My impression was that in beta and for the first 3-6 months of Live they would happily have lost all the old GW players if only they could have kept the rest. Unfortunately for them it was the GW vets, by and large, who stuck with the new game while most of the curious didn't last three months. The last two years have been a slow, reluctant trudge back towards what the loyal franchise fans want - kind of. They drag their feet every step of the way though.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-36020477355471051852015-09-22T17:19:55.035+01:002015-09-22T17:19:55.035+01:00Your statement about the conflict between the game...Your statement about the conflict between the game's name -- "Guild Wars 2" -- and the fact that Guilds don't actually war is one of the things I frequently ponder. In the original title, "Guild vs. Guild" was one of the main activities, was arguably the key point of the endgame. The tournament scene revolved around GvG, every player had an in-game viewer to watch GvG matches more-or-less real time around the clock, the Guild Hall was stacked with NPC mercenaries that could only be used for PvP (primarily GvG) matches. <br /><br />In many ways, I wonder if one of the key errors made by Arena Net was to make GW2, which is such a very, very different game, a sequel at all. It has left a number of unfulfilled expectations.jonreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384146710365926074noreply@blogger.com
