There Is a BIG Problem in Guild Wars 2024...

its already kinda dead...

Not sure this is a BIG Problem... making something out to be The End of the World As We Know It level of paranoid...

They changed the # of players per instance for CPU/server lag ... better responsiveness... If people want to trade? There's a website for that.

I just bought GW. Add me

This is the biggest issue I have with arena net games I have to contend with a ping over 200 due to my location in the world sinve they refuse to put servers anywhere near its pretty much nigh unplayable.

I see no problem leader. It's just been planned that way....

Thumbs up if you like it? ❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤

Love this game. Still play it 15 years 🎉

24 districts!!!??? Damn I’ll just stick to good ole presearing

It's definitely a very low population game, and is infact near dead. I see more bots than active players, most are afk in Kamadan, or are trolls that run around spam trading, thats the few I see. Alot of good things can be said about Guild Wars 1, however it definitely has its share of problems, and lack of creativity, and I understand it is an old game. End conclusion, I doubt the servers will be shut down, and hopefully other people will try the game out.

My game has been constantly crashing

I still need to go back and grind out some titles

This is the most tinfoil hat video of all the tinfoil hat videos.

Lgit ещё жива привет им) я был с ними с релиза игры)

I bought gw1 last year, never worked; they told me my account do not exist when I tried to log after purchase... This account does exists and works for Gw2... I tried everything for a month; nothing to fix it. I paid that game for nothing... They stole my money... I am even more poor, and those bastards are even more rich... Miserable...

I miss guildwars 😞

That's what's happen when a game just stays the way it is and don't really implying any features for the past ten years or so.

Something i always wanted was some sort of world were you can traverse back into how the game was during it's alpha & beta era.

Hi, guild wars isn't dying in fact it got a massive influx of new players recently.
The fact that kamadan is more empty now is because the community helps those new players, and thus are fewer in kamadan.

If I could go back in time I'd go back to 2005 and relive the best damn game ever.

I mean... all things must come to an end. Old school halo servers, CoD servers. Eventually the same will happen to GW1. Hopefully not anytime soon as there's a lot of time invested in accounts and characters. Sadly it will happen. Whether nuclear war comes first, or the destruction of the servers.

Arenanet is the best!=DDDD

I love this game way more than GW 2. Playing Mortal Online 2 currently but how manny players are still playing GW 1

God I miss this game so much

How difficult would it be, for me to reclaim my old account?

Meh. Also for big trades, no one uses kama. 🤣

I havent played in years. But i can only imagine that it is nerfed to hell. Last time i played there were barely anyone playing

Hey man i'm looking for coming back on gw 1. I played since propheties and for 48 month (5800hours) in top 100 gvg 10 year ago ( la résistance française {57}).

I'm this kind of players who have been disappointed by GW2 and Never find another mmo liké this. For me gw IS the best game i Never played.

There IS again people playing gw1? IS ire possible to find people for hoh ? Or uw ?

This game has become a place for a very small clique of real gamers. 80% of accounts are bots. For the rest you can't join groups if you don't have tons of conset AND if you don't know by heart the interesting places like the FoWsc, UWsc, all the SCs things generally speaking. Not only to mention that no fails is admited, so "newbies" arn't welcome. Soon there will only be bots talking to bots in GW1. What a fun for real GW1 has become... Despite what are saying all these old geeks, yes this game is like dead or soon to. In this context what can be the interest of playing such a game it for "real" people?

Thought something weird was going on. Granted, I’m only remaining idle to keep me from losing my guild but usually you have a hard time getting into District 1.

How is not dead already?

Came back to this video now that Cantha new year is happening... Events definitely feel different now with the reduced district sizes. I loved seeing a giant pile on the 9 rings but now it just feels empty and less alive.

I tried playing it just yesterday and it kept lagging for me despite having a gaming pc.

I dont rly like That small Districts cause im trading 4-5h everday and 25% is dis hopping

Legendary game 👌👍

People are moving to newer better MMO's. Anet needs Guild Wars 3 ASAP.

yes Reborn exaggerate a bit :3 it is not that BIG PROBLEM

haven't had any lag issues myself but missed Wintersday this year for the first time ever. Kinda bummed about it but RL got in the way. Surprised this game is still available for us really, given the age of the game and other newer games that ANet are also supporting.

They are experimenting with servers for world vs world in Guild Wars 2. Maybe they made some changes in the infrastructure that affect gw1

Zero lag for me last 2 weeks ... A bit of lag on Wintersday, but not bad. Not really worried about the lower player cap per district. I don't engage all that much with the economy, don't really think it's such a big deal. People will adjust. I'll tell you when you need to start worrying about the game dying, when they delist it from their store and stop selling it. A company would only do something like that if they were planning to pull the plug soon.

these lags happen from time to time, its not the first time and it will not be the last. But dont ask me why they happen :D

Because all in game trading is done via Trade chat, which is limited to just people in the active district you are in this, this is a problem. If Kama is full of Gold selling website advertising bots, then the already small number of players are spread even further out. This is making it very challeging to find a trading match via the In game trade chat.

This is not a problem at all. This was a fix implemented over Wintersday to deal with network issues. I don’t see how this is preventing players from trading. If the district is full the other player comes to you. It’s a keyboard press and a mouse click. It’s not a big deal. Peace.

just reposting bsoltan's comment

I suggest reading the comments from DrStephenCW during Wintersday, it will explain why this has occured.


Something in the Wintersday event causes huge CPU spikes; I reduced the number of players in each district to minimize the odds of this happening
It's hardly a BIG problem in Guild Wars. They may even revert it if/when they fix the issue that causes game lag from Wintersday. Someone did reply to Dr Stephen's comment asking if it could be reverted now Wintersday is over. Maybe they're trying to put a proper fix in place.

I hope the Koreans aren't planning to shut this game down. If they try we need to start protesting

The real problem is it’s impossible to find a group for anything, people really brag about bank standing in kam.

As long as I started playing GW they said the game was dying, I'm talking probably 15 years ago, if not longer.

I think GW1 is the greatest MMO of all time but it does seem like they’re getting closer and closer to getting rid of it. I wish they would just make GW3 identical to GW1 in every way just adding new maps

upgrading districts for a larger amount of peoples was not a good idea in the first place. wintersday fix was in fact a good thing

Would be nice if there was at least someone from ArenaNet who still cared about the game.
