Which is exactly why we need to find out.

And "technically"; a god is a god, reguardless if he/she is title "Greater God" or "Demi Goddesses"

GUYZ, GODDESS OF TRUTH!!!
***Spoiler***
Seriously, she now has as much power as Abby once did, and she gained her immortality and God-powers the same way Abadon DESTROYED a god and gained that god's powers. So basically, Kormir has now joined the 5 true gods, and they are not refered to as "old gods", but rather simply "true gods".

And at the end of NF, Kormir says that she does not require help now, but when the time comes, her calling will reach the chosen ones, us.

Which, at the moment, is meant to be the Domain of Anguish. Although I do expect, but not necessarily right away, Kormir to appear to us more in further games.

If they add a new realm for it, which some people said Devs are actually working on that, yes they should add it to ToA, but its just a rumour, you never know.

Erm, they already did it. Domain of Anguish. You have to kneel at Kormir's altar in Chantry of Secrets.

Sadly though, there's no other information about them. But a demi-goddess is human/god... so they had would have had some historical triumphs that would have awarded them the title, or had done something so great, it was godly. Unlike the natural term of 'gods', who continue to influence the world in their ways, they didnt ascend from a lower plane, they had always been of that high nature.

He was talking about a new realm for Tryia.

Although the Devs once said they would never do any big updates for old campaigns a dev did post on this forum saying they were considering it and what kinds of Evolution/Expansion (Evolutions being separate campaigns based on the same map, Expansions being additions and/or changes to the current maps) people wanted to see.

Exactly why I would love to know more information about the Three Queens of the Luxons. Are they deities? Did they just do a number of 'godly' things that granted them the title of it? If so, does that make them deities, reguardless of how lesser they are compared to even Dhuum?

Then all the little things come into play like, do they have a church? What do their followers wear to say they are a follower of Alua? Do the followers of Ione carry bows? That sort of stuff interests me and makes the world of Tyria (and the game of Guild Wars) more and more of a huge interest to me.

Albeit, I do understand that ANET can only do so much with the amount of people they have, the amount of outlets the have to work with and so forth and so on, but, it would be fun if they were to do a "Call-Out" and say pay a player who writes true, interesting and insightful information to expand the world of Guild Wars on their main site. And by pay, I mean with Guild Wars gold of course, not actual cash. Which would allow and be easier for them to get people from America, Germany and Japan to be able to write things.

But, the devil to all of this is having one or two people do the call-out, look through interesting stories, information and ideas, and then having to go into their accounts and place the gold to them. Or, enabling something or other some where (IE:..Lion's Arch) to talk to an NPC and be rewarded that way. None the less, it would be excellent way of being able to expand Tyria if done so proper and not allow people to say kill off Glint, Kuunvie, etc,etc. unless they deemed it so for a future chapters story line to make sense, or to open up that chapter, and so forth and so on.

Edit: Not to mention or forget, we need a few good artists too

Dont hire ppl in here plz
Now about the demigodesses.You said b4 that a god is a god regardless if he is great or demi.I will give you an example Hercules in greek mythology was a demigod did he have the same power as zeus that was a god or he couldnt die or maybe he didnt age.
He was just like humans except of his strenght so a demigod may be someone that have done great things and not float around in the air throw glowing balls around and teleport

I'm not hiring anyone, it's a thought to further the details of Tyria and Guild Wars.

Also to add, not all god's float around, throw glowing balls or teleport . You don't have to be a god to do that. A paragon can float from time to time, a elementalist throws glowing balls (and gives you a Glowing Gaze sometimes too!) and a necromancer can Transverse to a location perfectly fine.

Hercules in our world is/was/still is a god because his father was a god. Hercules may have walked, talked and acted like any other Roman/Greek male, may have done great things with the divine powers he had, fell in love, killed and saved, but that doesn't mean he isn't a god. The Gods are what we imagine them to be, they are us, we are them. The Three Queens are of Luxon, the Luxon's are of the Three Queens. We need to discover more details about such things so we don't have to have odd and ends conversations such as this
