromancers’ Soul Reaping primary attribute. If correctly timed, your Necromancer can get an energy boost when you need it for some reason. These “deaths” also count towards “I Will Avenge You!”, making solo IWAY a possibility, although an expensive one.
• With projectiles, all effects, including weapon effects, are considered when the projectile reaches the target.
• Xunlai Agent is the only NPC that you can talk to, move away, and still be working with.
• An attack has the following percent chances to hit the corresponding part of your armor (if there is no armor, AL turns to 0 for that part) – 12.5% head, 37.5% chest, 12.5% hands, 25% legs, 12.5% feet. Damage reduction or armor from runes, weapons, shields, offhands, and skills are global meaning they come into effect no matter where you are hit.
• Unidentified armors are often worth more than the rune itself…If you get an unidentified armor, ID it, check the trader price for buying that armor, compare it to the ID’d armor price, see if it is worth salvaging.
• Skills activate before skills that trigger when something happens. Example: Orison of healing will heal you before Backfire deals it’s damage for casting a spell.
• White items can be Identified. This not only shows their value, but also increases it. Only effectively useful on near-max items.
• If you hold CTRL while doing certain actions or clicking on certain things, you will announce them in Team chat.
• Targeting someone, holding ctrl, and pressing enter sends a whisper to them.
• Do /kneel in front of statues of Gods, while your region has favor, talk to the avatar to get bonuses for donations.
• Longbows and flatbows have the same range. Longbows have a shorter arc, so are more accurate (less time to move out of the way) while flatbows have a quicker refire time (same refire rate as shortbows.) Recurve bows have the overall best combination of range, refire, and flight time for interrupting, while longbows or flatbows are best for pulling.
• Vampiric weapons do more overall DPS than any other mod against a variety of enemies. Elemental weapons do more damage against enemies that are weak against that element, but do less against enemies with no special weakness or strong against that element. Sundering beats elemental out only when fighting enemies strong against the element. Given a high enough sample size, anyway.
• Holy damage and shadow damage are unaffected by armor. Light, chaos, and dark damage are affected by armor, but there are no armor types that offer a specific bonus against them. Holy and light damage both do double-damage to undead.
• Pressing Shift+F10 brings up Frame Time and Network Traffic graphs. Press Tab to switch between them.

Interesting but worthless:

• You can be level one at Ring of Fire.
• Although most alcohols last 1 minute, some last 3 or even 5 minutes in length. There is a drunken time cap of 5 minutes, meaning that if you drink 6 minutes worth of alcohol at once, it alone will only last 5 minutes.
• Icy Dragon Swords are always max damage, blue, 15^50… they come from one place: Ice Imps in Mineral Springs. They are also probably the only time someone would find a blue with perfect mods, since perfect mod blue drops are very rare.
• For Nigthfall Collector’s Edition, doing /dancenew followed by /dance or another looping emote will do the regular emote, but with the /dancenew collector’s edition special effects.
• You can whisper yourself. You can also add some in-game characters to your friends list, although you cannot whisper them.
• Doubleclick dye and click on your backpack/belt/bags to change it’s color.
• All Ascalon Guards in Old Ascalon will have the dialog of a male even if it is a female who you speak to. Gets very odd when the female guards talk about their children and wife.

Miscellaneous Pre-searing Facts:

• If you go outside the abbey in pre-searing and look in at the shrine you can see a ghost
• You can find a hidden ruin near Fort Ranik behind some trees is a secret entrance.
• You can look at various NPC underwear i.e. and some even have secret messages from dev
• You can death level your characters in pre-searing, just pull a Strider/ Charr to a res shrine and let them kill you after some deaths they level up then if you kill them you get more xp.
• When in pre, over the wall, if you get any casters in the groups of charr if you pull and then run so that the Malay NPC’s withdraw if you wait, the caster NPC will engage you one at a time, makes for easy solo over the wall.
• You can stand with the king viewing the Charr frontal assault
• You can use runes on your armour in pre, just need to find a player with the sup salvage kit; will cost 30k to 80k for one use.
• You can farm ale in pre-searing from the bear hunters near Fort Ranik if you are after the drinking title.
• You can tame a bear in pre, just have 2nd player aggro the bear, you stay just out or aggro range. On the bears 4th attack it will use brutal maul skill. When the bear uses the maul skill you cast charm. The 2nd player who has the aggro should start running in the opposite direction as soon as the bear starts the maul attack so that they pull the bear away. If you time it you will get the bear.

Forbidden Knowledge:

• Gwen is behind the Lich, Abaddon, Shiro, the Searing, the Destruction of Orr, the Mantids in Sunqua Vale, White Dye’s Outreageous Price and the nerfing of Farm Builds…….

What is the Hardest thing to do in every MMORPG?

The latest update to Guild Wars added a cool feature on the Isle of the Nameless: the Master of Damage and the Master of Interrupts. Now we finally have a way to compare raw DPS of builds and teambuilds.

What is the Hardest thing to do in every MMORPG?

Big changes coming to Guild Wars PVP. Andrew Patrick, the PvP Community Coordinator for Guild Wars, explains the changes in the latest Dev Update:

We are releasing an anti-griefing system for game types that use randomly formed teams, such as Random Arenas, Alliance Battles, and Competitive Missions. We hope to accomplish two ends: first, to deter players who leech rewards while not playing; second, to limit rewards for players who leave games prematurely.

Read in full here.

These changes sound great. I do not played a lot of PVP, but the few times I have there are always griefers, AFKers and leechers.

This is a followup to my last post. Gaile Gray (ArenaNet Community Relations Manager) sheds some light on the new mini pet and reveals the Guild Wars Special Edition PC Gamer:

* We will provide information for you today (18 Sept) at Noon Pacific. That’s when it was scheduled to be posted, as that was supposed to be a week in advance.
* The mag officially hits shelves on September 25th, so if you’re seeing it in a store, it’s early.
* The magazine is North American only, sorry. The NCsoft Europe Marketing Team devised another giveaway for several European countries, as you’re probably aware.
* I am sorry, I do not know if this issue will be sent to subscribers or not. It could be an extra edition, I’m just not sure. (But will try to find out.)
* This is an exclusive Guild Wars Issue, the first ever of its kind by PC Gamer. They approached us with the idea not too long ago, and I do think you’ll be pleased with all the art, all the info, and the helpful walk-through of the primary repeatable quests for GW:EN.
* Yes, there is information about Guild Wars 2, as written by Ree Soesbee, who is a team member you may not have met yet but will get to hear from more in the future. (Nice person, too!)
* Retail cost: $9.95.
* Miniature: Priceless.

Found here.

I have no idea if this is true…. According to this thread, the October edition of PC Gamer is going to have a code for a mini sinew.
