I see a lot of talking about guild wars 2, and how it's going to be great and that you can't play gw2 with gw1 characters, can only get rewards for my maxed titles through the HoM, but i heard that ANet not going to make more extensions or ideas for gw1, and there is no more updates for it, they will just keep the game up for people to play until there is no one plays it anymore, so is GW1 is dead?? should i quit and don't waste my time playing it?? i just started 5 months ago and i feel sad that ANet going to kill Gw1 like this

When GW2 comes out, GW1 will be dead.

Is GW2 out? No. It's not.

Are you still having fun?

If yes, carry on.

If no, stop playing.

Its really as simple as that, the fact is every game will eventually stop running. That doesnt stop it being fun to play while its still going does it?

There won't be any major updates for GW1 Imo. It's up to you, you can try to max your titles, get items to show in HoM etc. etc.

Well, i just started GW1 5 months ago and hadn't enough of it yet.
others been playing for 2 and half years, my point is why play while it's already decided the game will stop, not like many other games lives on, if we just move on to other games, what is the point in buying and wasting money and time in nothing going to end soon, has no future

When GW2 comes out, i may be getting exited for World of darkness on line and ignore it.

But as i said before: Judging from the number of people who don't know were to get termites, i think there is still a healty influx of fresh meat. That this game is not yet completely lobotomized by institutionalized hacking (check Diablo 2 and smell the ashes), is a good sign as well.

First of all Anet said there won't be any MAJOR game update... but there will be some minors like balance and holiday and stuff like that. Second, GW2 will really be released in 2009 or 2010... two years is enough to experience everything GW1 has to offer and you'll probably miss it when GW2 comes. Also some players won't buy GW2 but they wll still be able to play GW1 and GW1 WILL NOT BE DEAD. It will still have players playing it. Eh you might even play with bots

You said you are enjoying the game...

There is tons of content and a huge map out there between three games and the expansion. Unless you have completed all there is to do and you are bored why even ask this question?

This isn't real life and you are not going to grow old and live happily ever after with the original game. Enjoy it while you are having fun and when it stops being fun for you then move on...

Thats it!

Besides, that argument that gw1 is dead and time playing it thou wasted well newsflash:

Every game is going to die sooner or later. Every minute you play it is in all sensible definitions wasted. You will eventually move to new game regardles of what you are playing. So, fun=continue, unfun=quit, stop caring about future of game.

Lag is caused by crappy ISP's and crappy computers. I play on dialup and I don't get any lag. So, you best look into your ISP provider or inside your puter that's where your issues are.

GW1 isn't dead by no means but I do think that most veteran players don't have much to do other than maxing out titles or continue to pvp. GW 2 isn't really that far away. The beta should start sometime in the 2nd half of 2008 and it going on the shelves in 2009. There was mention of GW2 in the article below.

I suggest that if you enjoy playing GW and want to keep it that way, stay out of riverside and any GW is DEAD 111!!!!!!@!@!@ threads. They can seriously screw up your perspective. I only come in for shits and giggles nowadays.

Rt/

what its been like a week since the last gw is dead thread?

so I will copy and paste part of what I put (one) of the other threads:

"its going to be another year at least before gw2 goes beta, thats another year you can play gw1.....
I am NOT going over to gw2 so I see no problem continuing on playing gw1 until the turn the servers off (or another version of windows comes out that it can not be played on)."

I wont be getting gw2 (and neither will my hubby since his computer can barely handle gw1 and we have no intention of building another computer just so he can play an online game!), many people will continue to play gw1 even when 2 comes out for many reasons.
Guildwars is NOT DEAD, there is so much you can do in it.....have you played all 10 professions???? beat the game (all 3 chapters and eton) with all of them???? gotten max titles on them all??????? Filled your HoM to the max??????
No to any of those means you have lots you can still enjoy in this game even AFTER its sequel hits the market!

the 'gw is dead' theme has been beaten to death, so let a dead horse stay dead this time, k?

1) NO ITS NOT F'ING DEAD!
2) STOP MAKING "DEAD" THREADS... WE GET A NEW ONE EVERY WEEK.
3) If your bored go play another game like mythos or fate or dungeaon runners! im playing mythos and its good.

We dont need more "dead" threads making people paranoid.

I think the only thing dead about Guild Wars is the average intelligence of all the people creating these topics...

People have no concept of time. The BETA will be available Q2-Q3 2008, at least 6 months from now. The GAME will be out somewhere between 2009 and 2010 (no solid date on that yet). That's 18 months to 2.5 YEARS. I.e., Guild Wars is not dead, it's halfway through its life, and that's still not accurate. It has been explicitly stated by ANet that GW1's servers will NEVER be shut down until NO ONE is playing it anymore.

Given how successful the "GW is dead" kind of thread is, I guess we should all bring our resurection signets with us and organise a "Let's bring back GW" major event. It could even be a week-end event, choose your side: bring-back-GW quests and GW-is-dead ones, with special hats for the occasion!

Non-sense FTL.

Seriously Fanco, this game has over 2 years more to stay alive and in 2 years LOTS of things happen, so stop thinking about whats gonna happen to GW1, shut your mouth and have fun as long as it lasts or else GTFO now.

Nah not bored of the game, just sick of the 14yr old crybabies making threads like this, people like you especially. This thread is going nowhere anyways might aswell close thread the OP is way too childish to understand a game isn't forever.

What reason do you have to quit?
You spent your money on the game, play it.

If your going to stop using something you paid for, not because your not having fun, but because you may not be able to play it in TWO years.
I find that silly.

Also stop this lack of intelligence, phrase.

What was a lack of intelligence was posting this thread.

Guild Wars one is not dead, you can see this clearly by playing.

There are people playing, updates happen.

Guild Wars is fine, we've had GW 1 is dead topics in 2005, and they were dead wrong.

You see alot of talking about guildwars and how it will be great = something that will come out in like 2 years

you heard Anet not gonna make more extensions or ideas for gw1 = wrong they will actually do something to keep players hooked up to the game, don't you think so?

GW is dead? = no it's still alive and going good (the new players keep coming and thats a good sign)

Quitting and waste your time is up to YOU = I play for fun and when it comes to an end I won't take it bad, the money I spent was good.

you started 5 months ago = if you played this game since the beginning you'd probably won't say the same, I'm here for over 30months and still playing like crazy.

Final comment: If you don't want to "waste" your time you can stop playing now, but in 2 years time many things will change and remember no game lasts forever.

I can barely remember stuff too T_T

Now I remember back in the day.... 6 years old...playing sonic the hedgehog.
Those were good days....todays youth... with there Tomagotchi party on's and there halo 3's.... and there GW 2's.
I spit on it!

GW 1 is alive.... but they need there GW 2.
GW 1 doesn't even need a sequel.
I remember back when a sequel was made for things that needed moar!!
I remember when sequels were added to things that were dead too!
