Definitely not bad for your first time. If you plan on doing this again next year I would gladly volunteer to do it again.

Community is very important and it's great to see devs get to enjoy the game they created. We all did great! Maybe next year we can aim for 10k :)

Gamers can certainly do wonderful things and it's great to show the world how we can accomplish that. -Kit The Traveler

Also, since you mentioned the mask, here is a pic of my full costume from Halloween :) http://imgur.com/JusUXl9

I fully expect to participate again next year, and would be honored to have you involved again. I think, next year, I am going to investigate the team option with Extra Life. I considered it this year, but I was already learning so many parts of streaming for the firs time, and I wanted to minimize the amount of risk I was taking on. I know there are a lot of Gw2ers out there who streamed for Extra Life. Maybe next year we can all rally as one giant team to represent Tyria for Extra Life :)

I hung out for an hour or so while you were doing WvW. Chat was kind of dead and you didn't really say anything but I still continued to watch. It was during your zerg of listening to the commander from RAGE that made me realize one of the things I love about WvW, which is just talking and hanging out with my friends. We do the same thing, we goof around until the fights come.

Thanks for doing the stream and congrats on reaching double the goal!

Thanks for watching the WvW session. Yeah, I was trying not to talk over the commander too much, because he was so busy organizing everything. Guild RAGE did an awesome job tackling the new borderland map.

Goremond, you were Phenomenal on Saturday! It was a pleasure to be able to join you on your stream and do some fractals with you! :D

For anyone else, Extra Life is still open for 2015 until the end of the year. Every little bit helps!

Thanks for joining us with the later fractals session. It was a lot of fun. Also, you are right, it's never too late for someone to donate to Extra Life :)

It was such a lovely day and so much fun to hang out with you, Kit and the other devs. I love the fact that 99.9 procent of the people that were there , understood you guys were there as part of the community. And our community is .... awesome!

You are totally right! I hope I didn't make it sound like Twitch chat was full of negativity. The vast, vast majority of people that tuned in were super cool and fun to be with.

Hi everyone,

First, thank you for the support for my own Gw2 Extra Life campaign.

But, really, thank you to everyone that helped out with the many, different Extra Life campaigns that went on this weekend. So many of you shared the links, told your friends, tuned in, and donated. Every bit of it helped. In one day, the Extra Life organization was able to generate $6.3M for children's hospitals!

Specifically, though, I want to thank Kit The Traveler. She tuned in almost right at the start of the stream. I am sure you can imagine that moderating a Twitch stream is not an easy task. Kit just started handling the moderation on her own. She took it upon herself to remind people that we were here for charity. That it wasn't an officially sponsored ArenaNet event, and that therefore I wasn't able to talk about unannounced info. I noticed this, and so I tossed her a moderator tag. I never reached out to her beforehand. This wasn't anything planned. I just figured it...

A little reddit formatting tip, you need to use a double break between lines for the bullet points to format, here's what your post should look like:

Duplicate entries for the same guild will result in that guild being disqualified

Shouldn't it be based on the different account names, I know a couple of people from my guild are on reddit and will likely see this. I'm not saying I'm certain we'll all donate (I'm pretty sure one of our guildmates is also streaming for Extra Life) but there's a pretty good possibility certain guilds will have different people donating and participating in the competition. And are we only allowed to participate in either the guild contest or personal spot contest (can we have "Group contest-<insert start time>" and "Guild contest" on the same donation)

You make a very good point. I will change the wording of the guild contest rule. I was just trying to discourage people from doing dozens of $1 donations to bump their odds, but a guild should be allowed to pool it's members together.

Also, yes, it is OK to enter for the guild contest and one group contest at the same time :)

It is possible to delete existing threads, but it is not possible to edit a thread's title, which means that you'd probably have to delete all threads.

In my opinion: Leave it as it is now, because a fourth thread (even with the other ones deleted) would probably get even less upvotes and therefor less visibility. Just keep it in mind for the future. Having one big post not only keeps the frontpage clean, it also tends to lead to more visibility, because people might upvote one thread, but it's unlikely they upvote all three.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. My thought was that there might be questions, comments, or interest in one contest versus another. And, if all of those conversations for the three different contests were mixed together then it would make it more difficult to get the information. I will remember this in the future though. Cheers

I really support this endeavour. However, there is no need to create three different threads for different contests during the same event.

I thought it would get too jumbled and crowded to put them all in a single thread. You think I should undo that? Is it possible for me to even delete the other threads at this point?

We agree that this is an issue and support players should get credit for their contribution.

We are discussing and experimenting with some ideas internally, but a global change like this will take a while to get the numbers, feel, and testing right. Be prepared for it “When It’s Ready!”

I'll be leading an internal team in an attempt to win a vote and take Gilded Hollow for ourselves since the initial claiming event was done with NO VOTING and we were PRESS-GANGED INTO IT. There were shenanigans at the highest level to get the Anet guild involved in that dry, dusty Lost Precipice business. SHENANIGANS I SAY.

Hey there, I made this adventure :)

Great job with this, I balanced gold tier around having the Blazing Speed Mushroom mastery, and getting gold without it shows exactly the kind of precision movement I was hoping to see! My PB for this was 1:15 before we shipped HoT, so see you on the leaderboards ;)
