Coming at the end of January, ArenaNet is hosting another Community Day in which select fansites have been invited to attend and tour the offices, meet the developers, ask some questions and more. We have our long-time staff member and Super Mod Billiard attending for us and would like to get your help. If there are any questions you'd like us to bring the developers we'd love to hear them and perhaps get some answers for you. We'll be posting this in both Riverside Inn and Gladiator's Arena to cover the PvE and PvP crowd.
We'd like to ask that this thread be reserved for strictly questions and that you refrain from comments or general discussion. They've also stated that it will be too early for any Chapter 4 questions so please know that we won't be bringing those up if any are posted. Thanks!

Question:
As the Lineage 2 community is still thriving alongside of Guild Wars, are there any thoughts in the future of a fusion of the two onto a new graphics engine / platform? How will the development of Tabula Rosa impact either GWars or Lineage 2?

I was wondering if they would ever increase storage size?
I would also like to know if they would ever do a St. Patrick's day event just for that day or couple days with a leprechaun hat and maybe 2x drunkard that day.
Will there ever be a 1v1 arena like just 1 player vs 1 other player with no heroes or anything because many people including myself would love this.
Will pets ever be controllable and could there ever be a way to get more pets like have a place in the guild hall where u can leave ur other pets like a kennel so u could have different pets for different occasions?

There are bunch of good questions here:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?p=2217502
To my knowledge, I haven't seen them answered. If they have been, I'd appreciate someone pointing me to where.
Other questions I have: Will anything be done to try to make DoA more appealing to more people or to simplify the aquisition of Razah? The place is almost empty now, with it rarely getting more than one district, and is only around a month old.

My questions are simple.
1. Are they going to keep with the enviromental effects for future chapters.
2. Are they going to keep making creatures with super exponetionally higher damage as 1 hit kills to players, while out numbering the players 5 to 1
As these will be the deciding factors if i buy anymore future chapters

We already have the core classes covering most possible roles, and it must be hard to think up something original that doesn't overlap too much with an existing class(i.e. channeling and air magic to a certain degree). Do they have a big book of ideas they stuck together when they first made the game, or are they going to continue to pull from classic rpg's while putting their own twists in?
But that's just my two cents

Any chance of having "tradeskills" added? i.e.: crafting, alchemy, refinement. Maybe this way we would make our customized alcoholic beverages with weird effects :P

Will GW continue to have a new continent for every new chapter?
Just wondering because we're getting too spread out and it's making the game less enjoyable.

When exactly will the devs be finished working on all the new heroes who are Tengu?
I know they are, because it is madness not to be making Tengu heroes.

Why did Snowball arena have to be made so serious, with no participation award, nothing for losing 5-4, and then make great imbalances in a competitive areas.

Leeching. Blame the leechers.
Generic questions: Auction house, pet storage/switchability and controllability, more storage space expansions, etc, etc.

Will Anet ever implement the ability to change a guildwars pve toon's name that's been around for a very long time? Or do people have to try to get banned in order to change it?
TheGuildWarsPenguin
Will Anet "fix" the ingame store so you dont have to add a PlayNC account to your GW account? Because if you do right now, you can't change your GW password or account name.

Are there plans for a secondary quest title track?

High end area (Southern Shiverpeaks-RoF Island chain)
Elite area (Fow-UW)

Will you ever bring out a PvE only version of the game for those of us with no interest whatsoever in PvP, and are fed up with the constant nerfs that go with it which we have to put up with.
Also are the sudden DoA changes, implementing reconnects and finally admitting theres a problem with the AI due to someone from NCSoft getting worried after reading some of the negative comments on these forums, possibly seeing a decline in the server stats and trying to avoid another Auto Assault?.

Does a.net plan to put and end to solo farming?
When it is going to be the next big update and what do you plan to add?
How many chapter do you plan to create, 5 or 6?
Are the next cointinents going to be linked to tyria and the other continents (like Elona is connected to the Crystal Desert)?
Does a.net plan to make Underworld and the Fissure of Woe harder, in order to make them compareble to the other elite areas?
Do you plan to make any update at the other chapters?
Why dont you make events at the other chapters also?

Will Chapter 4 expand/continue the Hero idea, or will it add something different?
Will Chapter 4 add another PvP form, like Factions added AB and Nightfall added Hero Battles?
Will travel between chapters become a little more flexible than a "port" city?

More low level areas? Why? Waste of space and time IMO. Most people only find low level areas fun once, the first time you go trough them. After that, with the second character, you just want to go to the end-areas.
Result: Low level areas are a waste of time, and they only feed the illusion of your character "getting stronger". More lvl 20+ areas are key, less forced grinding is key.

Questions:
Will you ever buff all the old skills from Prophecies etc., that are completely useless, or will you continue to release a new chapter with better skills, forcing people who play certain professions to buy the new chapter, because it simply has much better skills?
Will you add more titles with special powers such as, Lightbringer, that promotes time spent over skill, even if it's a vague amount?
Are you satisfied with the current metagame in Heroes Ascent, seeing most people(on this board) voted that they would prefer the old 8on8 instead of 6on6?
And finally, can you tell us wether or not there will be new professions in the next chapter, it has been in development for at least 6 months if not more?
Hell Marauder
After seeing so many ppl got bored so fast, does Anet have any plan to enhance the game's replayability in the upcoming chapters??
Any plan to ease/fill the growing gap between GW's pvpers and pvers' expectation of the game??
Any plan to give new/old players motivation and help to try and enjoy pvp??
Any good idea to bring GW's pvp and pve communities together??

Will there be any additional game mechanics added to the battle system in the forseeable future?
Not suggestions, just examples to illustrate what sort of changes I mean:
Melee attacks that move your character.
AoE spells that travel along the ground.
AoE spells that operate on a non-circular area, such as a cone.
Attacks/spells that knock a character back, or blow them away.
New rules in the game: "Characters now have a 25% chance to block attacks from the front" etc.

Are you ever going to add a /favor command so we can see who has favor from anywhere?
Raziel665
Have they ever considered to make a 2nd universal island, like the Battle Islands, but for PvE?
This island would house districts for trading, the Trade House even when its done, but also acces to UW and FoW.
Right now getting in there from Cantha or Elona is pretty hard, only the Temple of Ages has a good chance of finding you a group.
With a central island for it it would be much easier to group with other people who have different chapters.
Guess its more of a suggestion than a question...

What, if any, new game mechanics are planned for Chapter 4?
Will movement within a campaign continue to be restricted, or will future chapters allow for running as seen in Prophecies?
Will Arena.net continue in its trend toward making all items accessible to casual players?

Will Prophecies/Factions armor ever receive the ability to take insignias? There are a number of designs I love from Prophecies, but the attributes on them are terrible (Mesmer 15k Nobles). And my assassin... well I spent a lot of money getting 15k Kurzick armor and specifically picked the one with the condition duration reduction, but now it's gone!
english storm
any plans to increase the amount of crafting materials you can keep in the valut? At the moment you can't store enough materials in there for the high level armour 
Agatsu
Will we ever be able to make up a full group of yourself and seven heroes?
If not in regular game play, can we at least get this option for the elite areas ( UW, FOW, and the elite missions) ?

Will we see more areas that is for 12 participants? (like Factions the Deep & Urgus Warden)
Will the old henchies be upgraded to custimizable heroes henchies(Mhenlo, Cynn, Aidan, etc)

What ever happened to the plans for a guild bank and the auction house? While I do like Guru's auction system..to have an MMO game with no way for its players to auction items its just plain silly. The auction house will also cut down on alot of the trade spam that seems to leave the trade channel and take over the All Chat channels.
Secondly, and I know its been stated here already but I gotta say it...when is Anet planning on addressing the storage problem? The resource storage was a good idea but its limited and you cant store enough in it for end game armor. Why cant players buy extra storage space. I would gladly cough up 5-10 US dollars for double storage space. How bout 5 dollars for every additional 10 slots? It would give a little more money to Anet AND beneift us players with storage issues
