Wow… I feel like I shouldn’t have to do this but apparently I do.
There is no such thing as “GW1 Lore” or “GW2 Lore”.
There is just “GW Lore”.
Both events are of significant interest to an actual lore fan because they both contain new lore.
Of course, all the lore together from both games constitutes Guild Wars Lore. Just like there’s world history but we can divide that history into different periods .. Greeks, Romans, medieval, renaissance, etc.
In the same way we can divide GW lore into two eras for the purpose of discussion (lore introduced in GW1 and lore introduced in GW2.) much like ancient history and modern history. I don’t see the problem.

I’d divide the lore into four periods.
- Ancient Lore (Pre Guild Wars 1)
- Post-Searing Lore (Guild Wars 1, Prophecies through Great Destroyer)
- “Beyond” Lore (Guild Wars Beyond and up until the release of Guild Wars 2)
- Current Lore
I’d also put a fifth category
- Secondary Canon Lore (Extra bits NOT found inside the games themselves.)
Because that stuff is flexible, and may be changed without warning.
kitten . I forgot my tinfoil hat before reading this thread.
Maybe its me, but i dont like to press the mouse button 200 times to vote ( have 200 vote tickets ) isnt there a way to just put them all in the basket?
For now i stop voting only because of this lol
Be glad that it doesn’t ask you for confirmation through a prompt window for every vote.
As a big fan of Guild Wars 1’s lore I have to say I hope the Abadon fractal never gets made because I don’t trust the Anet of today to do it any justice. They will just retcon everything we know into making Humans look bad and Charr amazing just like every other time old lore is brought up. Might as well get the reactor one since it will be new info and we won’t have to bang our heads into a door at the stupid retcons.
I also find fractals to be boring grinds and I don’t really think that is the way they should be providing lore to the people. So if the Gods do make a return to GW2 at some point I hope it isn’t stuck behind that stupid agony mechanic.
Living Stories aren’t perfect but they are better way of giving stories so I am voting based on which character I like better. Cheaper waypoints are just a bonus.
