I whas thinking (yes i can think ^^)
Would Anet give us a copy off our account data iff GW(1) is no more.
And allow us to run our own sever.
Couse i would be nice iff they did when the time is there.
Or anyways sell us the privlage to run our own stuff, couse i enjoy the game so much it would be ashame to let my account go to waste.
What do you guys think.
Run your own server!

the problem is that the 'if' in your post could spawn a discussion totally irrelevant to your original post, so it would seriously be better not to consider this idea until Anet have said "we may be thinking of closing our servers to GW1." which they have said will not be happening. It may be a good idea 'if' that time comes, but not now.

Run my own server and tweak it allow 7 heroes?
If I were able to do that now, wouldnt everyone flock to my server? XD

Why are you people thinking that GW is going to shut down????
And having server rights is just plain retarded, sorry to burst your bubble....worst thought ive ever heard frankly....
GW isnt a single player game, much less having access to change things in an online enviroment

I would rather play GW as a single player with 7 heroes yes. But unfortunately I cant. Updates can become patches XD

Cant you think for yourself? Im not as stupid as you appear to be.

I absolutely vote for that. But not now.
Wait untill GW1 gets low on people, or they close the servers.

Make a pay to play GW server with no loot scaling, 7 heroes, and heroes allowed in HA and I'll join
Oh, and un-nerf the armor stacking, and stoneflesh aura and Ether renewal durations for me XD. I will pay you the going monthly rate for MMO's.

I think its safe to say most MMOs have a community that runs private servers... usually highly against the EULA and possibly illegal as well. If GW shut down, I think its extremely unlikely Anet would "allow" people to run their own servers for it, but I am quite confident people would anyway.

Promise: We'll release new Guild Wars campaigns with pricing and content levels equivalent to a triple-A title
Reality: Guild Wars 2 will follow a 'game + expansions' format, with the expansions offering similar levels of content to GW:EN but sold at full-price. Same price, less content.
Promise: We will improve the trading system (made during beta)
Reality: Er... well the fact that there is still such a place as Guru Auction should answer that for you
Promise: The game will be grind free
Reality: Any time anyone finds a way of making enough money to pay the fixed-price NPC gold sinks without grinding, it gets nerfed.
So to be honest Anet's promise that 'Guild Wars 1 will not close down' is about as reliable to me as if Gaile Gray personally promised to fly me to Mars tomorrow morning in a spaceship made from alligator teeth.

And I'm assuming emulated servers properly and correctly emulate all 1000 skills, all items, the complete mob AI, all the quests, collision detection, body blocking, ....
Nah, GW can't be emulated (at a playable level) because it's too much sheer work.
But logging in, running around, having mobs running around, sure. But that's not why people who play GW play it.
WoW is really trivial to implement. Mobs have no AI, quests are generic, there's no other real logic. Even with that, there's not a single quality server out there.
There's references to GW servers passed around, but there's nothing real behind it. Of course, different people, different expectations. If all you want is a world you run around in, that's great. But that doesn't mean it's a playable game.

I vote for private servers so I can deal 999 damage to everything and have 500 armor and solo DoA HM. kthx.

I love how often these topics spawn.
Really. Where can I get some of that timer hax? I always have to wait until the end of the round before I get another chance for a BOOM! HEADSHOT!
What Warcraft were you playing?

Like I said - what would a free server accomplish for those who play GW for what GW is?

lol, gw privates already exist, and im not lying since ive been following the progress of some. And yes i would like to run one, if i could...there would be almost no difference anyways, the social part in this game is dead.

There is one, it's called GWLP. It's the only one that's got anywhere useful, and it's very very early, in that only movement, chat, etc are working right now. All code for skills etc etc etc is server side, and will need to be redone, it's a huge project.
As for the people saying "there has been one for a while now" just because they've heard of the project, these people are stupid. Sure the project has been around a while now but we've only been alpha testing it a couple of days, and it's nowhere near a playable game.
Everyone here pretending to "know something" everyone else doesn't know is exaggerating the truth.
I can tell you I know for a fact certain Anet staff don't believe it can be done because of the sheer amount of coding required, however "impossible" it is not, it's a case of perseverance and team work, but you won't be playing Guild Wars out of Anets control any time soon.

But I hate to break it to you but GWLP isnt the only one out there, and they do have a FULL SERVER RUNNING.
