Ooooo maybe it is time to make a new character and revisit one of the best games ever! Hopefully this will make the place more populated for a while at least.
I remember having so much fun on the holidays. Candy corn monsters, Christmas themes in towns etc.
Yeh they always did pretty decent events for different holidays around the year along with some unique mini games like the roller beetle race thing.
I hope those improved graphics don’t balloon the game’s install size to something ludicrous like 70GB, since the original was roughly 4GB
I don’t think they mentioned texture updates so it should be OK?
sky bloom effects, new ambient occlusion, and lighting updates
They made it blurrier to waste processing power and claim it looks better.
Wow! Did you get into early access and try the game? You are so lucky!! 😂
You are smart.
Bunch of buzzkills in this thread. If you don’t want it, just don’t buy it. I’m personally very excited to revisit one of my favourite old games.
I thought the buzzkills were going to be people who already bought the game thinking they had to pay again, but no its really just people who are… Mad that a 20 year old game is getting an update and a discount?
$20 for abandoned game? Yeah.
Calling it “abandoned” is a little silly when you’re replying to a post literally about the game being worked on, isn’t it?
Not only that, this is free if you previously bought any of the 3 expansions. If you didn’t, and don’t want to now, this announcement really isn’t for you, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
It’s a game that wasn’t updated since 2007? And the only new things in 18 years are some grapics updates and very minor qol updates. I’m just saying that the price is insanely high.
It’s a price reduction. It’s cheaper than it has been for the past 20 years. For a quality MMO with no subscription fee or microtransactions that they’ve been running servers for for 20 years. I’d say it’s quite fair.
I am a gw fan, it’s just insane that not only they sell it still (it should be bundled with dragons saga or whatever the complete bundlefor gw2 is called) people say that it’s somehow generous. Running this game costs them close to nothing, that’s why it’s still available.
I guess the price is doing its job of keeping toxic people away. Well done arenanet.
I have a license of it, and pointing out that price is too much for what it offers isn’t toxic.
i mean the game is finished. it has a full story and is playable solo or with friends

I played the original Guild Wars and loved it, although I never got particularly far into it… Have no idea how to prove that I bought it though… Maybe I have an account with them already? I’m excited to possibly try it out again though, see how my nostalgia of it holds up.
You will have had to make an account to play the game, so yeah
I apparently do, and it had 2FA setup via sms… To a number I don’t have anymore… I guess it’s time to contact support, lol. :(
Good luck!
