Guild Wars 2

After watching Defiance pilot, I thought how I’d like to see the 250 year period between GW and GW2 presented either on the big screen or as a TV show, I’d prefer the latter. So, that sparkled a question – which MMO would you like to see as a TV show? I’d also like to hear what time period and plot of that game would you like to watch? And since this is GW2 forum, what do you think about Elder dragons awakening being made into the TV show?

unless you have a multi million (billion now?) dollar budget like Game of Thrones and a director / author (in the games case, lore creator/writer or multiple) all on the same page and wanting to achieve the same thing this would completely suck, it is very rare for a game to be made into a great film / tv show as normally the company just sells the rights and washes there hands with it or everyone is left feeling like that in the end.

Eragon is a prime example, a book with flaws but a potential (if a little cliche) great story arc’ yet the film creators completely screwed that up.

I think Shadowbane would of made a good TV show. I was going to say DAoC, but there are plenty of Arthurian legend tv shows out there.

Even though the game it self was not very good IMO, I think The Secret World would make an incredible TV show.

None. Why does everyone want to their favorite games as a movie or TV show?

That’s debateable, considering the book is written so badly that the author either must have been drunk the whole time, suffered severe brain damage or actually be eight years old.

Neverwinter starts today. That would be a fun universe to explore if we could leave Drizz’t out of it but still bring in the Drow.

First time I saw a picture of a drow I said “Ooh, who and what are these guys?” And someone said, “Those are drow and here is a novel about the greatest drow of all! Read it!” So I read it.

Yeah. It was almost as good as the Star Wars prequels. Almost. Still like the drow, though.

As for a Guild Wars movie, I think it would be somewhat poetic if some filmaker with mass quantities of money approached and said, “Oh, hai! I want to make a Guild Wars movie! Here’s a tremendously generous sum of cold hard cash for the rights to do so. Oh, by the way, it’s going to be set in Cantha and will feature everything people loved about that wonderful area!”
