I see it as a good thing. I was disappointed with factions and nightfall and see this as a better future for gw.

Working and married means you can't play video games? Since when? I've been married for 5 years and it hasn't stopped me

So far I have seen I want I want I want, you cant do that, give me give me give me. It is very rare for any sequal to have a direct crossover of any content, money weapons, etc. You can keep an account name on occasion, but money weapons and skills etc dont normally go to the sequel.

Maybe I missed something in the myriad of posts, got kind of tired of reading all the complaints about a game not developed and demands after page 4. The posts (sorry not going back to quote) that say new game,new start, new stuff, cant wait to see what incredible things start in the new game, are on the right track. I have one character that I have been bringing along. She started in Tyria went to Cantha and is now visiting elona. She may have titles or not. I have also brought a couple of other chars along slowly. To be honost after the expansion I will enjoy being able to take some time to fully develop my little GW family, without feeling left behind or pressured because I havent finished and maxed out the previous campaign in 6 months. Been playing for nearly year now and still need to finish respectively Factions an dNightfall with their primaries.

I will miss not bringing my Necro over she is my favorite by far, but her name will live on to the descendants, worked hard on getting Ascension armor, would like to pass it on, but may not happen. Some ancestor probably will have to sell it to feed the kids or something who knows

. There is still much to do in three existing campaigns, especially for those who can only devout a handful of hours here and there.
I have been enjoying the storylines to date of all 3 campaigns and hope to enjoy them more fully without feeling the need to grind my way to levels or armor or money or titles.

So on that rambling note. I will go back to work. Check on the kids, give my husband a kiss and continue to enjoy GW1.

As GW is (player-skill based style), money wont have much of a difference anyway. Getting money in GW took a long time, getting in the new game will too. Doesnt matter where you get it it takes work.
Saying we are luck they are giving us the titles doesn't carry any weight. I can say we are lucky they made a lv 20 cap, or the HoH or 8 skill bar or even the game at all!

Well i sorry friend, im not flaming you...but face it its a NEW game....its not an expansion pack...a new game

Think of my other All Time favourite Online game series... Battlefield
a system of unlocks was introduced in Battlefield 2....i spent long hours unlocking new weapons....when Battlefield 2142 came out....no one asked to be able to transfer their characters because frankly everyone understood its a new game!

and as my old guildie Herbilizer said.... starting a new character is so much diffrent from starting a new game.... ok when factions and nightfall came out they wowed me for like a few hours...when prophesies came out i couldnt sleep! wondering.....whats over that hill? and what kinda monster will i face?
im still having hard time deciding will i buy GW:EN, might just buy it for the collection factor thats it

Yeah, I agree. You make it sound having a job and being married is the end of your life. You should still keep up your hobbies.. not feel like you can't anymore.

I think that it's absolutely fantastic that Anet made such a decision. The entire Guild Wars 1 series was basically the same game - that game has dulled for me and many other players who have quit since then. GW2, for me, brings hope and some sense of respect for Anet, who have realized for themselves (a realization that most of the community already knew) where GW was going at present rate (new expansion every 6 months, stretching out the player base without adding anything new essentially to actual game play and game mechanics).

Personally, in my definite GW hiatus, I am drawn to more conventional MMO's (LOTRO) that offer more social game play along with sufficient action/combat. As it is right now, GW is completely focused on combat/pvp elements that isn't fun after a while and, like all PvP games (first person shooters especially), results in player elitism and an unfriendly player base.

Especially since GW doesn't require a monthly fee... you can pick it up and sit it down at anytime!

Same here! And with any luck, you'll get a wife that loves to play GW, too!

Well, my girlfriend supports my hobbies, but goodluck to those looking for a wife who plays with you! (...and congratulations to those who found one!)

i think the whole persistant and interactive world is gonna be frickin sweet, but what happens to gw1? do they keep the servers up and continue releasing expansions, or do they eventually shut down?
