Foolish Event: Cozy Café Salutations, favored test subject! I have heard through the intercollegiate gossip data repositories that you are embarking on an entrepreneurial endeavor of your own. Of course, I wish to offer you all the best and my full support and would not wish to distract you for a moment! HOWEVER, If you should need extra flasks of my world-renowned height-adjustment tonics, or any other mysterious curios that I have in stock but do not claim to personally be the originator, manufacturer, or legally liable entity of, don't hesitate to stop by my pop-up shop in Lion's Arch. Just look for all the dogs! I'm right next to the big one!—Professor Smoll

Wiki[edit]
- The Guild Wars 2 Wiki added a mastery bar to the bottom of each page, while also "locking" the wiki's link preview functionality behind training the "link preview"-mastery by navigating 10 links.
- Clicking a link would play a five second long "xp" animation featuring ten stars (★) spinning while briefly "exploding" from the location of the click before then converging at the mastery bar and filling it before navigating.
- This behaviour continued until the bar was fully filled, at which point it would also vanish alltogether.
