Has Anet ever mentioned if our characters 'go on' to chapter 2?
Sparrow_Lin
I apologize if this has been asked before but I'm curious. When chapter two comes, will we have to create totally new characters or will our present ones be able to go on to the next chapter. I was just wondering because of the possibility of new races.. like if we would be able to change our characters to a new race or have to create a new one... I don't suppose there has been any info on this?

No apologies and an EXCELLENT question. I would love to know that as well. If they DON'T go with us, we need more storage space.

I would assume that they do since in one FS friday it was stated that there would be content for non-ascended chars as well as ascended. I would take from this that our characters that we're currently doing nothing with(pve completed) will be playable since they felt a need to say you didn't need to be ascended.

Chapter 2 is going to be the first expansion pack ANet releases in early 2006. Their expansions are called chapters because, unlike other games, they plan to have around equal amount in the chapter/expansion as the original game (Chapter 1).

No, you don't HAVE to buy Chapter 2. You can continue playing original Guild Wars. But all those new areas will be off-limits to you. But hey, I'll bring you back a cool-looking new axe from there.

chapter 2 will cost you money (are you paying a monthly fee? no? dont bitch)
This months update is free
wolfy3455
Chapters are expansion packs. You pay for them. People are getting chapters confused with updates. New features are free. Chapters are entirely optional in nature and contain new content and spells. Anet has said that any new spells will be balanced with the old ones (no NR comments, please) so you won't need xpacs to compete.
And please, don't capitalize the first letter of every word.

We don't know exactly what the new chapter will bring. It's not supposed to be available until sometime in the first half of 2006
AznDVL
damn.. lots of people are getting confused about this.
the free "expansion" is the summer update that adds that something furnace area.
chapter two is an expansion with much more content that you have to buy, i remember reading one of the FF interviews which said it would come in the first half of 2006.

And I did read somewhere you will have to buy it in stores, just like you did the first chapter. I am concerned about how they say they will release one every 6 months. I mean, I prefer quality over quantity. Nothing good every came out of a rushed product.

Characters will continue into Chapter 2
Chapter 2 will be available to buy in Q1 next year, hopefully.
Nothing else has been confirmed as to its content other than it feature roughly the same amount of content as the current game, while introducing new skills.

Free updates: Sorrow's Furnace and Grenth's Footprint
These are (hinted) only for ascended characters, although the updates will include some things (and maybe even a small bonus zone, we could hope) for lower level characters. As the name implies, they are free They don't include any new races, but will include new monsters, quests, npc's and items... and the zones of course. Does anyone think (just hit me now) that Grenth's Footprint could involve the catacombs?
Chapter 2: A full expansion. No, a sequel that connects to the previous game. I'm sure we'll be able to bring our characters into the expansion since they're after continuation. And I hope that they include at least 1 new character slot, at least 50% to 100% more storage space and... I really hope it's in Cantha, I'm sure it's in Cantha.

Actually, considering that this will be the equivilent of buying a new GW cd (complete with 100% more space and 4 new slots) that's a very good point. Glad you mentioned it
Loviatar
first half of 06 and full price for a full games worth of new material
Am I required to buy the new chapters in order to continue to play Guild Wars?
No. Every purchase you make in the continuation of the Guild Wars saga will be your choice. If you purchase new chapters, you will gain access to new regions of the world, new skills and abilities, new items, new professions, and much more. And of course such a purchase will support the continued development of the game. However, if you choose not to purchase a chapter, you will still be able to play the chapters of Guild Wars that you own, and you will have common areas in which you will be able to play with and against your friends who have purchased the other chapter(s).
What playable races are there in Guild Wars?
In the first chapter you play characters from the human race. In subsequent chapters of Guild Wars, you may be able to play members of other races.
How many characters
Will I remain competitive if I do not buy the chapters? Will I be able to compete with and against others if I have only some of the Guild Wars chapters?
Yes. Purchasing the newer chapters of Guild Wars will not make you strictly more powerful. You will have access to many more strategic options, due to the expanding nature of the skills, abilities, items and professions that you enjoy with each chapter.

Thank you Loviator for posting that. Too many people come here before looking at the Official site for their information.
