OMFGimCUTE · Mar 21, 2007, 05:53 AM // 05:53

oohhh cant wait to play those games, it looks exciting! i just hope they dont screw it up with changing the lvl cap.

MirageMaster · Mar 21, 2007, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Again, it wasn't "leaked", it was from GDC....

lvl100 or more?!?!??!??! Naaah thanks. 'Every campaign will be stand-alone.' That's what they told us at the start, or I'm wrong? I don't like it. Guild Wars 2 will be a game similar to World of Warcraft but with better graphics.

The Goff · Mar 21, 2007, 06:00 AM // 06:00

I’m concerned about Guild Wars 1 after Guild Wars 2 is out and running... will A-net keep updating it with new exploreable areas and items and what-not or will they allow it to grow stagnant?

Just a question

P.S. This also ruins current game play because as you play you can simply consider "why am i doing this...it's pretty much pointless..."

Dude, it's a game! Call me when you've cured Cancer (or AIDS), brought about world peace, found a viable alternative to fossil fuels, or found the secret to immortality and eternal youth...then I'll tell you that what you've been doing ISN'T pointless...

(PS Shoyon, this isn't just addressed to you, yours just happened to be the post that tipped me over the edge in responding to the "it's all pointless now" line of thought.)

Anet: ok ok, no gw2

forum posters: OMG WTF ANET, I HATE YOU!!

2 years later...

forum posters: OMG WTF THESE GRAPHICS ARE OUTDATED AND IM BORED OF THE CURRENTPLAYSTYLE, I HATE YOU ANET!!!!! WHY DONT YOU MAKE A NEW GAME, YOU GUYS SUXORS!!!

Anet:....wtf do you people want srsly.

countesscorpula · Mar 21, 2007, 06:03 AM // 06:03

OK, I don't know why people are so upset about not being able to transfer chars. People make new chars all the time when a new chapter comes out, no reason you can't make new characters in the new world/time of GW2. And if you are so attached to your old chars, you can still log on and play them any time. The OP said that the GW1 servers will remain open, and they will have their own special team of devs to keep it interesting (live events or some such thing it said).

I'm still curious about the Holiday 2007 business.

Here's a list of US Holidays in 2007:

Armed Forces Day, third Saturday in May.
Memorial Day, last Monday in May
Flag Day, June 14th.
USA's Independence Day, July 4.
Labor Day, first Monday in September.
Columbus Day, second Monday in October
Election Day, Tuesday on or after November 2.
Veterans Day, November 11th.
Thanksgiving Day, fourth Thursday in November.
Christmas Day, December 25th.

There are many other holidays in 2007 that could apply. I know Canadian Thanks giving is a month earlier than the US. New Zealanders celebrate the Queen's Birthday as a holiday. Mexicans celebrate the 5th of May as a holiday (Mexican independance day i believe). Oh so many Holidays to come in 2007, WHICH ONE WILL MARK THE RELEASE OF THE 4th INSTALLMENT OF GUILD WARS???

Any clarification would be appreciated.

Wow, you people are foaming at the mouth at this level cap. You know how I see it? Imagine getting skill points actually added a number to your level. That's how I see it.

neither GWEN nor GW2 are 'campaigns'

Yeah people are overreacting....but the thing is...you dont know if that's how the level cap works. No one does.

all mmos end one day no matter what. if you think you were gunna have those charcters forever, then i feel sorry for you. all online games shut down, and many never get sequels

bart · Mar 21, 2007, 06:16 AM // 06:16

I don't have the magazine but was wondering whether Auction house and more storage space was mentioned?

Riceboi · Mar 21, 2007, 06:16 AM // 06:16

wah wah wah World of Guildcraft, WOW without monthly fees, grind grind blah. I laugh in the face of crybabies. Guild Wars 1 will be missed, but Guild Wars 2 sounds like fun, and get this I don't like WoW. GW2 does not equal WoW. Most of you are jumping the gun. The final details aren't even close to being done yet.

I hope they increase the skillbar to hold at least 10 skills. The only thing I don't like is our current characters and wealth can't be carried over, but I will get over it. Can't wait to learn about the races, and if they offer special attributes.

Oh yeah almost forgot, I'll be first in line to buy GW2 on launch day. =)

JoeKnowMo · Mar 21, 2007, 06:18 AM // 06:18

Mostly good news.

GW:EN - Dungeons with phat loot. Yippee (if they're more like SF/FoW/UW and less like DoA).
- A few PvE only skills. Sounds good to me.
- No new profs. Slightly bummed about this.

GW2 - UAX for pvp. This is great news.
- High level cap. Have my reservations, but if done right this will be good.
- Global feel due to being able to move from one server to another. yes.
- Big ass raids. Sounds like more AB which should be awesome.

I guess Anet knows which side their bread is buttered on.

You know how i see it? Anet completely removing their philosophy of skill over amount of time played, as theres more money to be made by having people pay to see numbers grow up than telling people they cant beat the game not because theyre not a high enough level, but because they're just plain bad.

Raising level cap + "World PVP" = Grindfest.

OK I don't work for Anet or have any inside info but I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that it will be released in close proximity to one of those holidays.

Seriously though look at all the "they Promised this and didn't do that" posts that litter these forums and tell me why any sane person would give a date certain for anything to these trolls.

You are dead on about the cross over for toons but the people who just want to complain will never look at it from that perspective, If they did they would have to invent something new to rage about.

I'm loving everything too. For the most part, it sounds like these all could be done right and be fun to play.
