I think seeing Gwen all grown up (and filled out... of course ) would completely and totally ROCK! She should come back as some kind of UBER-HERO you can enlist to defeat the evil forces once and for all. Maybe that muppet Asurian mini-pet could be her side-kick.

Hey, maybe there could be a romance between your char and Gwen (remember the end of KOTOR2?).

Anywho... it would fit in with the philosophy of the story line and the hero system.

And besides... don't we all miss that gangly little girl?

It would be nice to finally unravel the mystery, but I wouldn't want her to turn into just another hero.

Oh, SK my friend, with a new Chapter (game... whatever you want to call it) being announced soon, the mind wanders back to "Where's Gwen and should I still hang on to this broken flute?" Plus, I just want to see her takin' names and kickin' butt.

Gee whiz, don't ya have a sense of wonder at all?

Hey Sith, not just "another hero", an UBER-HERO. Maybe one you could actually play. Maybe we could ALL be Gwen, like some twisted Agent Smith kinda thing. OK, just kidding there... but about being a playable hero I'm not.

Plus, with the KOTOR2 reference, I'd thought you of all people would be into it.

GW's new chapter might be named Eye of the North, which you can abbreviate to GW:EN, that kinda rebirthed the hype

Seriously....she's like 10 to 40 years younger than you are, depending on what your characters look like

I wouldn't mind solving the gwen mystery or her being a hero, but unless the game is set 10 years after proph she's going to be a little too young to have a romance with.

I mean like, right now Gwen is an enjoyable character everyone knows from pre-sear and what happened to her is a big mystery that most people have wondered about at least once. If she were made into a hero, even some supposed "uber-hero", she would be reduced from an iconic figure to the likes of Acolyte Sousuke. Does anyone care about Sousuke? No, he's just some generic hero guy that you may use occasionally.

That's because the devs didn't involve most of the heroes enough in the storyline.

gwen as a hero, maybe, but i agree that heros should be more involved in the story lines. not just generic beings the use skills you give them.

As far as romance.....please tell me you were joking. She was 10ish in pre. two years to post, then what a year maybe two to NF. so shes maybe 14.
Unless we get the

Ten years later...

and even then what about female characters? Are you saying gwen grew up to be a Bi monk?

Crickey. It's a game. ANet can make up whatever future they wish. I personally love the mythos surrounding Gwen. Anything that engages speculation is a good thing.

Let's rez Gwen!

Although I still like the idea of Gwen as a playable UBER-HERO in the next Chapter, here's another slant on it...

A mission called Avatar of Gwen.

Your char is given a skill called Avatar of Gwen where you must assume her identity to gain access into The Great Hall of the Gods and defeat Grenth. Gwen's is ultimately revealed as the earthly reincarnation of Dwayna. Hey, if Togo can be the Emperors brother, anything can happen.

I just want her back.

Oh, and don't give me the "ew gross" age difference thing. What-r-ya, 13? My wife in real life is 15 years younger than I am. Grow up. That's just kid talk. Time moves forward in the storyline. Gwen should age.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Gwen%27s_Broken_Flute,
Dunno, maybe it might mean something.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Tattered_Girl%27s_Cape,
You can find it at Stingray Strand and thats far from Ascalon, how did that reach there?

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Preserved_Red_Iris_Flower,
It reached Elona still not yet satisfied?

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sarah
Lastly if this does not satisfy you then I dunno, Why is Gwen not in the Underworld if shes dead?

And oh yeah!

I like Gwen too, to be a Hero for the next GW^^.
Just not wish she is a monk and in trauma!
OMG!
I like here to be the next prof but in the pre searing she is a monk :P
Maybe she would be a musical type but a musical type won't work cause thiers already paragons.

It's a Knight O'De Repub reference, but sure why not? I'm sure some Ascalon women have fallen for a dashing Charr Warrior before.

I actually enjoy the idea of Gwen coming back as a hero, or possibly just a main NPC (Togo, Mhenlo, Rurik).

However as a romance happening, thats a horrific idea. Remember, there are girl characters in the game and that would create controvesy beyond measure. Dont say OH, well people should get over it, because if ANET were to allow potential homosexual romance it would either be formally changed or shut down the game completely because of the extremely stong feelings about this topic in current day society. Not to mention they'd loose thousands and thousands of players.

So lets just stick to her being a powerful NPC. Of course she will need to age because the character ages in the game are supposed to be around the 20's (based on the henchmen ages). So she would need to be as of age as us.

I should start collecting Gwen's lost things.. i think it'll be like a mission where Gwen's gone crazy with her smite skills, killing everyone in her path.. then you show up and show her the flute and the cape and she "remembers" everything and turns good and defeats the charr (who are now level 35+) with you.

LOL! The Bi-Gwen thing is a joke. I'm just trying to enliven the discussion.

Thanks for backing me on the return of Gwen. Hey, what ever form she takes when she returns (oh, and she WILL return) will be a good thing. I'm hoping for a more interactive environment and a storyline that truly involves the player built chars, NPCs, and heroes.

Indeed... start collecting the broken flute, torn cape, and preserved red iris!

I can't wait for my next issue of PC Gamer!!! Bring it whatever it is!
