Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has been brought up already, but here goes nothin’.

As a player of the original Guild Wars (since 2006 may I add), I developed an appreciation for the lore, characters and storylines presented, especially everything having to do with Ascalon. There are some truly nostalgic things ArenaNet has placed into GW2 that I have really enjoyed thus far, but with the advent of Fractals of the Mists and the Ascalon fractal, I have begun to toy with the idea of having either more Fractals visiting key historical events just like that or having something similar to the Bonus Mission Pack in the first Guild Wars.

The biggest thing I want to play through is the timeframe that is mentioned in short detail in the books lying around Ebonhawke (The Founding). It sounds like it would be a really neat flashback to revisit. And I think it would be a proper tribute to Gwen, Keiran and the Ebon Vanguard. Closure, even. Just leaving their story where it stood in the original Guild Wars and just giving us pages to read here and there and having graves to visit in GW2 and a torn up Eye of the North instance doesn’t feel quite finished, if you get my meaning. I’d like to actually visually see that period of time where they were recalled to Ascalon and then deployed to the south, and the battles they then endured against the Charr. Maybe just a battle flashback, or two. Anything would be nice. :)

Just a thought! I’m sure the team has plenty already on their plate and there’s plenty of higher priority things to focus on but I figured I’d try dreaming aloud.

Does anyone else wish to see something like this eventually? Are there any particular events you would be interested in? Would you prefer it be like the BMP, or it be some kind of other setup?

ABSOLUTELY!!!

I have always thought that they should add this to the game. It would be awesome to be able to relive historical aspects of GW1 within GW2, perhaps even replaying some of the most popular GW1 missions. It might even be the best way to move forwards with any GW Beyond content they had planned on adding to the game, which doesn’t seem like it will ever really be included in the original GW because of the trim down on personnel.

GW Beyond content in GW2 would be wonderful. Also, replaying GW1 missions in GW2 would also be really neat, though I can’t think of many reasons why they would create remakes/revamps of already existing missions. Still, it’s a cool concept. :)

I vote the Nolani mission!

This would be interesting to see . As much as i hate them how about seeing the seering from the Charr perspective or the awakening of Caithe maybe even the Cataclysm or rise of Orr
