"Yes, you will be able to play in both worlds with the coming chapter. But only if you have both chapters, of course."

I think it's VERY safe to say that 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are so unrealistic that I don't believe these are real rumors. I think this guy made them up. They sound more like things he wants changed than things that should be changed. These are the kind of changes that would ruin the game. A lot of people don't see the problem with raising the level cap, but that isn't happening.

But in the end, it seems to me he doesn't realize this is an expansion. Sounds like he thinks it's a sequel, which it's not.

They have no use, not now, not ever. Sell them all back the the rare materials trader

JKing i really am sick of these repeat questions. Search for them and you will find the answer which you seek.

I agree with you and I think most realistic rumors will be :

1) Your character will be moved to the new world where you will be able to return to chapter 1 again.

2) The next maximum character level is 20.

3) Max damage weapons in chapter 1 will be max damage in chapter 2.

4) There was a rumor about 15k and Fow armor about make them a few better than 1.5k armor, maybe for chapter 2.

5) We still don't know what will be the rarity of rubies and sapphires in chapter 2 so you can stock them and become rich in chapter 2 or stock them and see that you had lost much money... it's 1/2

Gaile has said repeatedly that rubies/sapphires will eventually have a use, however they're having trouble coming up with one because they're so valuable (people always by them up because they think they're going to be in high demand like ecto someday- funny how that works

).

I misunderstood the term "chapter". I thought it was part of a story line, part of the roleplaying and thought "chapter 2" would be playable in the game I bought...........as far as I can tell that isn't the case, as my character has reached only level 16, only gotten to Lion's Arch last night and of course hasn't ascended, so as far as I can tell I cannot create a Dwarven character.....I guess until Ch2 release.

You cannot create a non-human character. Not in Chapter 1, not in Chapter 2, and probably not in chapters beyond that.

New content... reward exp that can be gained in chapter 1 areas quite easily. New skills *must* be able to be purchased in chapter 1 areas since as you said those without chapter 2 will not be at any disadvantage. Any quest rewards could just be farmed by those in chapter 2 and sold to those without it as is my understanding about maintaining the balance.

New challenge, new experiences... same rewards?

Prehaps I'm looking at this the wrong way, but that's the way you're coming off to me.

When they say C1 players will not be in a disadvantage, they mean that C1 players will not be less powerful than C2 players. C2 players WILL have more skill options and possibly be more diverse, but they will not be more powerful. I imagine that C1 and C2 players will be able to compete on equal footing, it's just that C1 players might not be able to use some of the new strategies because they don't have the key skills (you wouldn't be able to make an IWAY team if you didn't have access to IWAY, would you?).

There are also lots of other "rewards" that C2 players will have that C1 players do not (this is all stuff has been confirmed):
-new professions
-new armor
-new towns, explorable areas, missions, and quests
-new arenas
-new weapon graphics/mods (I presume that any C2-only items will be unable to be traded to a C1 player)
-new skills
-"alternate forms of reward for high-level players" as Gaile mentioned once (that may not be the exact quote)

WRONG.

from the GUILDWARS site if you bothered looking at it.

What playable races are there in Guild Wars?

In the first chapter you play characters from the human race. In subsequent chapters of Guild Wars, you may be able to play members of other races.

thanks, I was hoping I wasn't imagining that....

This is a forum, not a rumor mill. Thank you, especially to Alex, for showing how these ones are false. Should Anet/NCSoft feel like putting out any official information about Chapter 2, feel free to discuss then. Closed.
