My apologies in advance to the moderation team for starting yet another thread about this, but please, hearken to me.
The changes to Favor are a good start, but what pretty much all PvE'ers have been waiting for since the release of Factions is to finally see the Realms of the Gods finished.
Finish FoW and UW
When all quests have been finished, let there be an ending quest where you face off a final boss of some sorts (something related to Menzies in FoW and Dhuum in UW, for example). Green drop would be a plus. Heck, how about a message that is broadcasted in the major cities saying "Player's team has defeated the forces of Dhuum in the Underworld?.
And the age-old plea:
Give us the Realms of Lyssa, Dwayna and Melandru
Pretty, pretty, pretty please. More than any campaign, expansion or mission pack.
Now that Favor is changed, please complete the Realms!

You say that 3 weeks before GW:EN. Prioritize much?
Lagg
Zing! (literally)
No, I'm reiterating this right after the Favor changes. Which means ArenaNet still remembers that FoW and UW exist. Which means they might still be willing to improve it.
As I've said, it's what many have been asking for since the release of Factions.

ArenaNet Dev 1: So, we're evaulating every aspect of Heroes' Ascent...hey, what the heck is favor doing here?
ArenaNet Dev 2: Dunno.
ArenaNet Dev 3: Me neither.
ArenaNet Dev 1: Well we might as well throw the unskilled PvErs a bone for once. Go boot up the Random Idea Generator (TM) until it has a somewhat plausible idea for Favor. Make sure it's totally irrelevant to lore, as that takes production resources, and no one cares about lore!
ArenaNet will never add the last 3 realms. They will likely milk GW:EN for all it's worth, as opposed to adding new retroactive content.

why do you keep returning to the fansite of a game you left for the game of your love life instead of playing wow which you say is so much better?
just to make one additional snipe at GW?

I love your suggestion Lagg... love it, love it, love it. Excellent idea for another expansion... and there's plenty of time for another expansion before GW2.
Good find, Shadow Kurd. Thanks for posting it. "...there's nothing to say from anyone on the team on this subject just now."
Just now? I love "No comments." A flush beats a straight, and a "No comment (just now)" beats a "No."

As for Lagg's suggestion, /signed. We have a big two years before GW2 comes out. Will see what happens in between now and then.

Looking at DoA, Id really hate for ANet to make these areas, which sucks because theyre the only ones that might.
Btw pingu666, those ideas are REALLY stretched, and it really isnt important what enemies there are in the area for it to be linked to a particular enemy.

actually give it some time, theres gonna be like what still 2 years until gw2 is released? so in that time they can easily add more realms.
ValaOfTheFens
If they do make new realms I hope they reflect the god's well. Especially Lyssa's realm. She's my fav god and it would be fun to have a realm that involved thinking and not just nuking or tanking. 
Of course I want to be able to get favor from other god's but I can leave that to GW2.

A green at the end seems possible. However the other realms are still a dream.
in GW2 maybe, GW1 definetly not.

I can't remember where I read it so I can't back that up.
Lagg
Thanks for your replies so far. The positive as well as the negative.
Just a quick side-question:
Would you be willing to pay for a Mission Pack including the three missing Realms?
I definitely would.
This way, nothing gets retroactively updated for free (well, except perhaps a FoW/UW update).
ArenaNet gets to make a few bucks from something we've always wanted.
We get something we've always wanted.
Everyone's a winner!
As for the "No comment" part, I hate to be the one despairing, but I think it'd be a SUBSTANTIAL marketing boost if they simply advertised New Realms of the Gods in GWEN -- Preorder Now!
And since I like to think that their marketing department knows more about selling their product than yours truly, I'm inclined to believe that we won't see any such places in GWEN.
Yet.

and zinger.... if gwen isn't pretty much done by now I would be surp.... well.... no i guess it wouldn't surprise me.... but that would be bad O.O
Risa
Zinger was a pure PvEer... That comment had nothing to do oncesoever with PvPers, he was just talking about PvEers that sucked at PvE...
As for the Realms, I've wanted them since I first started playing GW, and I still want them now.
Edit: or what Miral said. :/

Hey, yeah... thre could be a final boss in each realm, and then a final battle against a sall child-like creature that looks like a tiny Seer...
And then you finish the 'core' elite missions and you get the 'Legendary Hero of the Mists' title, XD.
I would pay up to 15€ per realm.

making someone rush doesnt help at all. Buy gwen enjoy yourself for a few months and let anet do its thing.
You dont have to get titles at all, so whats you're problem?

1. Loviator is a douchebag.
2. Would love to see the realms myself
3.
sadly, I concure...

Actually, the longer i play, the more i read Riverside, the more jaded i become with an aging game and the more i find myself agreeing with Zinger. I've spoken up against Zinger in the past for being a troll and gave him the perfect opportunity to put me in my place, but he was a complete gentleman about it in his response and earnt instant respect in my eyes. The way i see it, Zinger's after the same thing we're all after...a better GW experience. He just cuts straight to the chase more often than not.
And why are GW and WoW mutually exclusive? They're very different games once you've played both and scratched a bit under the surface. WoW is a better RGP from a solo PvE and economy stand-point but i still love my GW for the teamplay and hack'n'slash.
