Mini-Game Island
I was up one night thinking about a good addition to the game. Something that would be new, original, and wouldn’t be considered something hardcore in the GW gaming community. So I asked a few people about what they thought about a Mini-Game Island or map. To most, it had never crossed their minds, an entirely new map, no bigger than the Balthazar map that would consist of all mini-games, be a fun, easy relaxing area of the game, where gamers could chill out, and get away from all of the missions, quests, and faction grinding. Some would suggest that the area would not be suitable for Guild Wars, simply because Guild Wars is all about, questing and missions, not about fishing and doing other fun activities, because that’s not what the development team has in mind for the game. So please, read over my ideas for what would be of this “mini-game island” if the development team ever took this idea and made it into a reality.
The Island:
The island or, islands, would be run by a group similar to that of the great temple of Balthazar. A group entirely unique in their own armor class, and appearance. The island wouldn’t be big at all, perhaps half the size of the Temple, and available to everyone who plays Guild Wars.
The Content:
The island would consist of 1 main city, or maybe just a place, such as a bar or saloon, very big, places to sit down in, fireworks let off by anyone who wished to pay and plenty of drink to go around! The island itself would be run by an outcast group, such as Pirates or Egyptians. They would run and maintain the place, and walk around assisting those who needed help learning how to play the mini-games. The island itself would be desert or more tropical, both depending on the hosts who ran the island.
The Games:
The games would consist everywhere from dodge-ball, target practice to wacky-a-worm. The games would be VERY REPLAYABLE, and fun, and not result in major competition. How many games, or how hard or in depth, would be entirely the development teams decision, because it would be a free update.
The Currency:
While we have Balthazar faction for the Temple Island, we could have Doubloons for currency on this map of the game, to coincide with the Pirate theme. The Doubloons could be in faction form, or money form, and only used on the island itself. They would be used to purchase anything from beer, to pirate hats, new mini-games, or special features on the island itself.
The Community
Looking back to winters day, Dragon Event, and Halloween, people love Mini-Games. They provide relief from the game itself, and make the game funner, and while the area might get boring, I’m sure, just like all areas in the game, would change, and become funner for everyone. And although this is totally not anywhere close to what Guild Wars stands for, this is what the community (or who I talked to) has been craving since the game came out. A TRUE PLACE TO CHIILL.
