I just went to the GW site (to see what all the latest frikkin' updates were about) when I was presented with this:

Network News

This is a temporary entry page for the Guild Wars Official Site. Due to extraordinarily high traffic, we have placed this page to provide you immediate access to current Network News. You may click through to visit the Guild Wars site at this link.

Due to a server error, Guild Wars experienced an unintentional reset of the traders. For nearly an hour, traders were selling items at unrealistically low prices. Due to the harmful impact that such an event would cause to the game economy, we are rolling back the entire state of the game to shortly before the problem began, that is, to 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 21:00 GMT. We estimate that the game will be accessible at approximately 11:00 p.m. PST tonight (07:00 GMT).

Again, our sincerest apologies for this inconvenience. Rest assured the gears are still grinding away.

I must have missed the boat. Didnt have any problems. Got a new build alert though.

oh bummer... will check tonight after badmington... all that dwarve genocide i underwent for nothing...

Yeah, I got the new build alert last night, then my connection reset

Well, according to the note, they will reset it to 23h00 of 13th March (our time), and the game will be back up by 9am this morning, so if all your err...pnwage occurred before 11pm, then you should be fine.
Fortunately I knocked off a while before then.

Sound like people were buying Superior Absorbtion runes etc like there was no tomorrow. It they did not roll back, the GW economy would have been practically destroyed.
