Pretty hard to complete the Molten Alliance achievement when every server I tried last night were missing these.

Anyone see an ArenaNet response to this?


Servers I tried:  Sanctum of Rall, Nothern Shiverpeaks, Kaineng.

If anybody has completed this recently, please let me know which server.

(I have the translation device.)


EDIT:  these two achievements will be extended until May 14.

Looking for Quiet, Fast Computer for Gaming.

ibuypower rep recommended Corsair Hydro Cooler, but I read the fan was like 60 decibles.

Is there a better alternative?  I think I got the quitest case available.

Anybody ever buy something from these guys?

So, this is a off-shoot of an income discussion started on another thread:

What is the "cost of living" in your country?

In America, the minimum wage is less than the UK, and we have no national health care.

Then again, our taxes are (generally) lower.  (depending on your state: I live in Texas, with no state income tax.  I do have a 6.25% sales tax, plus 1.9% city tax).


The reason I ask this:  I want to know what the Dollar, Pound and other currency are really worth.  What can you do for $10, £10 or €10.  (or other)

For me, $10 is like one movie ticket.  Or an average lunch somewhere.

So, I'm no fan of EA, but this is a good move by them.

More the marry-er I say!  (har har).

Seriously, though, change the law.
