The last day dawns on the kingdom of Ascalon

It’s a couple of days till the release of GW2.

Will you kneel before one of the gods and pay your tribute one last time?

Will you create a character in Pre-Searing just to go back into the Catacombs again?

Will you ceremoniously strip/delete all of your characters, give your gold and guild hall away to some lucky schmo in Lion’s Arch, then delete the remaining character?

Will you trek your character deep in the realm of madness, and log out, leaving him there for eternity?

No. I'll pop on every now and again, so I don't see the point in giving everything away.

I'll keep as much trash as I can in my account for nostalgia, and save all those screenshots I take from time to time. I doubt I'll be coming back after getting GW2 but after 3 years I really got attached to my characters and the game itself.

What I might do is take a trip throught the game... Watch the outposts, some landscape, get the feel of everything again, one last time.

I'll stock up on unded minis, destroyer and torment weapons, and components for elite armors, because the last minute rush to fill the HoM is going to be INSANE!

Before the torment of thy GW1 ends. I will fill my Hall of Monuments with destroyer weapons and mini Heart tormentors. Lastly will be the necro and assassin elite armor sets. To end the end I shall max my titles until I'm a God Amounst Mere Weak Mortals.
I'll have to consume as much sweets and tonics this Halloween.

I don't intend to do anything special as I believe I will still be playing GW. Not all of my guild members will be able to purchase GW2 immediately, so I will have to split my time between the two games.

Even now I play more than one game (Civ3, Sins), so do not see any problems with continuing that gaming style.

right before GW2 I will fill my HoM with all I can, no matter how slight, a small white minipet, an armor set, the destroyer sword so ugly I cannot bring myself to make one..

Only if I never intend to revisit GW1 again, which I intend to with the new content updates from the live team. Might as well keep the game as long as it lasts.

Though if they ever stop updating, I'll probably strip then sell my account.

The true realm of madness is that which exists through connection of my brain. There is no access to there for others aside from myself, only I may see the true face of madness, and only I shall laugh with joy when I get back from my mind trips. When the end of days come, I shall sit and laugh with glee at the screams of agony and despair, and I shall walk at the side of the one causing those screams to take place.

If you mean go to FoW or UW "one last time" then no, i will probably be too excited about GW2(seeing as by then we would already have had a few BWE (hopefuly week and not weekend:P)I'll be on the wiki and guru trying to find as much tips and helpfull advice as possible.

No, I was never like some people that LOVE pre searing that much to have a perma there or anything close too that,if I could but more character slots i might have a perma-per,space is limited enough for me already, even with 2 accounts,but even then I doubt I would have a perma-pre

Are you nuts?I like my possesions,i enjoyed getting most of them,There will probably be a time i wish to check back on GW1, and there's always that chance that,something will suck horribly in GW2 while in GW1 it wasnt that bad.So id like to have GW1 as playable as I can.

No,I hate that place.Its a prime example of Anet Numbers equals better, instead of making the mosters smart they just increase the number.


Edit:Konig he meant it as a example.
Imagine GW2 is a couple of days ago will you do the following things?

I'm too much of a file hoarder to delete anything. I'll probably treat my characters to some absurdly expensive items or something like that.

TBH when GW2 comes out, I'll probably only go on GW1 to see how much everything has changed since the mass migration. There really won't be much point in my mind to play GW1 anymore...

the GW1 servers wont be any different then they are now. just as deserted except for the random event weekend that still interests people. prices might go up on stuff closer to a real release date, if that date ever comes, then probably crash worst then ever a few months after release if GW2 improves on the stuff they couldnt or wouldnt improve on in GW1

I'm pretty sure I'm going to log back on a lot to finnish up maxing titles, gettin cool stuffs. Heck, a lot of the player base might stick arround for a while, and I think my guild might be carrying over to GW2 but we'll always have the GW1 guild, so we can go between games and play for fun.

And on another note, I never really thought about it, but it probably will be sad....

Why do you play those crappy games? Civ IV and Swords of the Stars or GalCiv2 are much much better.

I will join in reporting you.


Plus, I just don't think they will leave GW1 up for very long after GW2 comes out. GW1 is already pretty dead in 3/4ths of the game now as it is.

I just went from Kamadan to Hell's Principie and I wasn't able to get into one pug except at THK and even there the leader used 3 of his heroes.

Every outpost other than Lions Arch,Temple of ages, Ascalon, Piken square (why the hell do so many players hang out in Piken Square?) Henge of Denravi and that middle one in the desert are just barren.

Kamadan is packed of course because that's the world marketplace it seems. But, the outlying outposts even in all of Nightfall are pretty barren or just have zombies standing in them. No chat, no movement just dead people standing up.

GWEN has some activity, but, just like all the rest it's mostly in the main HOM area and any outlying outposts and cities there is nothing till you get to Rata Sum.

Factions is dead as well except for the marketplace and Kanaing (sp) getting into a group or pug later on in that chapter is nill to none now. The game really has turned into pretty much a solo fest for the majority of it because much of the population has gone and what is left of it is spread out from here to timbucktoo.

I think I have planned to get my old mates that I used to play with back into the game one last time that are mates in real life, and some that aren't. Get all of them to play and do UW/FoW/DoA/Urgoz/Deep. I'll pay attention to my guild, get involved with all the events going on. I will also do the last minute rush for my HoM, make it as perfect as possible. All the money I make from actually playing the game, fow etc. will pay for fixing up my HoM.

win-win.

I'd just buy couple of things I can buy with my money for the HoM, then I will take a look at many screenshots I took over couple of years in GW (including those very first screens when you are still a noob..) before jumping into the GW2

That's what I'd do.

I.. don't know.

To be honest I'll probably be very sad. I think what I'll do is blow all the money I have built up on stuff for my HoM or a big going away party for the community. I don't know under what circumstances I'll finally end playing GW, but I think I'll definitively end it. More than likely with a ceremony to commemorate my characters.

My Dervish and my Ele in my own mind move on by heading off into the unknown east beyond the Charr homelands (where eventually their descendants come back for GW2). So maybe I'll log out with each of them as far east as I can.

My Warrior and my Ranger help the Ascalonians escape from the descending Charr hordes, so maybe I'll move them to Ascalon before I log out.

And my others.. not sure.

I like that idea of logging out with them in one of the after worlds however, though I think I'd try to place them in 'heaven' instead of 'hell'.

I will be sitting in my HoM, on my Ranger.

My monument will have 18 white minis, one purple (Joko ftw), and one gold (my mini destroyer, yay for me.)

I will still be trying to buy Elite Fur-Lined Armor.

I will proceed to dance in ToA American Distict 1, wearing nothing but a Dread Mask.

I will be grinding towards max Asura rank.

I will get a run though Sorrow's Furnace.

I will /kneel in the Tombs of the Primeval Kings, screenshot, and log out.

I will proceed to kick major ass with a Charr Ranger using all the crap my GW1 char had.
