So far this event is in the embryonic stage, (very little has been prepared and thought about) but I am here to mainly claim the idea and let other people see this so that they may help else say goodbye to the old and hello to the new. Everyone is welcome to join in and help and please tell your friends so this well be a event that we will forever leave our mark on Guild Wars.
But this event will pretty much just the Guild Wars community saying good bye Guild Wars and saying hello to Guild Wars 2.
Farewell To Guild Wars and Hello To Guild Wars 2

I had alot of discussion with people on this topic....
I don't wanna say "goodbye" to Guild Wars 1. I will be most likely popping back on it once in a while as people will still be participating in the original game
I do want to say that a Guild Wars 2 Community Launch Party is most definitely in order....

There are no goodbyes for GW1. I probably won't play GW1 for the first 2 or 3 months but I will pop in and work on my account till I think I have done all I can or want to do.

There is no goodbye to GW1 until the servers are taken down. Which won't happen with GW2's release.
Jon of the Plauge
I agree with all of you. Me personally I will be coming back to Guild Wars. But I think I can confidentially say that most people currently playing Guild Wars will stop when Guild Wars 2 comes out and switch to that. And I'm not all that surprised when you two said you would continue playing since you are both community legends.

I think this is premature. I do think the GW1 will take a huge hit when GW2 comes out, but I don't think it will be time to say farewell. In another 5, 6, 10 years when the servers are shutting down, sure - one last finale! (I've even had dreams where I attended such parties actually.. very sad :/ )
But at this point I don't think it's farewell, it's just going to become another game in the repertoire.

Also, me continuing with GW1 has nothing to do with having held events. In fact, this MantleCon will be the last one I host and fund. Though I may aid other events as a trivia fella or some such - and I shall be doing such for the event that barbie has been talking with folks about.
But yeah, there's no farewell, not for the few or the many.
Name of the thread aside, I suggest that event hosts get together for a meeting. Barbie seems to be the mastermind of things when I talked to her about it.

Me personally cant wait for Guildwars 2 to come out.
But i wont say farewell to Guildwars, before they actually shut it down.
I will still go on my account, and still play the game.
I have spend too many hours, and had too much fun, just to let guildwars go.
But with that said, i think its an awesome idea, to give Guildwars 2 a big warm welcome.
And i will support that 100 %
So Im also in for a meeting btw

Indeed, I think a GW2 welcome is more in order, with a GW1 farewell many years off.
That said, there are some very loose plans for a GW2 welcome, the only issue being that we don't know a release date, so we can't really do much planning until we know the release and more about the game world (where to host it, when to start making plans and so forth).

It's a spider-shaped brain-cyber-demon-thingie-of-hell.
Plus it was a joke for the lulz. If you looked at what the thing was, you'd get that it was a mastermind.
I think comparing you to something which commands hordes of demons is a compliment. Then again, I'm odd.
MalibuBarbie
Okay...so I am the Uber commander of all the little Demons....I get it LOL! <3

How about I just change this to a Hello To Guild Wars 2 Event.

Yup a GW2 event is definetly something i wanna join in on
I can already see a bunch of asurans and charrs dancing
Jon of the Plauge
Well if you would like to be part of the Hello to Guild Wars 2 event send me a message so I can inform you when planning begins.
MalibuBarbie
Okay..so how does this sound. We create a Red Carpet event.....like an Awards of some sort for Guild Wars. Where we create fake awards... (TBA and discussed) and have people actually "Dress up" and walk the "Red Carpet"
Then continue on to the Awards Ceremony.....lol. It was kinda a joke bounced around some of us...but some possible names could be...Ascalon Academy Awards ( AAA) or....The Ascension Awards...something to that effect...
Go! Tell me what you think hahahaha

I was really surprised to see this thead title and just popped in to say I don't want to say good bye to GW1 just yet :P I still have way too much stuff to do in GW1, and the OCD side of me would rather play GW2 only after I'm done with all I can do in GW1. Then again, I've only been casually playing for little more than a year, so GW1 still feels fresh and novel for me

The Ascalon Academy Awards (AAA) haha!
Cool idea, and a guy who takes screenshots and video recording (the photographer.)
With a host ofc, plus different people to announce the nominees and winners
But it is to give a warm welcome to GW2 right?
Cause then we should also figure out if its gonna be held in gw2 or in gw.
But theres alot of possibilities in a theme like the "Red Carpet Event" or "The Ascalon Academy Award Event" i can already see the introduction videos of the nominees hehe.
I like it.
Btw are we gonna have Norn bouncers too? LOL!

Norn Bouncers...are totally a possibly. I think this event should be entirely wide planned by the community...if not made into a pre-guild wars 2 event (Say..like.....2 weeks before the game comes out? or maybe even before the Open Beta?..if there is one...) by Arenanet themselves. hahaha
We were thinking about the Awards being for the Heroes, NPCs and other weird happenings in Guild Wars 1..so we can all walk down memory lane
For Example :
The Aggrobot Award :
"Zomg! Its a Tie....Prince Rurik and Master Togo" *wild Applauses*
We actually were passing around ideas lastnight during Salmon Avenger's show and random people from the community decided to just add in...so I thought..why not post here and see what people think

GODh
I think it depends on how players experience GW2. Things will be different. Players have their own expectations. Some will get hooked very fast, others will be disappointed and may wanna go back to GW1.
I black spike I
Yeah i was thinking about NPC'S too.
something like the best villain, or even best battle
and we should definetly have a video of the nominees as a teaser for the actual event.
and how about some competitions for the players joining the event? im thinking about a "look a like" contest.~where you try and look the same as your favorite npc~, and the best joke of an NPC or something hehe.
and also after we gave an award, we could have trivia of the NPC that won, and make like a tribute with give aways of various items the NPC is equipped with or if its a boss that won, then it should be what unique weapon they drop
and what about a forum contest, where the best screenshots of your character and the nominees (NPC'S), is the winner. (Best Fan Award) or (Most Annyoing Paparazzi Award) LOL
and the point system could be for each screenshot of the different nominees (NPC'S).
Man the possibillities
And im still serious about the norn bouncers

I guess for now, we can all throw around ideas as they come up.
Then start to make some concrete plans when we know of a release date

Sounds great all and Barbie hilarious idea we should definitely do it.
MalibuBarbie
I have little experience with video stuff...so we would need 2 or 3 people keen on video making to help put together video intros for that idea ..I would think..could be really fun!
I black spike I
yeh i know someone who could help with that
Jon of the Plauge
Great, now we just need to think of a plot to get NCSoft to give us some release dates.
brandylynn8403
I can Help with the Video Area if needed. Ya know me haha i love playing around in sony vegas haha!
Konig Des Todes
I too have Sony Vegas and could work on videos. I'm currently working on a project to record every GW cinematic with only 1 PC (no h/h) in the cinematics for nice cleanness (hard for later cinematics and near impossible to get the same PC in all NF ones sadly). But I don't know too fancy stuff.
Malchior Devenholm
Video? I'll call the wolf
Lord Sojar
Operative is really great with videos (see this years ARFMB teaser video for details). Maybe he'd be willing to give it a spin too?
