I was going to make a thread about this but I searched and found this one.

Now that they're starting to make things roll into GW2 and finally let GW1 sort of "rest in peace" (I'm assuming there will not be any more expansions or campaigns released for GW1) they should let us choose which background we want to see since everything has been wrapped up! I'm a huge fan of the Factions background.

with the tons of money they just made on the holiday costumes i am sure they could afford to let my heroes stand on the rocks of the factions character select screens again.

Hell, just charge us for the privilege.

Everything they've been spewing about it not being feasible to implement or requiring too much work is BS anyway, charging 4.99 for the service would bring decent revenue with minimal work.

/signed.

also, making the old UI theme selectable would be nice too.

Factions screen was the first one for me and it's still my favorite.

I started GW with Factions, so I never had the chance to see the original login screen. Not that I'm complaining, mind; Factions, NF and EotN had amazing screens (in increasing order of awesome, IMHO). It'd be a great and nostalgic treat to be able to see them again.

This statement is null to the idea that I still miss the login screens! T_T

As long as it's not been implemented, I don't see why we should let the thread rot. It's obviously a popular thread and even 4 years later, people still want to see this happen. Why not give it a boost to allow someone who can do something about it, see it?

If anyone can find a quote referencing the technical limitations against doing this, I'll be happy to put this thread to rest.

Ms. Murdock also said it was "impossible" to do 7 heroes in a party with one player and that is happening now.

7Hero parties (Yummm) That would bring me back to playing full time

But for now just 23 hours a day will have to do.

If I remember back there was also mention of name changes and makeovers being impossible xD

on a side note I still love this idea if they can figure out how to do it.

/signedish I cen't remember if I have or not

Not to mention scaling KD duration.

I want my factions screen back!

I loved the Factions screen, but I really don't want to see the few resources they have wasted on something like this. Come on guys! There are much bigger fish to fry and I have a hard time believing that most of you are spending enough time on your character selection screen to even justify the time Anet would have to put into making it possible.

Nothing is truly impossible, but it's never as simple as waving a magic wand.

In Linsey's FAQ:

Q: Will you ever add the functionality to allow you to choose between the four styles of character select screen that have been seen over the years? Could it at least be changed to use one of the older versions? How about making a new one?
A: No, no and no. There are major technical limitations that prevent us from doing the first two. The third would require far more art assets than I am willing to dedicate to such a minor thing.

Also, Linsey never said that 7 heroes were impossible. She said that it was unlikely to happen as long as the player base remained strong, which it was at the time she made that statement.
