With today release of Final Fantasy 7 on IOS I don’t see any reason GiuldWars1 couldn’t be ported over to the mobile platform. The first PC I played the game on had fare less power then today’s mobile devices. This would bring new life to that game and generate more income for Anet. They are charging $16 for FF7, I’d gladly pay that much if not more to be able to play GW1 on my phone or ipad.

I can’t see that sort of port every working comfortably. All the mobile Final Fantasys have locked cameras at a specific angle, making the switch to a touch screen platform realistic. Guild Wars has way more things to worry about and micromanage on screen. To port they would have to cut serious amounts of content and potentially even lock the camera is a specific position.

Time and Money. The biggest reason not to do that.
To do the port over they’d have to hire people to do the port. Not just the coding, but making the interface more suitable for mobile technology, testing etc. Can you honestly say that they’d make the money back (and more) if they did a port over to mobile?
Life is a journey.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.

final fantasy 7 is a game that was on the first generation of sony playstation. it had the graphics of a gameboy color. guild wars was released eight years later to my knowledge. with a much better engine and graphics capability. point being, playing final fantasy 7 on an iphone 6 would be like playing pokemon red on a game boy. current iphones have vastly more processing power than PS1’s, and can run a game like FF7 very smoothly. Maybe not so much guild wars, or it would, and my phone would blow up after a week.
As quick as the Valkyries ride,
As true as Odin’s spear flies,
There is nowhere to hide.

Not to.mention the size of GW1. I think its around 5-6 gig. I know phones are getting big memory these days, but not everyone springs for the 32gig + option, by the time you add you music and apps, you would be out of space. Nit to mention the heat you phone would produce. If I play asphalt 8 on my windows phone for longer that 10 mins, I’m willing to bet I could cook an egg on it. That can’t be good for the phone.
Also, I’d rather they focus on GW2. I still play GW1 and love it. But it’s done. It will be where it in now. PC only, till the servers are switched off.

Guild Wars 1 is essentially an abandoned game. It no longer has Support. If you have an ncsoft email as your login and didn’t change it to another email, that account was terminated. It’s gone now. There is no way they are going to put the resources into converting a game they have turned their back on.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

5-6 gigs if we’re only talking about Prophecies. I think the entire run of GW (including Beyond) was about 15-20.
I think GW would go free-to-play before we see it on another platform.
