Okay, I am just going to go over a bunch of Ideas and stuff. Some of them I have never heard (though someone might have already posted it) and some I have heard from other players. Here they are:

1. There is a lot of Guild Content that is excellent. However, Guild A. and Guild B. both get the Druids Hall Both of these halls are exactly the same. While it may just be me, I think it kind of takes away from the fun that there is a certain number of halls that can all be made exactly like another hall of the same name (through guild appliances). Guild appliances are pretty much the only thing that can be bought for a guild, and lots of people loved what they did. But, personally, I think there could be more. I have heard some people talk about adding catapults, but this would offset the GvG balance. Arenanet seems to be rather good at balancing out things that are uneven, but I think just some sort of customization in appearence or something would make it a little bit more enjoyable.

2. This one might sound a little odd, but I have heard others say this too. The new chapters are great and fun. But they are very big to be played on a 6 month period for a casual gamer. Personally, I think it would be cool to have maybe a small $30 expansion to a previous game. Maybe something bigger than sorrow's furnace, but smaller than factions. This could be the expansion for the first 6 months, followed by a new game.

3. An idea that I heard from another person that sounded awsome:The person said for a new game/expansion, making a game that goes before prophecies, back to the Guild Wars themselves. This would add a great deal of interesting flavour to the game and could easily intoduce some new PvP gameplay as well.

4. This may just be me, but I sort of feel as though the games are starting to sway from a fantasy feel into a real world feel. When prophecies came out it had great elements in terms of land. While the other two games are great, the fact that they are based on real world places makes it feel more real-worldish and not so fantasy. If the games were to be based on real world stuff, I think heavy mythological places would be great. For example, an old Norse civilization with Viking type themes, or a Medieval setting with large castles and villages and stuff.

5. Sort of on the note of the previous, I almost feel that the games are starting to sway from the original lore set up. New land will probably start to drift more and more from the original lore until they will have to make an entirely new series of games. I was really interested in the lore of the destroyed land of Orr, I wish there was more to learn about it.

6. A New money-making element: Something in many other MMO's that I wish we could do is having an alternate source of money-making. If you think about it, fighting is just about the only way to make money (unless you count running, power-leveling,etc) I think there should be some sort of thing such as mining,craftin,etc. Not necessarily those, they are just examples, but I wish there was some other ways to make a little bit of extra money.

7. Other races would be cool. Personally, humans can be a little boring, but if not introducing new playable races, some common fantasy races such as elves would be interesting as friendly NPC's

8. An idea for a new profession: A Dragon/Wyvern Lord. Something that when you make your character, you also design a dragon to ride. From here you hit "Create Character" and you start as a level 1 Dragon/Wyvern Lord with a Un-hatched dragon egg. As you start, there will be things you must do to hatch your dragon and then raise it until it is ride-able. The weapon of choice would be a Lance.
I am not exactly sure how the effects of a dragon would be offset, but it would probably be something like a ranger pet.
You could use the Attributes:
Lance Mastery
Dragon Mastery
and a few others.

Just some ideas that I thought would be kind of cool.

If you could make lots of comments and give lots of feedback, that would be most excellent. Thanks

You are limited to one idea per thread and keep in mind that Guild Wars is not an official MMO/RPG. Also, if you want to suggest a new class go to the "Concept Class" section of the forums.

READ FIRST - Suggestion Forum Guidelines

Quote:

Always use the search button before posting a new thread to see if your ideas been suggested before.
Always check the stickied Index of Ideas to see if your idea can be found in there.
If your idea is a slight change of another suggestion that's already been suggested, don't post a new thread on it, post it in the existing thread and continue the discussion over the general idea.
Make sure your thread titles list your idea. Don't post threads with vague titles like "Greatest Suggestion Yet" when only in your post do you discuss your suggestion. Make sure your thread title states your idea, to keep things organized and less confusing.
The practice of posting simple 'bumps' to threads when nobody is responding is discouraged here, and threads seen being 'bumped' without good reason and nothing new to add, will be closed. If you are going to 'bump' a thread, do so after a reasonable amount of time, and let your 'bump' post contribute something to the thread rather than simply taking the thread up to the top of the forum.
Do not post "A Few Ideas" threads. If you have more than one idea ---first double check with the search button and the index thread to make sure they're fresh suggestions, and create a separate thread for each one with a relevant title.
If you don't feel like creating a separate thread for each suggestion you have, post all of them in the Index of Ideas thread stickied at the top of the forum.
Of course, keep this to suggestions only. Not builds, not rants or PvP vs PvE discussions, etc. This is the suggestions forum.
Use the Search Button and check the Index thread to make sure you're not repeating an idea.
Do it again.
