“It’s the end of the world as you know it and I feel fine.” A fitting song for a great game.

So with Guild Wars 2 in the works and no hope of moving any ectoplasm or platinum over and all other things coming to an end for Guild Wars 1 how will you all be preparing for the inevitable end?

1) I intend to NOT FARM and just enjoy myself with the richness and beauty that is Guild Wars 1.

2) I intend to go for some titles such as Protector of all three regions to carry on my legacy.

3) I intend to laugh at people selling items for great sums of platinum that will be worthless in about 18 to 24 months time.

4) I intend to do something with my life outside of Guild Wars and tell my friends to hold off buying GW1 until GW2 comes out. OR get GW:EN if they already have it.

5) I intend to complete all quests in UW and FOW so that I can see all there was to see in this great game in preparation of GW2.

Overall I think a reboot is necessary sometimes within a computer game community. A fresh start, as you will, with new economies, triumphs, and failures. A new saga as you will to create a new GW legacy. ANET I know you know how to make games gamers like to play. I am seriously looking forward to an exciting conclusion to this miraculous game and creating a fresh beginning.

As with all Great novels all things must come to an end. Thank you for everything that is and will be GW1. Its been a wonderful journey so far and I’m ready now to face the new great saga that will be GW2….

P.S. “So long and thanks you for all the fish.”

Shouldn't it be the "end of the WORLD" not "WORD"?

if your preparing and worrying about a game that, probably wont come out til 2009, you have seriuos issues and need to seek mental help from a proffesional.

I remember that song...

Anyway, what I'm going to do is I'll probably blow all my cash to commission some really nice pics of all my characters before GW1 cash has basically no value and artists only accept GW2 gold. 'Til then I'll just mess around in GW when I'm bored until Hellgate: London comes out. Then when Eye of the North comes out, I'll break from Hellgate for a bit. Then it's back to Hellgate 'til GW2 goes live at which point I'll have to assess which game is more fun and more worth my time.

I'll use my gold to adopt a chinese farmer.

Yes thank you... after I posted I wondered when the spelling nazis would appear.. If a MOD could change it that would be nice.

Yah, GW2 is still a long ways off as far as im concerned. No need to act like its game over yet.

GloryFox · Mar 22, 2007, 05:09 AM // 05:09

Yes but by the reactions of the community you would not think so... GW1 has officially ended with GW:EN being the final conclusion. Many in this community are upset over it. I was at first but now I'm not. I am now looking forward to the inevitable end.

AND WHAT A COMMUNITY PARTY THAT WILL BE!

Did you honestly think people who are selling/buying items expect it to be worth something for 10 years? 2 years is way too long, and there's no reason not to play the game as you normally would.

For other MMOs, where expansions that increase the level cap are announced, do people stop raiding/questing to get the best items for their levels ? No, not till the expansion is close to getting released(say, a month to release)

OMG THE SERVERS ARE CRASHING!!! IT'S THE END!!! RUN!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!!! ARMAGEDDON!!! AHHHHH!!! *falls off the bridge and dies*

what some people dont realize is that in the pc gamer article it specificly says they are going to keep a seperate team to keep on making content for GW while the other game is being worked on

Tempy · Mar 22, 2007, 05:30 AM // 05:30

Exoudeous that's not enough...you know nothing is ever enough for most of these people!!!!

Personally, gonna keep enjoying the game. And if I hadn't already, I would make sure to break the local channel as there is nothing but bitching about this now....well and of course the spam.

See ya all on the flipside

Well with GW 2 high chance everyone in GW1 will just move over leave GW1 very much like a ghost town.People come and go in GW1 time and time again people alway craze over newer thing.

Even thou they have seperate team i don't think it will be like it used to be.Maybe they might shutdown GW1 (1-2yrs time)If all goes well with GW2

I want a chinese farmer mini-pet named "Happy Love Joy" that zones out every time I go to Droknars Forge and brings back trolls and lays them at my feet with a stack of Raven Staffs.

arcanemacabre · Mar 22, 2007, 05:39 AM // 05:39

I don't know why, but reading this thread just made me bust out in laughter here at work. Thanks, GloryFox!

What will I do? Continue to enjoy this game as I always have. When GW:EN comes out, I will buy it, and enjoy that at full capacity. When GW2 comes out, I will probably buy that, and enjoy it at full capacity.

no im talking about the 2 years till gw2 comes out there will be content, so its harsh to call the game dead now.

i dont see how long it will last after 2 comes out, but ti is possible it will be good enough that people wont care about leaving the old game
