Guild Wars 2 February 10th Update

An update for Guild Wars 2 was pushed out to all users earlier today which features the new lunar new year bonus and much more!

In today's update, it seems to focus quite a bit regarding the lunar new year by starting the event with lucky envelopes and then working on the gem store. The patch notes were posted on the Guild Wars 2 forum and are as follows:
