ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Keep it as close the Guild Wars 1 as possible!

this doesn't even suggest anything. Its more like a plead... (Terra Xin 07:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC))

If you like the original, just play the original. The purpose of making a new game is to add more features and such things, not just be a graphical enhancement.

It says for good things it will keep WoW and runescape people out, that is not good. We want a lot of people with different opinions. Thats Massive Multiplayer in MMO. Instead it will be ORPG. Everyone will be the same, like robots. It just won't work.--Catforsale344 17:15, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The original will be shut down in due time. Anet will not fund the servers forever. Rawrawr Dinosaur 17:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Diablo 2 is still on the shelves, and the servers are still in operation. Your idea is like 20 years away... GW3 will be out by then.(Terra Xin 07:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC))

I'd like it if they kept the game as close to Guild Wars 1 as it was in... say... August of '05. After that, things really started going straight to hell. As long as they don't make it anything like the steaming load of crap that was EotN, I don't really mind what "era" of GW they keep it similar to. --Jette 08:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As close to GW1 as possible is to re-release GW1. The problem is that this isn't a new game, and will not attract new players. In fact, it will attract significantly less as the people who have already played GW1 will have no reason to buy it, unless maybe they want to go back to how it was a few years ago. That's a fairly small subset (10%?) of the GW1 playerbase - you just can't win that way. Even staying close to the original GW1 model probably doesn't make good business sense, as there are a lot of people out there who "tried GW but couldn't get into it because of x and y". Addressing their concerns where practical is a good start for making the game successful, even if some of them sound like they came from WoW or EQ or something. Rehashing what you've done before makes your fan-base dwindle, not grow - and I for one can say I'd get bored pretty fast if they did that. -- Sirius (talk) 03:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Moved from article
Relinquished 04:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC): some people misunderstand what i mean here, people think i want the game to look exatly like GW1, that's not true,i said that the suggestion i heard for GW2 that has been announced where good, i would love to see my character jump and swim, i'm certainly looking forward to the higher level cap aswell. what i ment was that the people, not everyone here, make suggestions based on other games. for example: what i mean is, don't make the game look like a clone from another MMO, make it like GW, in it's own unique way...
 * armours must be dropped.
 * armours must be tradeable.
 * mounts. (altho not a bad idea, i would love to see my char with a pimped out ethereal frostsaber or something like that)
 * classes in classes (wich is practicly already in GW1, for example: monk: u can go heal, prot or smite.)

Relinquished 04:07, 2 July 2008 (UTC): please respect my suggestion and keep it unedited.
