So I was browsing ebay and typed in the name of my favourite video game.

This popped up:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Gaerts-Sword-fro...d =p1638.m118

Anyone have a clue who Gaert might be?

I have referred this for a legal review. The attorney may or may not decide to pursue it -- that's not a call that I could make. However, I do know that this is a bogus "Guild Wars" item, is not approved nor authorized by ArenaNet or NCsoft, and such use is a violation of both copyright and our Terms of Use.

(Thanks to Inde for getting in touch about this, too.)

That skin doesn't even exist, nor does that character for that matter.

that can't be right, for Dagnar Stonepate says that line before he kills prince rurik.

anyways, it looks like generic fantasy sword to me, meh not that great.

I know, I thought it was for some other "guildwars" but it clearly says 'video game' on a lot of them and CORPG. What other game could it be?

Dunno, might be a scam.(you send over the $$$ but you never receive the item) But it's useless unless you're the outdoor hunting type.

I'd guess that it's a wow thing, and that the seller doesn't really knows about the games and just messed it up.

Still; there's more than one guy trying to sell that sword; maybe it's some sort of lame ripoff?

Terrible sword for balance in combat, shoddy material, not even in the game itself... Christmas present for the blind?

Well on this site, it is clearly speaking about GW, and it's not on just ebay but the same thing is for sale on other sites too...

If you wanna buy it, buy it. Asking people's opinions are only gonna bog you down.

Maybe Gaert died when the Charr did the Searing ritual and all that was left behind was his sword...

...or maybe not

Seems like this has no relation to GW whatsoever...


lol, interesting. Kinda figured it had nothing to do with GW from the start.

*goes to spend too much money on a poorly-made fake GW weapon*

It could be that they misspelled Great for Gaert?
