"There will be no monthly fee associated with Guild Wars 2 to keep up the tradition of Guild Wars. Mike O'Brien has stated that expansions or mini-expansions are more likely than standalone campaigns, but a final decision hasn't been made yet.

Guild Wars 2 will be written to run on computers with mid-range gaming specifications, but will have higher requirements than Guild Wars.

The original Guild Wars will continue to be supported after release of Guild Wars 2. This will include continued holiday events and tournaments."- GWW

Reading is a wonderful thing...

Why does it matter? Since the year....2007(?) GW was already old. Once D2 comes out, if any real gamer is still actively playing GW, let alone any of the other plethora of exciting and new games that will come out in the interim, then they deserved to be smacked.

Its like asking if a dog will bark in 16 years. Yes there will still be people playing as long as the servers are up because guildwars is free2play. But GW is already insignificant and speculating about whether or not something will be active in 16 years when its already been all-but-shelved by its' producers is useless.

It will go the way of Runescape, just when runescape 2 came out

I've been playing Final Fantasy 3/6 for the last 15 years and haven't touched 12. Does that make me less of a gamer (in the new socially acceptable sense) as well?

Only to an idiot. I'd say playing things you enjoy is enough to make one a gamer.

Honestly, I don't like what little about GW2 that we know. It already seems that it's going to lack a lot of what I like about GW. Yeah, I'm still going to get it and play it. But I've a feeling I'm going to stick with GW1 for a very long time.

AKB48 · Apr 20, 2009, 03:11 AM // 03:11

People wouldn't care much about GW when GW2 comes out, GW is pretty dried up without area updates(adding a new area to the game, with new weapons, monsters etc.) like these seen in REAL MMO(Anet refuses to call GW a "MMO"). And the weekly update just don't do the trick. Anet should use the server for GW and add it to GW2, it will benefit both the consumers and Anet itself.

Raccoon · Apr 20, 2009, 03:19 AM // 03:19

I can't help myself but ROFL every time I hear Anet say "Don't worry, Guild Wars will still be up and we promise to keep the servers running whilst GW2 is around".

You people really think that's how it's going to work? The original Guild Wars servers will stay up for a short period of time while everyone slowly moves over to the new game. Then when the game becomes practically empty, anet will lose interest in supporting it and cut it off, giving us some tragic story about how in order to sustain GW2 we have to shut down the old servers.

They give us a free character slot in GW2, servers are closed, and we never hear from it again.

516 years.. Hm.

In 1493, Columbus had just discovered America (1492). I bet nobody then would have expected the country that would one day form on that land to become the most powerful country in the world.

We have a lot bigger guns now. Dunno if we're going to be around in 516 years (I'm not going to be for sure! :P).

pumpkin pie · Apr 20, 2009, 04:13 AM // 04:13

in the year 2525, you switch one your computer, log into guild wars and find you are playing the final moment of Tabula Rasa, we lost and the server is closed foreve :P~

wait i forgot , i'll be dead!

okay,

In the year 2525, my great great great great great great great great great great great great grand children found in the backyard of the family estate a piece of paper with an email address, and a strings of numbers and alphabets, which they don't know what its for, so they begin to search, and found GLINT! well, in 2525, one would expect computer games would be like real life, so they fights and look for more clues :P~

As for me, I probably won't be playing guild wars when guild wars 2 and diablo 3 come out.

With their Founders leaving I wonder how long MS and Apple will rule their respective Kingdoms. Evolution is inevitable. Vision is fleeting.

And, I actually considered posting this in Off Topic since my little story might be misconstrued. I simply wanted to see what people thought about the impact of a new game on the existing GW economy looking forward (speaking of evolution). Once GW2 is launched what happens to the collective wealth in GW1? How does it 'evolve'?

I recon something brililant should happen on release of gw2 in gw1....
dragons appear as a vision of the future and start killing players....not very imaginitive i know but it would be cool.
I will continue to play gw1 aslong as the servers are still up. Im gunna party and spend every last penny i got, eat all sweets and drink all alcohol i have been saving up over the years

That is when the Mayan calendar ends, most people forget that the Mayans were brought to their knees by the Spaniards so maybe it just means they didn't have a chance to finish adding to it.

Not sure when the servers will be shut down but just like the end of the world when it happens it will happen and there want be much we can do about it.

GW like life should be enjoyed to the fullest and instead of dreading the end enjoy the now.

Red Sonya · Apr 20, 2009, 05:23 PM // 17:23

What you people seem to forget is Anet doesn't decide how long the servers stay on for GW it is NCsoft who decides it is there servers and their publishings. That is why Auto Assualt and Tabula Rasa went bye bye. NCsoft decided it was time. Thus, when GW2 gets popular and the GW servers are empty and wasted GW also will come falling down.
