Impractical idea.

Besides, we already have GW 1.5. Two new chapters plus Eye of the North. Then too, GW got a graphics facelift back there a ways. PvE skills.

Playing since retail release of Prophecies, GW has dramatic additions and improvements, not to mention bug fixes. Holiday events. ANet has done quite a lot!

Sure, we would like to see remaining problems corrected. But at the cost of a further delay of GW2? I think not.

Wow, I don't think the OP has a clue how much work he/she is talking about. You can't just update the underlying engine. ANet would need to completely rebuild the game from scratch; even most of the artwork, sound effects and background music could not be reused.
In short, if you are going to rebuild a game. You might as well build a new game, more cost effective to say the least.

His complaint is fair for an MMO, though, if not for a normal game.

I would much rather have a new game with a new storyline than have them go back and spend two or three years rebuilding a game from scratch just have slightly better graphics and the ability to jump. I don't know about you, but being able to jump in GW1 would keep me entertained for about 5 minutes. I would just fall back into the routine of farming and doing all the normal things I do. If I wanted to go through the storyline again, I would do so regardless of how much prettier it looked this time.

I don't really see the point to this topic. :/

I think fixing up Guild Wars as a whole with bugs, balancing, and a few helpful features would be enough.

How could you not know that... take people from one project to work on another project what happens to the first project.

i think your idea was what they might have been thinking of at first, instead they went for GW2

Actually, Guild War Original's version is over 28.0.

A bit too late for suggesting a 1.5 version.

I think that is build number and not version.

As for the OPs idea; no. It would take way to much time and resources to pull that off, and any SW engeneer/programmer can confirm you that.
