Guild Wars 2

Hello, so recently i heard this rumor about how this game might be closing down this year? this actually worried me a bit because i just started this (alongside some friends) and if this is the case i don’t want to bother playing anymore, i really hope this is not the case as i have enjoyed this game more than any other in years.

PS-The rumor was about a big change, but the people did mention it could mean the end of this game. I hope someone responds soon

LOL, no the game isn’t going to shut down this year. I’m not sure the source of your rumor but you need to ignore them.

The only thing we surely know is that GW2 is not closing any time soon.
Maybe a big announcement soon for the first expansion of the game.

Ah thank you so much, i’m actually playing right right now, and i was really upset when i heard about this, thanks for the fast reply!

Someone was trolling you. It’s not closing down. They plan to attend Pax South and of course they say they have lots of stuff to announce then. That’s the Big Change mentioned.

Welcome to GW2, I’m certain you have plenty of game time ahead of you.

According to the last NCsoft report (the company that owns Anet), Guild Wars 2 is still making money. There have been no lay offs. The company is still hiring. We’re still getting regular updates.

Companies that are about to close their game usually lay off people and stop making more content. What’s the point of making more content if you’re closing? Why not just fire those devs?

This game isn’t anywhere near closing.

That’s probably why the rumors exist.

Except they aren’t laying anyone off and still putting out content????

That is not totally true.

City of Heroes was still making money and still making new content when NCsoft killed it.

Hell, they never got to release Issue 24.

It wasn’t make a lot of money though. Look at where it was on the scale of NCsoft’s other projects at the time. And no one really knew if it was making a profit. That’s another thing. Guild Wars 2 is performing to expectations. NcSoft has said as much. Obviously City of Heroes was performing below expectations. In public companies, sometimes expectations are everything.

Edit: Anyway it is true because I used the word usually. If you look at 90% plus of the MMOs that closed, I’m pretty sure you’ll see what what I said was usually true.

What if the announcement is…

Guild Wars 3?

While the content output here is very lackluster, remember that recently NCSoft ordered massive layoffs through out all of their studios except ArenaNet. The game is far from healthy given the attitude of most of the playerbase (disclaimer: not all) towards ArenaNet, but the fact that NCSoft saved ArenaNet from layoffs means that the game is not going away anytime soon.

The players, on the other hand….

The only thing we know is the game is we do not know… might close down this year might not…anet don’t tell us anything till it happens.

I feel bad for the OP. Due to the fact Anet stonewalls their playerbase, there wasn’t anywhere for the OP to go for official news and updates. +1 Community.

this game is actually increasing in population believe it or not, its not anywhere near closing
