What's up with the negative posts? Should I wave to your goodbye, feel sorry for you, pity you, shed tears? Please seek attention somewhere else.

Let's see how the level cap works in GW2 and then decide.
A lack of character-transfer is a good idea, especially since the story occurs several hundreded years later. Men are mortal and so you are you.

I'm looking forward to it, and if you don't, well, this should not be the place to voice it, because nobody cares, nobody will miss you.

btw: DX10 ftw! =)

Hmm, I'm a bit dissapointed with all of this news.
I came from guild wars after playing a free MMORPG called maplestory and left because the only thing to do in hat game was to grind to your next level. I switched to guild wars because I liked the idea of a game in which your strengths were determined by your skills and strategies rather than whoever can pull off the most all-nighters.
Even if levels have no potential benefit after level 20 (Which is the best we can hope for really) It will still have problems. People will start to dictate skill by your level and inevitably, even though they have no real benefit over a level 20, a level 100 will be seen as "better" or more experienced.

I really disslike the idea of not having characters continue. Gaile's explanation and relating to other games where characters couldn't continue is stupid. Guild wars used to be the game that did not abide by the rules other games followed. Who cares that other games couldn't continue? what's next? saying that game X doesnt have feature Y meaning guild wars shouldn't either.

like you know any better? Im being very serious. htis isnt GW becoming wow. Do you know why? because WoW didnt invent anything that made it big. MMOS have been aroudn for quite a few years before WoW came out, and wow really doesnt do anything new.

Furthermore, i doutb you played wow to know what makes it like it is, cause what GW2 is stated as being is still FAR away from being like wow in anyway

People do have their right to opinions yes, but the WoW argument holds no water, not in the very least.

Maybe they can have a special quest that involves Guild Wars 1 characters traveling through time to the world of Guild Wars 2.

....What? Humans can travel to a realm full of demons, but time travel is where you people draw the line?

I for one am definitely not going to be getting that WoW wannabe game called GW2.
To tell you the truth I dont care about the level cap...its not being able to take your roleplaying characters over, I know people with 8 characters or more, that theyve spent hours on... getting armor, weapons... that is all pointless now..someone is probably going to post after me saying noooo its not pointless...well guess what it is, because you know nowhere near as many people are going to play GW1 when the second game is out. Im all fine with this level cap phooey and better graphics...why are you fools at anet calling this an "EXPANSION PACK" ??? oh, you people want to do something about useless skill points how about just giving 100g per skill point or something jeeze. anet you are now a total joke..as if you werent enough of a joke before.

uh no its not quite like that Exoudeous, because im already quite bored of the current playstyle...i actually liked the older playstyles...o0 get it? and I know a lot of other people who do aswell pvpers and pvers.

bye anet I know for sure youve at least lost 3 players. but probably gained millions of former WoW players who are fed up of paying monthly goooood job!

Well then good for Anet then looks like they'll be the most popular game on the market by your logic. By the way I suggest you get a life or maybe stop posting here if your raging the Guild Wars Franchise. Also I didn't know you worked for Anet and know everything about Guildwars 2 and how it will work 2 years before its release. Another thing i'm sure I have more achievements in this game then you. 8 PvE chars many high titles . Rank 9 pvp title ect ect. Maybe you should learn nothing lasts forever... we all will die someday as will online games. O but look galie has already mentioned that achievements will be transferable. Do you understand anything about making video games and how hard it would be to literally transfer every guild wars character to a game with a new engine. All the stats,numbers, variables,ect it would take to transfer characters over. In conclusion im really excited for starting over. Brings back old players who weren't fond of the Guild Wars franchise when it started and is like releasing GuildWars all over again

No Exoudeous I feel sorry for you because your definitely fooled. i know all mmos end one day no matter what...but why were we told about chapter 4 coming? and then this gets put in our face? I think that really wrong. um and yeah i am going to have these characters forever because im not deleting them duh??

And Lifeinthefridge? dont suggest me to get a life. how about you read my post and get over it and dont comment on my life..get out of your fridge and live your life stop suggesting what i should do with mine. your living on this forum, and pretending as if your not the least bit pissed/upset that your characters will be obsolete quicker than you thought. and how are you so sure you have more achievements than me in the game 0o...Im pretty sure Ive got you beat by miles. already even got you beat by rank.

By the way did you know this game is way early in production and you know nothing about the actual max lvl. Nor do you know anything about Anets vision of games. Believe me Anets Devs aren't stupid Ive actually talked to a couple they play the game too you know. There smart enough to not make it a grind fest even if it has a high max lvl.

DON'T BELIEVE ME EVERYONE GUESS WHAT THE ORIGINAL PLANNED LVL FOR GUILD WARS 1 WAS ------------------60

companies plans change, as well do their descisions, and from their standpoint they didnt belive they could make the product work anymore like that. sure it would upset some people, but really no matter what tehy do, some one isnt going to like it.

and if you look at it they really are listening to people and doing stuf based on trends. The good companies are the ones that make gmaes people like, any compnay can make games that people say they want, but in hte end the consumer really doesnt know what they want.

you can get all upset now if you want, but really you cant judge anything till you see the ful effect of it. 2 years is a long time. I remember reaing about guild wars 2 years before it came out, and it was completely diffrent on final release, but i still liked it anyways. cause it was fun and thats what is important.

and no even if you dont delete them, you cant have them forever, one day the servers will get shutdown and you wont be able to log on, and all data will be deleted. all mmos end up like that.

Zorglubb · Mar 21, 2007, 06:42 AM // 06:42

This is an April joke. This is the very antithesis of what made GuildWars different from other grinds MMORPGs, and thus fun.

The Great Al · Mar 21, 2007, 06:43 AM // 06:43

it's hilarious how much some of you are looking into what "holiday 2007" means...cmon, let's be serious here.

Zonzai · Mar 21, 2007, 06:44 AM // 06:44

He.. ck. I think it's gutsy to do what you guys have done with GW1. And this announcement may not be what we all originally expected but it's da... rn gutsy too.

Despite GW1's flaws, AN has never been anything less than innovative. Based on that alone, I'll buy anything you guys make. Even if I think it's more like an MMO than I'd like it to be. And maybe I'm the only one that feels that way, but I really doubt it.

Ishamael Rahvin · Mar 21, 2007, 06:45 AM // 06:45

A-Net has never let us down in the past, after the shock of the article I see the good things that can be with GW2.

I would definatly like to continue to grow my charcters in a new world.

I just hope the expansion is enough content to hold us over, expansion makes me think smaller than a chapter in mission/quest/items scale.

Krum4o · Mar 21, 2007, 06:45 AM // 06:45

you people dont actually believe that there will be no monthly fees do you? for the beta there wont, right now they are just calming you down, the fees will be introduced gradualy

Anna Ryan · Mar 21, 2007, 06:47 AM // 06:47

Something that puzzles me, only 150 more skills, while 90 are reserved for Master skill hunter (to get from 290 (or 291 for some) to 380).
Seems kinda strange to me

Rhedd · Mar 21, 2007, 06:48 AM // 06:48

So I was sitting around thinking about what GW would be like, with parties of five-hundred level 97 pink bunny people running around, and I'm looking at the cover of the magazine wondering what sort of marketing moron thought that cover ("Hot news! Guild Wars campaigns cancelled!") would do anything other than piss me off, and suddenly it came to me like a bolt of lightning...

What month is this issue?

APRIL FOOLS!!!

Hahaha...haha...ha...ha... yeah.

Pillage · Mar 21, 2007, 06:49 AM // 06:49

As a major fan of guild wars I support the idea of coming up with a new game and engine GW.

However I do hope that the GW staff puts into a strong consideration that amout of time and effort PVP players have put into to gain titles and rank.

The beggining post did indicate the psibility of moving over achievements to GW 2. PLEASE PLEASE ANET remember to think of the PVP players as you make this new game.

VGJustice · Mar 21, 2007, 06:49 AM // 06:49

I wonder if anyone else is enjoying the general freaking out going on in this thread.

I also like how many people have sworn up and down that they're going to quit if they can't transfer their characters in full. That would be pretty funny, considering all of our characters are human, and GW2 is supposed to be taking place like hundreds of years in the future. You'll have to equip a Cane of +10 Walking just to keep up!

Come on, people! Yes, this is a massive change. It's also a massive change that's at least 2 years off. Who knows what it's going to be what by the time it gets here. Maybe it'll just be a bland grindy WoW clone. Maybe it'll be so awesome you'll wonder why you ever bothered playing that junk Guild Wars.

You don't know, I don't know, NO BODY KNOWS. Take a pill, get some sleep, and calm down. This is not the end of the world.

If you don't calm down, I'm only going to laugh at you. I may even point.
