Where would you ideally like it to happen?
- Moscone center, here in San Francisco. Otherwise I wouldn't go. I still might not go, unless I had some free time and didn't have to pay to get in.

What kind of events do you expect/want?
- I want a mini-pet. Maybe a mini-me (small version of my own toon) or a mini-Gaile (wouldn't that be weird). Maybe a mini-norn, but that would just be the toons many people are already playing.

What kind of prizes/loot/schwag do you expect/want?
- T-shirt, coffee cup, mouse pad. The usual.

What kind of merchandise do you expect want?
- Things I have no need or interest in will abound. Things I want are few.

Would there be a band or a DJ? If so who?
- I could almost be certain it wouldn't be one to my tastes, so I wouldn't pay it any mind.

Would there be cosplay?
- Good lord I hope not.

Would you cosplay!?
- I have a career and a life to think about.

Would you tell people who you were in game? :O
- Nope.

I'd go, if only because I swore to kick several of my ex-guildmates in unpleasant places.

They totally deserve it too. Don't think I'm being cruel.

I would go, dressed up like the Berries and Cream guy from my old avatar. That alone should sufficently annoy a great deal of people. Then, and only then, will I know my job will be done.

So yeah, seriously, I'd only go if it was a couple of hours drive from my house. Otherwise, forget it.

Would so be fun to annoy everyone.... yeah.

if it was held in the city I live in I might go, preferably on the same block I live on. Also free food would be nice too.

IF they had cool prizes/loot/schwag and IF they had one in my area (hint: they never have stuff like this in my area, but if you wanted to find a protest or rally you can't go wrong), I'd most likely go.

I'd go point and throw food at the dodgy cosplayers and fat people.

I might also take a minute to drop kick basketballs into "pro-Esport" players faces.

otherwise it wouldn't really be any fun.

Seconded..........

The only place I might consider going to this would be Las Vegas....3 hour drive from L.A.....and If Macabre weasels out of showing up like the Starburst Berries and Cream guy or its full of 13 year old players we all love so much...there's still the gambling and the boozing to do.

No, I'm afraid of all them big bad Guru E-Gangsters

Where would you ideally like it to happen? Here (Toronto) or neighbouring/neighboring cities and states in the US.. Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit... NYC.

What kind of events do you expect/want? Give away I guess? A Mini PvP tournament too I guess...

What kind of prizes/loot/schwag do you expect/want? I'd expect skill pins since ANet seems to be so proud of those lol... I'd want... possibly gaming hardware.

What kind of merchandise do you expect want? Figurines.. I'd like a 1/7 scale figurine of Nika, Jora, Gwen, Varesh, Cynn, Aidan, and Devona, Eve, Mhenlo, basically the main characters of each respective chapter/campaign.

Would there be a band or a DJ? If so who? Don't really care... there'll probably just be a lot of techno/trance playing... and I've grown out of that stuff so I don't really care anymore =p If it was up to me, I'd prefer classical or jazzy stuff

Would there be cosplay? No doubt about it... it'll be horrifying. Nika cosplay would be so awesome... actually it'll most likely turn out bad... ugly bad.

Would you cosplay!? I've considered it but most likely won't.

Would you tell people who you were in game? No... unless some Guildies were to attend and want to meet up so we can finally punch so and so in the face for being a jackass all the time

I have better things to do. Unless it is next to where I work. And free. And had some unbelievable mini-pet that I can sell for more money than the Ceratadon. And there was not a huge line. And if I was not expected to stay for more than 30 minutes. And only if I could give some of the higher-ups a piece of my mind. And no one I knew went.

Where would you ideally like it to happen?
Well, somewhere that lots of people have access to, I don't want it to be me, some 13 year old and a creepy old guy the only ones who turn up.
What kind of events do you expect/want?
IRL 9 ring game!
What kind of prizes/loot/schwag do you expect/want?
Minipets I guess, maybe some weapon skins? The BMP? Oh and signed copies of things.
What kind of merchandise do you expect want?
Everything! Shirt, cushions, posters, pictures, toys, statues.
Would there be a band or a DJ? If so who?
Probably someone from a power metal band, that or some pop trash
Would there be cosplay?
YES!
Would you cosplay!?
YES!
Would you tell people who you were in game? :O
Maybe.

But is there really enough people to have a Guild Wars only con? Maybe an NC-Soft con is more realistic.

I probably wouldnt go. There wouldnt be enough diversity I wouldnt think for a convention to be just Guild Wars. Having a hard time imagining what there would be to do.

I am the biggest Guild Wars Nerd. Hurrah.
I would get in my Jeep and drive to Europe if I had to. Conventions usually mean free stuff and/or free food and lots of cool stuff anyways. I just can't resist the addiction to game.

Well, if there ever is one, look for the idiot dressed as Warmaster Grast because he drove across the Atlantic to get there.

If it was relatively close, had actual events, (and not just some guys dressed up singing stupid parody songs about GW), and if there was more out-of-game stuff to warrant a GW-con.

In other words, I don't want to go to a con to see very amateurish stuff and watch people sitting in a packed hall playing - there has to be stuff to do.

If there were devs there, a good collection of GW merchandise, and some cool stuff, then sure I'd go...

So i guess the question is....would you ever go to one if they held one?

Hell yes.

I'd run around cosplayed as my necro and introducing myself screaming my character name, and I'd totally get involved and organise fun things like trivia and Prince Rurik impersonation/quoting contests and a big real-life sync wamo dance! And then we'd make a big replica of the HoH chest and give out random goodies to people in the crowd!

It'd be ever so grand!

I don't think we would have to worry about the people mentioned in the quote below. Those people likely are not independent and would be unable to attend even if they wanted to!
