OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered
Such a great online game with original ideas and one of the most diversed and interesting PvP of its genre.
Man I LOVED GW1. Never really had much chance to play the second, sadly. I still think about playing my Necro in PVP and doing crazy endgame runs. Long time ago...
All I remember is the beetle race mini game childhood memory unlocked :D
Second had nice ideas too but very different, not a coorpg anymore and more an actually MMO. PvP was very disappointing, they didn't keep anything from the 1, probably because it was too elitist. For me the massification made me feel like I was insignificant, I didn't like it much, I did a bit of the campaign and that's it.
One of my favorite games ever. Seriously one of the best online experiences I've ever had.
What I want to see when I log in: Me and the crew wiping in The Deep/UW because they didn't stand on the button right.
What I'll really see see if I log in: WTS chaos axe 3 Ecto + 3K
I think every few years I’m reminded this game exists, and go in to try to check it out - and I still have some account issue where my email is in use but it also won’t send a reset code.
There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn't already receive the Wow Classic treatment.
I was under the impression that WoW classic came about because nu-WoW was hemorrhaging players to other, better MMO's, such as FFXIV and Guild Wars 2.
Not much need for a GW Classic if GW2 is still going strong.
Yeah. All GW1 pretty much needs at this point is just the Beyond chapter of Elona and 2 professions unique to Prophecies, one heavy armor, one medium armor. And having Prophecies and Factions weapon drops updated to the new system used in Nightfall and EotN, with inscriptions and more upgrades, and making the upgrades have fixed stats like armor upgrades, so they can get their own trader NPC.
And then rig the trader NPCs to always have supllies at a premium cost so GW1's economy does not depend on bots to stay supplied.
There's no way we'll ever see new professions , and I doubt they'll ever update the weapon drops. But they have already done some new quests. So there's still a bit of hope for "Rise of Joko".
I think it's a much much smaller player base. It was successful, but WoW was a mind blowing success.
It doesn't really need it, you can just buy and play it, and it got a graphics update a while ago, so to me at least it looks as good as it looked back in 2005 when I first booted it up
It doesn't really need it, it's been live and active since its launch. I suppose new content and ongoing updates would be welcome, but I doubt it would make financial sense.
I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I'd wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.
As a long time fan and proud GWAMM, honestly it doesn't need the "classic" treatment. It's still online, and the last major content patches didn't change anything significant enough to alter the gameplay in a way that would make people "miss the old days". They added some end game content and some quality of life improvements and some tools that allowed players to more easily solo content, then left well enough alone. It still has a small core of regular players, and has the event schedule going on auto. I suppose they could do some graphical improvements but it's still a very good game as it is
