This. But they're not just going to say in an interview "Nah, we'll keep this game going for 4-5 years then start working on a new one" LOL

As far as "Quality of Life," I wish they wouldn't use such an ambiguous statement. It leaves more questions unanswered now.

As far as the Kickstarter idea, it's not a great idea because what would happen is people that donated may get upset because any new content that comes as a result of it may not be exactly what some of the donaters wanted. It's better for Anet to develop new content and the player can then decide if they want to pay for it. But Anet doesn't want to develop new content, so therein lies the conundrum.

I'm not sure what they think they will accomplish with this new information. I don't play GW2 because I don't like GW2, I bought the DDE, so it's not a matter of money. If they make GW1 unpleasant to play I still wont play GW2, if they shut down the servers I still won't play GW2. I planned on buying the 4 slots of storage, the 2 Halloween costumes I'm missing and the merc pack, (I hated WoC and won't buy that set) but I wont be pushed into playing GW2, what I will do is take the money I planned on giving to GW1 and saving it for another game, probably ESO.

QFT

If GW2 were a true successor to GW, then I'd still be playing GW2 instead of having given up on it after 3 months. I stalk the GW2 forum to see whether I'll ever be interested in it again, but then I think, I'd rather make a new toon in Elona and play through everything again...

It's up to the Kickstarter to give details of what would come from it.

Remember when people would jump on another poster and use the "What did you expect, Guild Wars 1.5?" Well isn't this the same thing?

Awesome...this shows even more, to me, that they just didn't care enough about this game. While they love that other one.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 16, 2013, 09:48 PM // 21:48

yes, we do begin to feel like the red headed step child here....

Cuilan · Mar 17, 2013, 12:50 AM // 00:50

Someone I know says there is a bit of an interview of the one of the three Guild Wars founders that still remains with Anet. He came out saying it's limited and that he has feelings of contempt towards it. Sadly he couldn't dig up a link, but perhaps someone else can. It's so odd since nearly everyone I know dislikes Guild Wars 2 except for one person and even he says there's things wrong with the game.

I was or would say Guild Wars 3 would be a hope for something, but I guess now that's gone too. A lone game with its own genre.

Badly I hope the "no new content" doesn't include new hard mode quests.

Devs? In GW1? Nowadays?!

and other smaller things, like proph missions getting exploreable versions and such (several ideas people came up with, that one was 1 example of mine)

i just hope they wont drop us, and hope they will make a few more new contents, like at least the elona one

(another idea i liked was being able to walk over deadly sand in elona with some sort of blessing after you completed elona... i'd love to kill those big groups and a wurm popping up without the team using wurm skills)

plz anet, dont drop us like most people see it now.....

maybe new places for nick to stand.... i thought about this when i thought about proph missions being exploreable, and nicholas showing up in there, lol
just a passing thought, would be funny

I hope if that day comes when they shut the servers down they make GW into a SP/MP game along with editors for single player and multiplayer.This so GW can be hosted by some other company eg. gameranger.

Do devs of GW2 even acknowledge that there's such a game as GW? I almost wouldn't even believe it after seeing some of the decisions they've made.

They probably forgot...

**cosyfiep** · Mar 18, 2013, 10:28 AM // 10:28

more likely most of those who had worked on the original have left the company, so all we are left with is people who are clueless...(and the janitor

).

Mintha Syl · Mar 18, 2013, 12:27 PM // 12:27

Well...we know most left a while ago, but those who have been put in their places (Stumme and his crew) have worked on the original too...have they left as well?

Can someone give an estimation of what an Guild Wars 1 add-on would cost?

ectogasm · Mar 19, 2013, 02:51 AM // 02:51

$1 million would be a believable figure for me.

They have abandoned this game, by the time paragons and rangers get their update the game will be taken off the servers. There's like one person working on GW1, if that. They probably just left the janitor to supervise.

Sure the events will continue, that doesn't take any resources... they just press a few buttons and it goes live on the servers. New items... I highly doubt it. New content, definitely not.

Oh and GW2 has been released for around 7 months lol if they were going to put a team on GW1 it would have happened already. "this early"? ....
