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?
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 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.
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.

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 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?
I will definitely try this

This is the game they play in The Guild right? Always wanted to give it a go I guess now is the time…
I do not think the game they played in The Guild was anything like the original Guild Wars. I always got the gist it was more like WoW.

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!
Shitty knockoff WoW announces shitty knockoff remaster…
Years late to market, and they didn’t even bother using a synonym for Blizzard’s marketing term for it. Lazy.
$20 for abandoned game? Yeah.

i mean the game is finished. it has a full story and is playable solo or with friends
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.
