I doubt very much that I will be playing GW1 after GW2 is released - I barely play it now, except to get the Nicholas items each week for no particular reason.

My wife and I just purchased GW complete collection (like literally started playing a week ago) we are having a bit of trouble getting "in to" the game so far but we know its going to be a bit harder to learn than other mmos (coming from wow / wow clones).

We are hitting it hard tonite (ive learned a lot via GW wiki and these forums over the last couple days). I know after we get further into the game we will enjoy it more but the game is going to have to get a lot funner for either of us to be interested in it after GW2 comes out, but we will see, that is still a long time away.

I cant see myself buying gw2 because...............
well i wont spend money on a game since im saving for a ride and things in rl.. you can ask my ps3 which has been neglected for a while due to my freind taking his cod mw2 back months ago xD

I'll probably log into GW daily to do the 15 minute zaishen training area - earn 2k balth faction per day in attempt to earn 3 zkeys per week. I might also log in to do the short/fast ZM or ZB to earn gold zoins too. That way I can keep progressing on the zaishen title at a rate of 400-500 zpoints PER YEAR (only z9 atm).

I figure that finding PvP matches in GW 1 after GW 2 comes out will be EXTREMELY difficult (except for the occaisional event weekend where someone MIGHT come back for AB or FA/JQ or RA). I can't envision anyone comin back to the codex or GvG event weekends, but who knows I could be wrong....

I will move on and be done with GW1. Its a great game, but its showing its age now and I've done everything I want / need to. So there really nothing left for me these days

MithranArkanere · Dec 22, 2011, 05:08 AM // 05:08

All mistakes and bad designs I disliked from GW1 seem to have been fixed in GW2, and so I'll 'move' as soon as a I can if it runs in my computer.
But I will probably never unninstall GW1. Since they are both games I like.

I will just play way less, and come back mainly just to check updates, events new quests and festivals, if they keep adding them.

Hey, I still have both L4D and L4D2, and they are way more similar to each other.

No interest at all in gw2, like someone else I think it has nothing of the things I like in this one (it's not as though if you like a game of a series you must like the others as well...). And I've been playing gw for only 2 years now, so I have long years with it in the future. Even though it's sadder now that all my friends are tired of playing it, I never got tired of it if I do a break once in a while and alternate with other games.
I can't wait for gw2 to come out anyway, if only to stop reading "when is it coming out???" all the time

I understand what you say. I to am not fully sold on GW2. Things I like in GW are not making it into GW2 and that bothers me. If they have an open beta I will try it so I get a better idea of the game so until then I will say that I am on the fence as to getting GW2 or not.

Gill Halendt · Dec 22, 2011, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Lost my interest in GW2 - I've never been entirely sold anyway.

I think I'll wait to try the sequel before I make my final judgement, but likely its launch will cause me to quit GW1... even if I won't be bothering with GW2.

I don't have time for MMOs anymore, and GW2 doesn't seem to float my boat.

Cuilan · Dec 22, 2011, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Some issues of the first game were addressed in Guild Wars 2, but I would first need to enjoy or be interested in the game for those to really matter. The game has slower recharges of skills apparently and there isn't any decent adaptation of a mesmer. I don't know what someone was thinking with making them spirit spammers with a VoR condition. I'll be sticking with Guild Wars.

aspi · Dec 22, 2011, 07:07 PM // 19:07

It does have nothing of the things I like in GW1. But I expect gw1 to be completly empty except maybe for some american districts.
And there are many things in GW2 I do like so I will wait and see when it hits.

Coast · Dec 22, 2011, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Looks like they are aiming for a younger public (14y olds etc), so I might not play it much or at all if pvp turns out to be a joke.

mrmango · Dec 22, 2011, 07:28 PM // 19:28

I'll be done with GW1, probably. If I don't get GWAMM/50/50 by then I might come back to finish it but it seems unlikely.

dorin · Dec 22, 2011, 07:46 PM // 19:46

I`ll just find some other game to play. Totally lost my interest in gw2.

Essence Snow · Dec 22, 2011, 09:22 PM // 21:22

I won't be playing GW1 once GW2 comes out. Unfortunate the way timely schedules seem to be playing out at A-net, I fear that GW2 will be behind the times once it is actually released, That being the case I will most likely turn to some other game that is more advanced. Much like how there was nothing special about duke nukem after it was released even though it was 10 yrs in the making.

Anyone who doesnt agree with this hasnt "Really played" Guild Wars1. It IS time to move on...Once GW2 is out of course.

Fluffy Kittens · Dec 22, 2011, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Pretty much the only thing I do on GW 1 right now is snowball and snowball tourneys (doing 2 or 3 every day). After the Wintersday is gone I have no idea what I'll do next. I'll try GW 2 for sure to see from the first hand what it looks like but right now it pretty much looks like WoW clone with better graphics... but oh well at least there won't be monthly fee.

Thing I'll miss the most from GW 1 (and I already do miss it since its dead for couple years already) is HA. No game will ever have such amazing PvP format, it's just unique and could only fit in GW 1.

Reformed · Dec 22, 2011, 09:40 PM // 21:40

If GW1 dies down because players shift away then probably just periodic visits to see how things are. Zero interest in the sequel.

Outerworld · Dec 22, 2011, 09:41 PM // 21:41

I highly doubt I'll be getting GW2. The mesmer was its last chance to convince me but I'm dissapointed with it. As for GW; all good things must come to an end I guess...

Wild Rituals · Dec 23, 2011, 09:57 AM // 09:57

I'm moving out next year, so I wont be playing either of them.
