I’m tempted to get the Captain’s Airship Pass but am concerned that once this event is ultimately over, the “Havoc’s Heir Airship” will be gone. Do we have confirmation from Anet that all of the services offered would always be available from the airship at all times in the future? I’m assuming that at some point in the future some way or some how a new permanent hub will be built somewhere instead of using the temporary Vigil Keep and I’m worried at that time if the airship will no longer be needed and thus my pass is completely worthless.

Please leave out any discussion over if the pass is worth it and any “pay gating” content as there’s plenty of other threads that have turned into that already. I simply want to know if at least everything currently listed as being offered will be available to people who purchase the 1000 gem item for as long as the game is running.

The airship will remain in the world after the event.

What I am more interested in is, whether it will remain over Gendarran Fields indefinitely or if there is a chance it will move if/when we retake Lions Arch (or when there is another more permanent hub, because I find it hard to believe the current setup is the status quo going forward long term).

As it is an airship it would be a lot of fun to see it move about as living stories return and develop. It could float above the Labyrinthine Cliffs when that returns for example. It could sail on towards uncharted lands as they become discovered/added into game. I very much like the idea that it would be changing location every month or so in a way that feels tied to the LS.

Successful opportunism is often indistinguishable from a masterful plan.

I was also wondering if the airship will always stay on the current location. It just could go to the city in case we ever get one back. I was wondering before airship if we eventually will have a VIP location in all cities.
If it stays in Gendarran… that location might be pretty boring afterwards. :/

…If it follows updates to new locations… that should be interesting.

Your pass wouldn’t be worthless if that happens. It would give you instant access (with free return to where you were when you entered) to the amenities. Whereas those who don’t buy the ticket have to go to WvW then to Lion’s Arch (sitting through loading screens) and can only get back to where they were by paying waypoint costs.
