Guild Wars 2

Yes, this is probably an oversaturated and way too often asked question, but are we gonna get old lion’s arch back? Even if it’s just as an explorable map after completing your PS or something. I really liked the old map and i would love to see it back, preferably as an instance.
What do you guys think? Should Anet put it back in? I mean, they still have the map files…

What purpose would it serve other than nostalgia? It’s a lot of work to add a map into the game (the game files are only part of the effort). I’d far prefer that any effort be focused on new maps.

Nostalgia aside (because I didn’t play before it was destroyed and rebuilt), I think that OLA was just hands down a better city.

Now I don’t think that is enough reason to assign developer resources to bringing it back, but I would very much like it if the map did come back.

I agree, the old LA was the better city. I don’t see a logical way to bring it back, except perhaps through Chronomancy.

Maybe there could be a fractal in old LA, defeat the Marionette or some such thing.

In fact, why does a fractal have to be a dungeon? It could just as well be a way to revisit pre-searing Ascalon or old LA. Maybe they could even sell a gem store pass…

New Lions Arch is just an illusion by Queen Jennah.. kill her.

a fractal in old LA is probably our best bet.

As someone who missed LS1, I’m all for seeing more of it come back in fractals. That would be nice, city or not.

Outside of that, no, I very much doubt it will ever re-exist. Unless we go to Draenor in the past have our own version of a time travel expansion.

Oh please no. That was the final straw that finally drove me away from WoW for good. Once the writers go there it just screams “We don’t care about our game anymore” to me.

I like new LA. Only the new main theme really annoys me, hearing it so many times really takes the joy and excitement out of what I think LA should be accepting of….

Old LA < DR = Black Citadel = Rata Sum < Hoelbrack < The Grove < New LA
