What happened with GW population? HoH? Ascalon?

What happened with the population of Guild Wars. I go into Ascalon City, and there are 6 districts, and i can easily get into the 1st one. It used to be a madhouse trying to get in. Also, there is 1 district in all the HoH arenas i go into! What the hell! I know its 9 AM on a Monday morning, but still, there used to be 20+ districts at that time too.

Any ideas?

3 Words:

Guild Wars Factions

There's a thing called GW: Factions.

well it looks like things are calming sown again becouse pll r heading bak to tyria,but i will never really be the same again..but what will hapen after chapter 3 ?..gulp

Translation: Well it looks like things are calming down again; because people are heading back to Tyria. It will never be the same again, but what will happen after chapter 3.

For your sake a spellchecker.

Is there a seperate HoHing spot for GW Factions?

If so, what is the name?

Why does he need that when there's grammar teachers proof-reading the forums? lol

Maybe they'll move back to Tyria again, after 3 months when chapter 3 comes out.

HoH is still accessed from the usual place, Heroes' Ascent.

There is an inert PvE simulacrum of the HoH accessible through the ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings, but it isn't the same.

Go to international. Theres usually 5+ districts there.

Factions being out does not account for the lack of a Tombs/"HA" population, seeing as Factions just copies and pastes those same 9 maps from Chapter 1 into itself (and then calls it a "new continent" ) and lets all the "Factions players" play on them if they want to.

I attribute the massive population loss in Tombs/"HA" due to the fact that most people who wanted a tiger already got one months ago hence they have no worthwhile reward left to continue playing on those 9 old Chapter 1 maps. And playing the same 9 maps over and over again ad infinitum grows quite wearing and boring. Especially since sigils are worthless hence there is zero point whatsoever to winning on the HoH map.

In summary: no decent rewards for winning in Tombs/"HA" combined with stagnation of the same 9 Chapter 1 maps being pasted into Factions instead of new content equates into that aspect of the game dying.

LMAO have you even played factions ? , the maps are completely different!

Navaros atleast play factions before flaming it, because i cant believe you already have with that comment.

I'm talking about Tombs/"HA" maps, and no they are not different.

At least read posts before flaming it.

Gaile also mentioned something about streamlining the district system so more people could be accomodated in a single one, reducing the need for double-digit districts. I can't remember exactly where though

There should be no "but still" in that sentence, as the reason is obvious. Go back in a few hours or tonight and there will be 3-5 districts as usual.

no there isnt, but who wants to do HA when you could be playing a totaly new game?

the ppl that moved to Cantha are mostly farmers, who were stuffed with cash and kept playing to kill free time by farming, chatting on local chat, selling stuff, runing and trying new "exotic" builds.

now they got a new game. its not like they would start doin missions with you. those who want to do missions are still there, i cheked.

theres still some of them there, but those:

1-didnt buy farctions, or
2-ran out of cash, or
3-helping a guildie/friend or
4-all of the above

The game seems to auto pack more into fewer districts now, when the game was first released the last like 15 distrcits of ascalon had fewer than 5 people in it.

I'd like to see the data you used to make this hasty generalization. I mean if there is a significantly larger farming population compared to those doing missions (which is large)... then well... GW population must be huge.

Curious.

There still aren't many districts in Factions areas either.
