We're currently having issues with our email server at the moment. If you guys are having problems creating an account, please submit a ticket here: http://support.curse.com/hc/en-us

They are aware of the issue, but seeing it being reported by several people will help it get resolved much quicker (I hope).

If if helps,
I had no problem creating account around an hour ago.

I've been trying since about 5 minutes after this thread started yesterday with no luck to both link my old Curse account and to create a new one with no luck.

Thanks for the heads up on the problem Kvinna

Work is underway on a new resource hub following the announcement of this site's closure. It will be independent of Curse, and is intended as a site made by fans for the fans. It is intended as an alternative to having a corner of gw2guru for us, and will have all the functionality of this site.

We are working on recruiting the mods from this site too. We have one confirmed already.

Watch this space for the address shortly.

The issue with creating an account should be resolved. But please, if you are still having problems with it, submit a ticket to the link I provided above.

Site actually looks very similar to here. Gw2guru that is. Much more than corner.

Pleikki · May 17, 2016, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Yeah i give my vote to gw2guru too, looks good, very similar as surge said, as long as we can get ppls account creations work there and some posts up i think its gonna be good

Yep, I saw that. But before we all flock over there like sheep, perhaps it's an opportunity to do it independently the way the community wants, with no ads

This one looks like guru as well by the way

wind fire and ice · May 17, 2016, 07:33 PM // 19:33

While I would be fine having two sites, I'm leaning towards agreeing that GW2 guru is likely a fine solution. It has the same structure and sections, just a different background. I haven't been able to merge my Curse account there yet but unless there are awful problems posting or something I think we might ultimately get the most activity there.

Referring back to being OK having two sites...I think we perhaps should have a second website just for archiving. A place where people's collections and achievements can be posted, and aren't at the mercy of Curse. A secondary site. But for auctioning, offering and requesting services, etc. I'm starting to feel like GW2 Guru will probably have more chance for activity(i.e. flow of new members).

trademeimfamous · May 17, 2016, 07:35 PM // 19:35

as far as im concerned, gw2guru seems alright, with the gw1 corner looking pretty much like classic guru.
what bothers me is the overloaded site interface trying to be all hip with lotsa bs but it makes it slower.
original guru is nice and basic like a real forum

thus superior but thats just my opinion

MaxBorken · May 17, 2016, 07:41 PM // 19:41

www.guildwarslegacy.com going live soon.

Keep in mind it's a work in progress, and will go live once a small technical issue is addressed.

Content will be added all the time, and it will evolve as we get more input.

just pretend its about 7 years ago and guru is slower than snot on a winter day in northern canada

(I think a good portion of us can remember those days...if not well, you are getting a taste of it then).

and yes, this is still my first choice, but seeing as I rarely get my first choices...I game for whichever is decided upon.

lorenna · May 17, 2016, 07:46 PM // 19:46

I agree it seems better than I thought it would, more to it etc. I still feel though like we are just thrown ..literally.. right in the middle of a bunch of GW2 stuff. Older players coming back wont know where to go...regardless of whatever option we take because for a lot of them Guru would have been the first port of call. I doubt very much that GW2 forums would be top of the list to look for GW1 stuff though. And it doesn't look the same

I hope the wayback machine and other archiving sites do a good job of preserving images for a while so we can collect them and not lose GW history.

Maybe we should use this thread to make a comprehensive list of threads that currently have a significant number of images still live? The banner says threads can be moved over...

Only problem with the Way Back Machine is that it has difficulty with sites like this where log-ins are required to access some information. I know with one of the big Zoo Tycoon sites that shut down a year or so ago, a lot of good info was lost because the WBM couldn't archive it.

There are MMOs that are a lot older than GW ... and a lot less popular. Age is meaningless when it comes to forms of entertainment like this. In my eyes, gameplay always trumps bleeding edge graphical improvements. Up until the day it died a couple of years ago, I still fired up my IBM PC XT to play the original Wizardry games as they were meant to be played!

It looks awesome already. Thanks!

No way would I go to a GW2 site for the real Guild Wars so I'll go to your site since I'm not going to some forum with a bunch of ads and where my game is a second class citizen and afterthought.

Vizi · May 17, 2016, 10:10 PM // 22:10

I believe we should at least go on GW2Guru, and maybe also use guildwarslegacy if it works well as well. GW2Guru provided us the original one, and is also on the same forum as the GW2 users, it'll bring many new Gw1 players if they see it's an active forum, and it could really be nice for Gw1

Tyran Hellcaster · May 17, 2016, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Two forums...where to go...

Do we go to a forum made by fans for fans?

Or the forum of a game that destroyed this one?
