Hi ArenaNet,
i have a question about the future of Guild Wars. I know that you have a slim, but good looking graphic engine. thats ok, because online games need a slim steaming engine.
My question is now, are you developing the game engine in the future, to keep Guild Wars up to date to other mmorpg game engines, which will be shipped in the nearby future? And what dou you think will these new features bring?

Thank You.

With every new campaign, the towns and outposts in the previous campaigns have less visitors - this makes it harder to build good teams for PvE.
The new AI-controlled champions make it easier, but what do you plan for the future to stop the players' fading from the older campains?

My question: when announcing events, why do you only use pacific time?

Hi

first, sorry for my poor english, but i'm not native...

Could you please describe a bit how the server infrastructure is set up, and how it works.
e.g. do you transfer my session if i go from one city to another, oder when i go from one city into an instance?
How many server do you use(are these "regular" computer, or mainframe).
What kind of internet connection do you use for the servers(gbit, 10gbit,xxx,?)

cheers

Q: Will we ever be able to stack more than 250 items? Most 15k armors need more than that if i remember right :-/

Zexion · Nov 15, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

When, if ever, will you make Insignias, Inscriptions and Wand/Focus/Shield mods work on items found in other chapters?

The system is great, no doubt the greatest improvement on the item system.

And yet, you retard (ie, cripple) the greatness of the other chapters by not making this wonderful system available there.

On another note, could you please make it so the equipment templates saves every weapon slot, not just currently equipped one?

How are you going to prevent outposts to become empty, as there will be a new campaign (including a new continent) every six months, which causes players to spread more and more? Could the solution be to sell not new continents, but to let the old ones (Tytia, Elona, Cantha) develop much more, and sell this development to us?

Nice idea starting such a thread. Go on anet!

Mpidemie · Nov 15, 2006, 04:45 PM // 16:45

1. which chapter do you like best ?
2. for which class did you need the most time to create ? with all amors, skills etc.

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 15, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Oh i thought of a couple of other questions:

Will Anet ever give us some more emotes such as /hug personx, /laydown /goodluck etc.?

Why have i played gw for more than 18 months and still havnt founds a single sup absorbtion?

Wil the friendslist ever get updated to it doesn have such a low cap and allows u to make comments next to people and be able to group people, eg person x,y and z in a group i call farmers, person a, b and c in a group i call former guildies, and person r,s and t in a group i call Questers.

Will there ever be more thank just 3 ranks in a guild and will be ever be able to make custome ranks with in the guild (GuildLeader for all, officiers for Members) ?

And finally Will you ever make a Saidra minipet please please please *begs*
I know ive said that before but it would be so nice of u *hint hint*

Hi , would ArenaNet give a young concept designer the chance to work with them as a probationer as a first step into the industry ?

Greetings !

hi there. tried to get an answer before for this question but nothing happened.

im a student of "social work" from germany and i have a question about arenanet and not about ingame things.

are there any social workers or workers with a similar profession working at arenanet ? do you think about getting such people into work ?

its very interesting for me to find out what kinds of social systems are in the game. perhaps you have planned some things, perhaps you dont mind about it. im planning to make a certificate about mmorpgs at the end of my studies, about addiction, social behaviour etc.... there are hardly any good reports about that and i think its a very interesting thing about mmorpgs.

im sorry for my poor english, hope you'll understand that and perhaps i will get an answer to this.

i wonder if other people are interested in these things... because with a real good "social system" you can change behaviour of many players i think.

and if you need such a person in germany, you are free to contact me ;o)

ps: go on that way, you're doing a really great job at arenanet!

with the release of nightfall the need for bigger storage has increased (heros).
especially old chars have problems with the storage space.
will there be any further storage improvement like "hero item storage" etc.?

Kalki · Nov 15, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

I hope my question and many others posted here get answered. If only 1 or 2 of the tough questions get answered I'll be a little sad.

Why is there only 1 ladder on the guildwars.com website and it's for top Guilds in GvG? Where is the website recognition for top Alliances from Factions, or the top teams in Challenge missions? Is something being done to fix this and make Factions a complete game, or is development for Factions abandoned with the teams focusing on Nightfall, core features, and chapter 4?

Only roleplaying characters that have travelled to every town in the Jade Sea and Petrified Forest knows what the most active faction farming alliances are, which is a small portion of people playing online. I play Guild Wars all the time and I haven't checked who controls Cavalon or House zu Heltzer in months. I can tell you the last team to take Halls of Heroes and the number 1 guild on the GvG ladder though. Also, 9 guilds under the top guild in an alliance controlling a town get no recognition. Town control and alliance ranking is a central aspect to Factions and it's incomplete.

Thank you for your time and a wonderful series of games.

Any plans to add an additional server to LA and Droks, maybe having one dedicated to the lower numbered districts(1-5 maybe), or to have a server specificly for the instanced areas in a certain world area(maybe 1 each for Kryta, Ascalon, and Shiverpeaks)? Would have to be phased in, and cost is a consideration of course, but it would help with lag/disconnect problems, Id think.

Agatsu · Nov 15, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Will we ever have the opportunity to add seven heroes to the group instead of just three?

There are a few missions that I enjoy re doing and a few that Ive just not been able to do witht a full hencman group. I would like to be able to have a full goup of heroes all with skills I've chosen for them.

djsr · Nov 15, 2006, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I want to know, if Gwen is coming back to the story in near future, too.
Second, will it be possible in future to rejoin a group in quest/mission after being kicked because of a connection timeout?

Firngrim · Nov 15, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Hey,

i have for my part two questions...

will be there soon coming up an titel for doing all quests in a chapter or any other "non-farmer" titles, players can do with their lovely chars with lvl 20? (defender of ascalon title...im a title-collector and sad that i cant get it because of its tutorial position...)

second one is, i think, a little more important.

is it possible to do some "events", like itemskin or banner contestsor something, out of america? i see only PR things on this part of the world but europe asia...i cant remember any events the peoples from there were involved in...

(im not a native

and short in time dunno if questions have been asked already

)

thank you for this nice idea

Omega X · Nov 15, 2006, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Are there any plans to make Guild Wars feel and play like one complete world instead of multiple separate continents?

Will there be any real variation on elementalist spells/effects?

Are there any plans upgrade previous chapters with graphical upgrades from the current chapter that's out at the time?

Are there any plans to evolve PvE past the single storyline "song and dance"?

Princess Yuffie · Nov 15, 2006, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Will there be a chance to bring our characters on the servers of Azeroth, so that they can take over the World of Warcraft?
So GW and WoW Players have a chance for a challenge?
