Lets finally get this clear. You can't see if GW is dying if you base your "low player base" by missions we did 2 years ago. Think about that for a bit would you please? Before making a complete imbecile of yourself.
Unless someone can hack GW and place everyone in the same outpost and same district... you are not going to have any idea of how many people still play... which is alot no doubt. That would have to include the people who are actually PLAYING the game outside of outposts too. Which is comparability large when you include PVP into that too. Plus no one wants to do a mission, as like myself, with random people because 80% of them give or take are horrible players and pale comparison when it comes to "common" sense which isn't common at all. Let alone rational logistics... Oh and let me just add that if your guild or friends aren't on as much anymore this doesn't mean the same for the rest of the world. The world doesn't revolve around you, your just riding along with it in the dark. Last edited by floppinghog; Aug 05, 2007 at 11:11 PM // 23:11.. |

Guild Wars isn't dying. You want a game that is dying? Go try to get into Auto Assault...

I think it's the spread and addition of heroes that make it seem like there are fewer people playing. You still see the crowds in the major cities. Factions was set up for the PvP fan, with Luxon-v-Kurzick, etc. More people playing Guild Wars are attracted to the pve aspect than before. Prophecies is great for pve if you like that pace, as is Nightfall.
Also, it doesn't help the way the three main areas were designed. Kaineng was designed by a team with ADD. Echovald is a bit too Anne Rice goth(so dark......). I go blind looking at all that Miami jade green in the Jade Sea. They put too much into Factions, and people just go through the missions if they're a sin/rit and need the elites. I went through three different PUGs in Sebelkeh with my para in a few hours(yes, I did get through it), and that is a mission with no elite caps, as well. So yeah, there is still plenty of interest. |

There've been dozens of these threads. This one is no different. And BTW, there was the double Fame weekend. Many, many people were in HA...even PvEers. It's no wonder you couldn't find a group.

The game ends when you finish the storyline?? Nobody told me that. I thought it just started there.
But then, I tend to treat it more like a toy than a game. How do you finish playing a toy? |

I'd say I've had about enough of GW by now, anyway. After 1000 hours, I keep having trouble gathering up the motivation to play more.
One should never limit himself to just one game, or just one book. GW:EN will rekindle interest but I'll welcome Bioshock and Hellgate London when they hit the shelves. And by the time they are over - Guild wars 2, with an all new engine and storyline will be there, waiting for me. |

This may stir the kettle a little bit but here it goes anyways.
If you want a measure of how dead this game is just go to any town that is infested with bots. Take a look at Altrum Ruins in Factions as only one of many examples. If there is a thriving bot community then the game is far from dead. I will actually start to worry about the game being dead when all the bots dissapear. This is not a rant about bots or gold sellers. Nor is it in anyway a rant about the way bots are handled by anet. I am simply pointing out that a healthy population of bots means people are still buying gold and that the game is still going strong. |

GW kinda got boring for me when heroes were introduced. It really took away
the community aspect of doing missions and so on. I haven't really been on in over 2 months except to login and just see what was going on and since that time I kind of lost interest. I just think the game has serious limitations. It is still a good game but once you have done alot of things in the game already you kinda lose that feeling of wanting to repeat it over and over. |
