This is an idea stolen from LOTRO but I loved it.

Add an ability or area/object (in LOTRO it was mirror objects) that allows you to access historical instances or dungeons, both from your personal story and living story, that way if people miss stuff or particularly enjoy things they can ‘go back in time’ and re-live them.

It was often used in Lotro to help people further down the story, which isn’t applicable here, but if you really enjoy a particular story instance (unlikely I know), you could re-run it.

For instance the Flame and Frost dungeon was great fun, it would be a shame to lose it. We could re-run it with this system and show new players some of the history behind the old updates they see on the site.

I would prefer it if the unique rewards were only available during the event as something special but as long as you got some silver back it would be fine.

Either way this would be a great way to fill some time if you have done your stuff for the day and want to pop back with a new friend and experience something you enjoyed.

I still think Molten Facility should be part of the fractal of the mists.

I don’t like the random aspect, the point here being that you can pick the bit you like, not gamble to maybe play a warped version of it.

Fractals of the mists is a dungeon where you journey through the memories that have been lying in Tyria.
Maybe one day we’ll be able to choose the fractals but the Asura team of FoTM weren’t able to implement this feature nor is their development far enough.
We should help them maybe some day they’re able to implement this feature.

I just think having objects standing around the world will fill up the world once we past the 100th living story not to mention the personal stories of each character (saving coordinates and stuff).

Doesn’t have to be an object per story, I was thinking more of a menu option, pick which ‘memory’ of Guild Wars you would like to visit.

Oh, ok and where should you be able to see the menu?

To be honest its what i think the Fractals should be but I dislike the ranked, almost competitive and random nature of it, but some form of portal would be appropriate with a historical theme, maybe something in old Ascalon you have to find to emphasise the historical theme?

The JP’s from halloween and Wintersday are very likely to reappear, unlike the Molten Facility dungeon. So I’d say no to missed JP’s.

If you could access them from somewhere easy like that, maybe a new living story menu in your hero panel, plus it would need a short story to describe the events leading up to the dungeon.
