Guild Wars supports skg

It wasn't supposed to be like this Jeet bros, why are they betraying their fellow devs?

okay

Babelmediasissies, how will we ever recover?

Our response will be swift and fierce

I might be ESL, but this doesn't necessarily read as GW2 is supporting it, just a streamer and "a dev".

Makes sense considering they're still running the GW1 servers today. By their own words "it cost practically nothing to run"

>>715248002
But it's competition for gw2

>>715248507
They actively encourage you to play both by giving you GW2 rewards for doing stuff in GW1.

Guild wars is still being sold full price and it's an entirely different beast. There's no competition, it's the same company. They even had a few meaningful updates to GW1, mostly more graphical niceties. The events are all still running and people are still playing it. There's a small dedicated skeleton crew still working on Gw1 who are happy and proud to be doing so. There are still updates and fixes being rolled out in current year. Nobody is expecting anything but they are still doing it.
This is how legacy titles should be handled.

The continued existence of GW2 is marketing for GW1 so that people keep being reminded that there is a reason that they stopped playing games released after 2007.

Same thing with FFXI and this one still has a subscription

VP of EU parliament supports SKG

>>715247312 (OP)
how does GW2 intend to facilitate GW2 existing into perpetuity? Are they getting ready to release server code?

>>715253964
>code
they can just release a simple binary that lets 2-16 people play together.
keeping the binary running forever using VMs is the user's job.

>>715250213
FFXI is still getting updates to this day. Events, class updates, mob tweaks, additions, etc. It's not just bug fixes. They stopped getting expansion packs but it hasn't stopped the live service.

Technically speaking, this company is one of the best ones for this shit, since they have had GW1 servers up for years since 2 released and they don't have in sight closing them since it costs them like some few hundred dollars to keep them up.
So no wonder some of their developers would be in favor of this initiative.

>Paragon and Ritualist are back as elite specs
>Anet seems to be supporting skg otherwise that dev wouldnt be there risking his job
Now we just need GW3 to take the good parts of both GW and GW2 to become the greatest game of all time and every dev in the world must be forced to submit before such a glorious divine video game and accept it as their god!

the real test is what they'll do with GW2 in a few years when GW3 releases (or whatever the new MMO they've been working on for the past several years is gonna be)
