IIRC, members of the Live Team and Community Relations are the people who have talked about this. I still haven't located the statements I refer to. I don't know if they have made anything you'd consider a formal statement of support. They have made declarations of intent. |

NC Soft controls what happens to it ultimately. They have shut down two MMOs that didn't gain enough attention and failed in the past. I wouldn't doubt for a moment they would do the same to a game that doesn't have a monthly subscription fee.

That was one of the reasons for witch i bought the game ( i bough it before almost mmm not even 2 months ) Readed somewhere in faqs that they not gona stop it but who knows. Gona be shame but still think many players gona jump on the gw2 so really idk ( witch when be up gona be expensive in my country like 50 + euro. Yup for me thats a little a lot money for a game )
Gona be good if they make offline content for download on gw1 if they think to stop it . Anyway i dont think to jump on gw2 even when got released! |

As long as GW earns more then it costs to maintain the servers they will continiue to support it. It's really that simple.
Not to mention the fact that if they shut it down and it pisses off former GW1 players playing GW2 they can loose an income doing that as well. So GW1 will be around for a long time |

My first MMO was Asherons call in 2000 or so.
Asherons Call 2 was released.. and then was closed down. Asherons Call is however still up and breathing, where AC2 is not. I do not see GW1 closing at all anytime soon. The fact that there is not a monthly fee for these games makes them much more accessible to return to GW1 when in GW2. |
