For the second chapter... Do we have to have the first chapter (this GW) installed? I'm running low on HDD space :|

My guild name not know you must.

i dont think so, thats very improbable. Few expansions have the original game in it..

The general discussion I have read/heard is that chapter 2 will be a stand alone game, not requiring the original. Characters from chapter 1 can cross over but I would think you would need chapter 1 installed as well

NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT AN EXPANSION.

it will contain new content equal to or greater than the original game.

it will also be full price for a new *CHAPTER* of GW

it says all FUTURE chapters will be optional but that hints the original will be needed.

if so a promotion of buy chapter 2 get chapter 1 for free would sell a lot

what does this have to do with this thread? ^???


I thought I had heard that sometime in Feb. was the release...I could be VERY wrong here. If it is a stand alone game, then how will bringing your characters over be beneficial? When I hear stand alone, I think that you start from scratch...lvl 1, no skills. If I bring in 2 lvl 20's with max armor and max weapons will those items become useless? I do plan on going with the new classes that will be available but how do you think your old classes will work?

FIRST HALF 06 NOT JAN/FEB

Our maximum level is twenty and you hit that very quickly, after about 20-30 hours of play. ,We call that 'The Point of Ascension'. Almost all of the content in the game and in the future Chapters is only available to Ascended characters, which means we don't have to worry about providing different levels of content. All the good stuff will be available to everyone. It's not our intent to force people onto the levelling up treadmill, so the level cap in Guild Wars is almost meaningless.

the one thing GAILE/ALEX have yelled is that the only forum you can use for dates is the GW site and everybody else is guessing.

my guess is late april for a 1 year anniversary

1) 'Tis SET in stone.

2) Just because of all the blind spam in the beginning, here's what I know:

-Chapter 2 will most likely be a buyable expansion or something, not a free update like Sorrow's Furnace.
-ANet would NEVER betray us with monthly fees. If it does come out in the form of an expansion, it'll still be a onetime fee to buy it.
-There may or may not be a downloadable .exe setup file that you can acquire on their site by paying via paypal (I've seen it done for other games).
-If it's stand alone, you may be given the opportunity to do new characters, or transfer over your normal GW characters.
---
Just what I think so far. I'm just a lvl 8, I'm not too interested in discussing these matters at the time.

mostly wrong.

not an expansion.

it is a new CHAPTER with a full games content and a full games price.

your characters will be able to continue in chapter 2 and there will be additional character slots to try the new professions.

Quote:
How much will additional chapters cost?

Guild Wars is priced at a comparable cost to other first-tier PC games. The subsequent chapters of Guild Wars will be comparably priced in relation to other games.

If Arenanet decides to tell us anything about Chapter 2, you'll see it on guildwars.com. Otherwise, we don't know and we don't need more endless speculation and the same questions over and over again. Closed.
