steam is awesome end story.
but this game doesnt need to be addedto their store, you can just add it to the games list and it will show up with the community system

Steam is pretty cool, heroes use it immediately when they see someone's on fire.

I don't think putting Guild Wars / NCSoft games on Steam is really necessary, however the IQ of some people posting in this thread is like a huge slap across the face.
BUT VALVE DIDNT MAKE GUILD WARS. ALSO, I'M REALLY RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING STUPID.

50% of my gaming comes from Steam.
Counter Strike: Source was my first PC game. Steam hosts Counter Strike: Source servers.
My other 50% comes from Guild Wars/Console gaming.
I would really like to have Guild Wars implemented to Steam, so I could take to my friends who need help in other games, etc.
So I'm just going to give this thread a: /signed.

And did you not read the thread or ever use Steam? Non-Valve games are on Steam, too. I'm 100% sure CoD4, EVE Online, and Audiosurf aren't made by Valve, and they're on Steam.

The best part is that Valve makes it just a lot easier for small developers to release their game, small delevopers grow if they are succesfull and more developers in the gaming industry is better games and MORE games as well.
On topic, Guild Wars doesnt need steam, just add a shortcut in steam itself and done.

Game titles available on steam like Bioshock don't require steam to launch unless they were purchased through steam, all of us who never bought Guild Wars through steam or from the store or from A.NETs site can use Guild Wars like we always have
Adding Guild Wars to steam would mean more players to Guild Wars...I think most of us keep playing Guild Wars because of friends well we get more friends with steam added
It should be optional, its there if you want to use it and it has built in voice chat, community support etc

Let's put it this way. If you and your friends ingame decide to hook up and do some PvE or whatever, all of you can simply shift+tab to bring up an overlay, hit up your Steam friends list (assuming you all have each other added), initiate a multi-user chat room, invite all members of the party to the chat room, turn on voice chat and talk away. No server info / IP trading necessary, both voice sensitivity and push-to-talk methods are supported, voice quality has been up'ed in an update a few days ago. This is a great example of the many conveniences you will have if you play Guild Wars (or any game) with Steam running. It is a very classy program crafted by the geniuses at Valve. It may had a bumpy launch, but at looking at it today, it's a damn fine program to have.
PS I know my post is a big run on, but I'm trying to get the point across.

Sure, it had its fair share of problems at the beginning, but that was several years ago now and it has been updated numerous times.
Even if Guild Wars was being distributed via Steam, it would not affect anyone in anyway. You could still run it using your current client even without having Steam installed. The only thing Steam would do would be to add another way for people to purchase Guild Wars and another way for people to download the client/updates.

Let's assume there are ignorant people(like me) out there. What is Steam, what does it do, and how would GW benefit from being on this?

Integrated off-game friend list, faster downloading updates (nZone always dl at your max speed, unlike GW which goes at like 200kbs), more exposure to people = more sales
wanmoke
It's an interesting idea, and the only advantage I really see is the increased download speed. Other than that, I'd say /notsign.
Oh, and your link needs to include the close parenthesis, otherwise it leads to an invalid page of wikipedia.

that is unless you think all those games are VALVE.

personally i dont see the point but since EvE did it there must be some kind of marketing logic behind it.
if its just because you want to uhh clean up your desktop theres dozens of different ways to do that but if you really MUST have it on Steam then like people have said you can add programs to it manually.
fireflyry
Fair call dude.
I still think it's a stupid idea but each to their own.

There are games many games like Bioshock or Stalker or Eve that don't require steam to run but are for sale on the Steam page
It would also make voice chat easier for the new people who might buy guild wars off steam and use steam to play the game because it has all the built in capabilities already instead of having to download all these little programs, plus you can message people offline etc
Its cool man

You don't seem to understand.
Steam isn't just a 'shop'. There must be contracts and agreements to make a game available in that system. Guild Wars is exclusive to NCSoft.
For NCSoft, Valve is just competition.
You don't sell competition stuff in your shop.

Needing to run steam to play a game? RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO no! I already tried that with Dark Messiah, now I can't play my game anymore thanks to Valve's terribad program steam.
Guild Wars already has a nearly perfect client and server system (aside from that pesky bug I have that freezes my computer after too long spent on the EotN main menu screen) and does not need to be ruined by Valve's inferior products. (And valve's products are inferior; they're a mediocre company at best in my opinion; they're not a shining star of quality like Relic, Epic, or BioWare Corp.)
A vehement no.
