GUILD WARS: WAR IS TIMELESS

This game will combine the aspects of Guild Wars with the proposed aspects of Guild Wars 2 and include a 3rd dimension. When you create a new character you can choose your era, or time period. You could click create new character. Then choose role playing or PvP only. Then you choose your time period.

Era of Growth
Era of Conflict
Era of Dragons
*Names subject to change*

The Era of Growth was the time period of the guild wars and conflicts between Kyrta, Orr and Ascalon. It happens before the searing.
The Era of Conflicts is the current Guild Wars era. It begins after the searing and ends some time after the death of the Great Destroyer.
The Era of Dragons is the proposed storyline of Guild Wars 2 where dragons roam free.
After you choose your time period you would choose your country of birth. This determines your characters ethnicity. You can choose between Tyria, Cantha, and Elona. As new campaigns come out you can be of that ethnicity.
Then you choose the campaign you would like to start the game in. The choices you have are between Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall. Again as new campaigns come out you can choose to start there. Your Ethnicity has nothing to do with what campaign you start in. Example: I could be a Tyrian in the Nightfall Campaign.
You would then choose your profession. At first you can choose between existing professions. Then when new campaigns come out new professions will be added.
After you choose your profession you would change your appearance. You would first choose how tall you were, your skin color, your face, hair and hair color. You would then pick your Armor Color. You are now ready to start the game.
You can link your existing Guild Wars account to your new account and transfer your characters over to the Era of Conflict. They would be just like in Guild Wars with the missions done and everything. But they are not allowed to go to other eras. The level cap may change, but characters that are transferred have the same Exp as in Guild Wars. The have their gold and items but this will not affect the other eras.
When someone buys this game they will get the two new eras added to their account with just the Tyria map. If you have Nightfall, Factions and Eye of the North then you have those maps too. If this was the first game you got then you only have Tyria on all 3 eras. As you buy the first campaign pack, you get Factions on all of the eras. The maps are mostly the same but the storyline and cities are different. The same goes for Nightfall and Eye of the North. Then new expansions would come out expanding the existing world map. That Expansion would add the new map to each of the eras. Utopia would also be added to the game as the first new expansion. There will also be extra expansions to add more land to the existing continents, similar to Eye of the North.

FAQS:
What about the Z-Axis?
Yes the Z axis will still be added to the game.

Will there be new professions and skills for different eras?
No, times change but the skills don’t. Until new campaigns come out, no new professions will be added.

What about PvP?
PvP had no era. War is Timeless. PvP characters will have their own area in the mists to battle it out.

Will there be new factions in the past and future?
Of course there will, we need someone to be loyal to.

Will there be the proposed World PvP?
Yes it will be added for PvP only Characters
.
Will there be other new Arenas?
Yes I would like to see some new 8v8 and 16v16 arenas. Teams will be randomly selected.

How will character slots work?
You get the slots from your old account plus 2 for each campaign you buy. You can buy a Character slot in the online store for 10 dollars. New accounts start out with 6 character slots.

What about the proposed persistent worlds?
The first two eras would not be persistent, but if Anet wants the Era of Dragons to be persistent, then it can work that way. Not all eras have to be the same.

What about races?
Races will be available in the Era of Dragons only.

bit confused,sorry

is GW1 the era of conflict?
and gw2 and a gw1 prequel added to create a game with 3 differant realms?

its a nice idea but dunno how well it woudl work, as the reason gw1 is kinda limited addition wise is by the engine, not sure if 1 engine coudl run all 3, then again i dont know that much about engines.

and the 1v1 combat would be just luck who your up against imo.

Era of growth is set during the Guildwars? or atime befoer it?

Thromiel · Oct 30, 2007, 11:21 PM // 23:21

Sorry its so confusing, but The Current Guild Wars is the Era of Conflict.
The Era of Growth is the time leading up to the current Guild Wars. Like from the timeline that came with the game. 1v1 is luck but its fun to try to see if your luck can win out, or it can be done by class and make it solely about your ability to make a good build. Then to stop anti melee/anti caster builds you would not be able to have a secondary for the battle. Thanks for the comments

i could see somthing like this in my mind at least, if GW2 was the future one they could always make a gw prequel, during the actual guildwars(with missions and quest and the sort), or make it the new pvp only game set in the guildwars.

wouldn't really mind about the 2nd one but it woudl be like Rock,scissors,paper

/would like to see somthing of the sort in the future.

I took out the 1v1 arena because after thinking about it, it would not work out too well. Any other Suggesstions?

assassin shaun · Oct 31, 2007, 12:34 PM // 12:34

i think that this game really could be a hit, but good luck with getting anet etc. to make it!

good idea but i dont reckon they would make it

Thromiel · Oct 31, 2007, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Thank you, i have tried to email it to them but they said to post it here to see what people say about the game. So Please Comment

Rinadan Farhunt · Oct 31, 2007, 09:24 PM // 21:24

Sounds good I think. Also sounds like a lot of hard work, therefore not likely to happen...

gameshoes3003 · Oct 31, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

I believe ANET/NCSoft isn't going to add anymore expansion/parts to GW1 anymore.
Sure they can add in little things such as a new detail or something.
But I don't think this will happen because of the GW2 project.

Thromiel · Oct 31, 2007, 11:20 PM // 23:20

This idea would replace GW 2 but still use its parts because the era of dragons is GW 2, the Era of Conflict is the current guild wars. So it really just combines everything. And if its too much work then the can split it into more parts if they have too.

You burned my eyes.

In this forum, don't use that font, or bold, or whatever.

to the OP. Not signed, too complicated.

EDIT: It doesn't work at all with the current proposed system for GW2.
again, /notsigned.

Thromiel · Nov 01, 2007, 11:27 AM // 11:27

You spent more time complaining about his font than saying anying about my post. Can you please elaborate on why you think it is too complicated? I need to know what to change so people can understand more about the idea

thezed · Nov 01, 2007, 01:28 PM // 13:28

/not signed

You make too many assumptions about GW2. You assume we will be able to start anywhere other than Tyria, you assume there will be the same or similar proffesions.

You also put restrictions on the developers, no diffrent skills between eras? What is the fun in that?

And finaly, your suggestion would basicly mean Anet would need to make 3 games in one. No doubt delaying the release so long that Anet is unable to financial sustain itself.

Sorry, while the IDEA is good and creative, but the implementation would be cumbersome, restrictive, and for all we know goes completly against what GW2 will be about.

Mohnzh · Nov 01, 2007, 03:53 PM // 15:53

I couldn't help being amused by the fact that you included a FAQ section. This idea is old enough to have frequently asked questions

?

Anyway, it does sound very cool and I would not be opposed to it - but I am hoping that GW2 will be a completely new game with gameplay different enough from the current GW that the two would be incompatible and could not be linked the way you suggest. I'm talking graphics, combat system, actions, everything. The only thing I want to keep is the history and the world (with some inevitable changes due to time, of course). I really like the GW universe and really enjoy the game. But it would be awesome to have a completely different game set in the same universe in a different time. Honestly, I expect that that is the way they are going with GW2. But if something is made more like what you describe, I'd be cool with that too.

Thromiel · Nov 01, 2007, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Faqs are from people I asked in Real life about the idea, And alot of it is up to the developers. But they did say eventually you can go to cantha and elona. And they can release Guild Wars 2 then add it to the exisiting Guild Wars like you would add another campaign, then up the graphics and gameplay on Guild Wars. It would not take that much more time. But thank you for the comments
