GW Server shutdown: What would you like to see?
asb
Just a question that crossed my mind earlier. When the servers are being shut down, and assuming there is anyone left at ANet with some fondness for GW, what do you expect or would like to see happen during the last hours and minutes of the game's life? You can be as realistic or optimistic as you want.

tools that can create any weapons i always dreamed of ! Zone with every single BAWS ! random crazy useless reward

They can just flip the switch off for all I care. Don't really need any kind of send off. If they are shutting the servers off, and there is no off-line version of the game, I'll probably end up playing my latest game of choice during those final days and hours.

warning that the end is near. (with time enough to finish anything I wish and to take screenies).
...and the announcement of the offline version!

Declare it abandonware and release the communication protocol. Then people could legally create GW1 private servers compatible with original clients. You would soon find servers dedicated to relive old days before Nightfall or Cantha, both in PvP and PvE.

Don't need a sent off. Just praying for offline-version/private server.

I want an offline version.
So that I will release my own server, free access for anybody and I will manage the in-game events as I wish.

On their servers? My main account unbanned. Yeah, I wouldn't get to play on it very long, but at this point I don't even remember what I had in storage and I just want to know.
On a broader scope? Release the server software so we can get a /pol/ server or something set up.

offline version and being able to change whatever i like (so that if i'd have to start all over, i dont need to do my chars with help anymore, cuz thats impossible without multiplayer)then that dev skill would be mine (the lifesteal version, lol) and heroes can use it too, although i'd give it a recharge of 5 sec, and wont need it once i got everything back the way i have it now
(now that i think about it, i also could make troll unguent and save yourselves having duration of 2 hours, and dont end even if you die... and SY being all allies, even spirits)
anyway, i'd hope for at least that once they quit... and if i'd be able to continue, instead of starting over, i'd use that kinda "cheats" for insane places only (like UW)
having it on LAN would make it even more awesome, then a friend and i could cheat through stuff he'd need (he's not as good as i am at GW anymore), and when done, we can use normal skills :P

Make it a an Sp /Mp game with editors.

Unlock the BAMPH! skills on the live server and give us access to it :]

EDIT: Base Defense would be cool too.

You would need to buy the full game with everything on it.You would also have to download your account/s.
I don't think this would happen any time soon as it is costing that much to keep the servers running and doing tourney updates.

Release the game to play OFFLINE.
Grant the tools and/or capability to balance and/or redefine skills [ex: add conditions or kd's to a skill, increase/decrease cast/recharge times, health/mana costs, make a spell single-target, nearby, in area aoe, etc., decrease/increase loot, and so on, and so on...].
One can dream, anyway...
This, basically. Make the BEST editors EVER! Give us as much power to balance skills as the developers ever did. Best "servers-going-down" thing Anet could possibly ever do, in my book!

@Anet:
Give us the power to become psuedo-developers of GW1.
You can go all kinds of right with this. You'd easily fulfill the many fantasies of your community by doing this.

I really don't see this happening if so NCSoft would sell the game off to some other publisher for some revenue.
Shasgaliel
For me offline mode as well.
Reverend Dr
Release the server code.
Arato
An announcement of an offline single player or private server version, and allow you to download all your current characters and stuff on them.
Anything else, it doesn't matter what they do it'll be disappointing to see the servers go down.

I'd certainly want to see them releasing the code, if only to see if it's possible to restore Hero Battles.
Nakatsu_Hime
The ability to see at least one of your GW1 characters in the GW2 world. I so miss my Elite Bonelace armour.

That would never happen and why 1 all you need is freeed up char slots.

I expect this song to be played in-game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=didzxUkrtS0

Public apologies for screwing both their original game by abandoning it prematurely, and its long-awaited sequel, by developing an half-baked, uninspired korean MMO clone.

But, on topic, I'd like to run around that secret room behind the xunlai storage in kaineng center lol, but of course I'll be gutted when they take down the servers, but at least I have many, many, many fond memories.

are they actually going to take them offline??
just started playing again after a long break, I'm a casual anyway, only done 50% of nightfall campaign since 2007 :P
