Guild Wars 2

So let me open this by saying that I’m one of those people who never played Guild Wars—you know, the first one. However, poking through some of the lore today, I came across this thing where if somebody got banned or suspended, Dhuum, the original big bad boss of death, actually appeared in game and struck down the character. That’s…possibly the most awesome way to ban somebody I’ve ever seen. Any chance we could get that here? Or did it stop at some point?

Evidence

I support this idea.

I’m definately for having something similar but there’s just a lot more features from GW1 I’d like to see added before going straight for something more cosmetic.

Okay…that is probably one of the most awesome things I’ve seen in quite awhile. Maybe have the Mad King drag them into a portal? Something more universal since we’re not all humans, but I love the idea lol

Unfortunately the current lore disallows Dhuum. However the Mad King could be a possible Dhuum replacement. He could suddenly appear and strike the player dead. Or maybe he could follow the player from place to place, endlessly forcing him to play “Mad King Says” and if he misses one the account gets terminated.

Gaile said somewhere along the line that she’d really like to bring back an epic ban animation like Dhuum, but that there’s no telling if/when it would happen and what it would be if it does.

Wasn’t Dhuum meant to be locked away in the Underworld during GW1 ?
Meaning the lore didn’t support him there either.

But now the active human gods have left. Surely Dhuum’s cage is a bit weaker now, allowing him back out.

Not that I care if the lore supports him or not.

Though I do understand that this would be a very low priority for ANET.

Dhuum bans were hilarious. I would love some form, but, nobody really congregates in an area to see them, like GW1 when they happened at GTOB, Kamedan, or SJM.

In addition, GW1 towns were pretty small, and a Dhuum ban was easy to see.

I would like to take it a step further and have the “to be banned player” teleported to Lions Arch and placed in a Pillory for a day with a sign of what the person did. Then have them placed into the mystic toilet. All players at LA at this time would get a free gift from the toilet.
