Let’s see if this thread will get deleted or not. That’ll speak volumes.
They could delete it because it’s false information…. just saying.
Can anyone from anet please step up and give some explanations on this?
It’s been an hour since this thread was created, at the end of a work day. Step up? :P
But yeah, they need to nip it in the bud. I’d be gone if it was true, well probably… maybe not. I have a problem.

It’s not false at all. Said by more than enough people before, will say it again, this is a legit datamine. Dulfy.net also confirmed it.

how do you know that is false information?
If i had the beta client i could back this up aswell kitten

Data-mined != true.
There are a massive amount of stuff data-mined that have never been added to the game, even a year after they were first found.

Now with VIP membership….. GUILD HALLS! Anet listened to your suggestions and put them in a nice little VIP package and for a low low price, features that should have been implemented upon release can be yours.
Bug fixes cost extra and aren’t guaranteed to fix the problem and may include new bugs and/or client crashes.
Sounds about right lol

Several things that have been data mined never made it into the game. Lets hope that is also the case with this VIP Membership

Oh, excuse me, I had no idea. Don’t tell me there’s no Santa either.
In all seriousness, even the fact that something like that is considered, is sad and that’s the issue here. Also, it was datamined on the very last beta client of Edge of the Mists, which means it’s really recent, unlike what you mentioned.
Well I’m not surprised and maybe it could even be good for the game like an optional subscription fee so the people who want the perks can pay for them and the devs can spend more time on content and less time on trying to make appealing gemstore gimmicks. Although I am bothered by the wording and the elitism of it like I’m fine with they selling the membership based on convenience items but having it be about “prestige” and being a “VIP” seems a bit wrong to me.

Not saying it wasn’t legitimately data-mined, I just meant that it might not be something that will be implemented.
With that being said, I <3 dulfy, but saying dulfy.net said something doesn’t make me think it’s law :p
I truly hope this is a joke or just something they considered and never implemented/never will.
Otherwise, I think all my hope for Guild Wars 2 to improve is gone.
There is still hope that this is something from the past or even an April fool’s joke …
if not, though, I’m honestly shocked by the direction Arenanet is heading since the start of 2013. That would be too much for me to stick with this game, unfortunately. So much potential.
It’s either a scam or an April Fool’s joke.
Anything I post is just the opinion of a very vocal minority of 1.

Even if this isn’t happening, just the fact that they ever thought of implementing this into GW2 speaks volumes of the whole company.
This is no longer GW1 Arena Net.
Please bring this. Any prestige stuff is instant buy for me.

Why assume they didn’t just add it in there as a joke? They are fully aware that people are actively data-mining everything after all and it would seem quite silly to add something like this to the dat-file without even talking about it first.

Expansions and persistent content require a lot more thought, depth, development, AND TESTING than the shallow, simple, temporary, achievement-driven living story releases. They don’t require a great deal of testing because they’re so small and modular that if there are problems, they’re quickly patched, or at least band-aided, until the next release replaces it. More persistent content, as with a full expansion requires more maintenance and it’s much more apparent when it doesn’t work. Lost Shores was a prime example of how NOT to do an expansion. Bugs all over the place, horrible lag and disconnection problems, and a baron island left there with no real reason to ever go there. To this day the island just doesn’t feel like it belongs in the game.

Please, tell me you are being sarcastic.
I don’t mind a potential subscription plan as long as it doesn’t gate content. I want to support the development of GW2.
However, what I REALLY want to pay for would be a full expansion to GW2. I loved GW1’s model the most of any game I have ever played. So far, Living World has been interesting, but I wish there was something big on the horizon to look forward to versus these smalls releases.
Please bring this. Any prestige stuff is instant buy for me.
Please, tell me you are being sarcastic.
Sarcastic or not, there are thousands who have that attitude. Otherwise Anet would have changed things like RNG boxes (why would they keep them if they didn’t work?).
This latest info about a premium package is sickening, but not surprising that they’d consider or even push to implement it.
Remember, they’ve been talking about “big changes” for 2014.
Where are my gem sales? I want gem sales! Nerf EVERYTHING!
Arena Net needs to debunk this rumour as soon as possible.

Yeah, the big change will be a mass migration to other games if this goes into effect!

I always liked the Karka Land. It’s release went smoothly for me so it was a nice experience, but I understand that bugs ruined it for many. Saying that there is no real reason to ever go there is a little unfair. The area has unique, exotic atmosphere, and is quite beatiful in my opinion. The karkas also provide more interesting fights than most mobs out there.
As for the topic, is it known if this image has been recently added to the client, or if it has been there forever? The former would be much more alarming. Though it could very well still be an april fools joke. Just a little early now xD

It’s in the Edge of the mists client. They plan on releasing that later on in 2014. Might be that they really tought this would be a good april fools joke? Liked SAB better in that case.

So Wait! I’m not understanding why this is a bad thing?
It’s more or less a sub service.
The casuals feel if there is a sub service then people actually willing to pay a sub get a leg up.
The blah blah blah f2p’s feel like it causes their whole argument of “Subs are dead!! Long live b2p and f2p!!” to blow up in their face.
The GW1 lifers feel like it’s just another stab in the back because it’s not the exact same thing as a game in the dirt for five years, and they think they own the rights to what should be called GW, not the developers.
The gem buyers are gonna cry because “But we already bought gems…where’s mine.We’re not as special anymore!”
To the actual MMO crowd? It is a good thing.

I wouldn’t put it past them to apply this though. Remember you could spend $10 to get an infinite continue coin for SAB and then they took it away rendering it useless until it comes back again for another 2 weeks? Also a spend money and get a useless mini. And some suggestions being applied to gem store items. Yeah, this is Anet now and I doubt its a joke.

That is of course assuming that (if it is true) it will require constant payment. It is of course fully possible that it is either a 1 time thing or simply unlocked based on activity and/or gem-purchases.
If it does not require more than one payment (or doesn’t run out) it is in no way a subscription.

Hybrid, not subscription.
This doesn’t make sense. Why would I want to pay (speculating here) for a monthly subscription to get discounts on gem store items. Sounds like they’re trying to make us double dip with our wallets.
If I had to guess, it’s a loyalty program to those who buy gems every month. 20 consecutive months of gem purchases yields higher/more rewards than say, 5 months. If that’s the case, then I’m all for it. I usually limit myself to 10 bucks/month anyways.

Hybrid has subscription, you mean I should change the word model to fee, do not be pedantic. This does not change the point I made or argument against VIP membership.

Hybrid and pure sub models are completely different. So no pedantry involved, just a basic lack of what payment models are by the vast majority of game players.
Given, this would be more of a reverse hybrid model.
And your only point that I can see was that you were quitting because someone else may choose to pay a fee for some nebulous benefits that would not change your experience at all.
More power to you.

This sounds like you nailed it square in the center.
though even so I’d say take out the res buff, prestige and the teleport crap.
and all is good.
