Seeing as to how people really like to complain (due to recent bannings), how would you feel about being given access to a client that only works for yourself? Sure you may miss others, but at the very least it'll keep you out of trouble.

Wouldn't it be a total waste of money to keep a seperate server running just for that purpose? After all, we don't pay a monthly fee to use GW.

Whats the point? Guild Wars (and MMORPGs in general) is all about showing off to others..right?

Proof that Guild Wars is actually a single-player game.

Sounds like a private server of gw in the future not run by anet.

Actually no, it's kinda like how diablo works but with no server access. Also everyone can download from the same client.

The only waste of money would have been keeping the main server running while everyone wanted to bot/afk, which I'm sure is saving them a bundle now.

Only if you haven't been banned. My point is I'm starting to show a little pity for all those who have been thrown out and it's reasonable to say living in exile without something to retain is a feeling that goes unwarranted.

wrong.

I don't care at all about showing my accomplishments.

I would love an offline mode/private server mode (like you can setup a private server to play with 3 or 4 friends, no more, in order to leave the "Massive" part to the main servers of ArenaNet).
A private mode where you save your stuff on your PC (and the things you do on your PC in NO WAY carry over to the main server of ArenaNet).

If Anet sold such "private server package" for 150€ in the store, I would buy it on D1.

Private servers and running your game offline are 2 very different things. 1 of which is illegal.

Ruining the game for others and hoarding all the high end minis only to be destroyed from the game forever. They deserve 0 pity.

Ah okay, I misunderstood what you were referring to then. Thanks for the clarification. That makes more sense. Playing off the server doesn't bother me any, so long as they can't temporarily connect in order to trade and stuff, since that would defeat the purpose of such a proposal.

I thought that was heroes?

Sounds far fetched gw is going to continue to run even after the release of gw2 so this would be nothing but a favor to the botting population.

belshazaarswrath · May 28, 2010, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Yea they won't do that...They don't give a shit about the people who botted.

Ariovist Lynxkind · May 28, 2010, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Playing offline would mean nothing. all the loot, quests etc are all serverside, not client side, so while you have the info for how X bow or Y sword looks, it wont drop in the game, and all you would be doing is killing spawns of mobs (assuming that isnt determined serverside too)

i think its assumed that by implementing offline mode that these things will be moved client-side.

i vote yes for offline mode, so that the people who claim that gw is dead will finally have full proof to back up their claim.

moving that information into the client makes it too easy for someone to reverse engineer, causing private servers, hacks and other types of emulation that would cause alot of issues
