Ok i was just wondering (and plz forgive me if i have posted in the worng place) what is the estimate date, time etc etc to when the servers would be most likly be "shuting down" and or how much longer will the GW servers continue to be on?

A word id use for it is "obsolete".

When will this happen?, or is it unknown.

(ok maybe i worded it wrong but my consern is would this game be finished in a year? or maybe 3-4 years? thats all i really wonted to know)

obviously you are new to GW as you missed when they shut down the servers when they moved into another building and did the major server upgrade .

so with those shiney new upgraded servers i find it hard to think obsolete anytime soon

Well, just think about it.

There has been 2 expansions of Guild Wars since its release, that's 2 expansions within a very short time.

The 3rd expansion is already on the drawing board and the projected release date has been announced.

So, why would you consider that there would be a server shutdown date planned?

Lord-UWR · Feb 14, 2007, 02:49 AM // 02:49

OK seriously, I am willing to bet you NCSoft has enough cash in hand to keep GW up until forever, even if the number of unique logs decrease.

Actually, the 3rd expansion is well into production, but no date has been mentioned.

as for when the servers might shut down, uhm, you can still play Diablo I and II, as well as Starcraft. It really doesn't take that much to run a server once the infrastructure is in place.

According to the GW doomsayers, the servers shut down a long time ago.

if you must know the servers will be up as long as anet has the money to keep it up.

If one day the servers go down because there is not enough people playing I have "heared" that the devs would makes so that players still can playing on servers or something like that.

Un like any mmorpg like wow you will lose your money and your game.

Thus: it is already on the drawing board and the projected release is the latter half of 2007.

November 9th, 2022, at 11:28:01:90pm. Exactly. That is when someone steps on the power cable, and the servers are shut down for a whole 5 minutes.

It will probably stay up as long as NCSoft exists. Say in 3 years, they release a new game and stop making GuildWars (GW would be a pretty obsolete engine, and computers would be able to handle much better games), people will move to the new game and the servers will mainly host those games, but some of the servers can still host GW.

Think about how Blizzard is handling StarCraft, Diablo 2, and WarCraft 3. As StarCraft got older and Diablo 2 came out, the servers were mainly handling Diablo 2, but it still ran StarCraft for the people who continued to play. Same thing happened when WarCraft 3 came out, the system still ran StarCraft and Diablo 2, but the servers were processing mostly WarCraft 3. Sometimes a server such as US-East goes down, suddenly you can't log into any of the games on the server.
