Guild Wars 2

When there are no guild wars.

There were no guild wars in the first game either, it’s a reference to a historical period before GW1.

Edit: Also I imagine it’s because it sounds cool.

Because Charr Titan Afflicted God Destroyer Dragon Wars 2 wasn’t very catchy.

You don’t change the name of a franchise just because the game has changed. Star Trek Deepspace 9 took place on a space station, not a starship. They weren’t trekking anywhere, but it was still called Star Trek.

What a silly thing to say, since DS9 fired up its engines and trekked to the wormhole in the first episodes, lol. Also they got a ship later and travelled all over the place in shuttles.

Anyway, its Guild Wars. Literally. We have plenty of beefs with other guilds in WvW. Thats not why its called Guild Wars of course. Doesnt really matter.

It’s called Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns now. Let’s be factual.

There have been other shows/series that didn’t change names though the topic has changed too. The point is you pour money, real money, into building an IP. You don’t rename a series just because the IP experiences changes.

Star Trek was about a trek to the stars. It was about the voyage of the Starship Enterprise which traveled around (sort of like a trek).

Whether DS 9 moved in an episode or 2, the entire story wasn’t about a trek at all. It followed for the most part, a single world, a single space station and the relationship between the two.

I was a diehard trek fan for a long long time and every fan I’ve ever talked to acknowledged the major differences between DS 9 and the rest of the series, all of which had ships that moved around through space to different locations all the time.

The Guild Wars were a historic reference even in Guild Wars 1, but they didn’t take place in Guild Wars 1. Only a foolish company would change the IP name, even if the game changed, because there’s so much money tied up in recognition.

im sure there were gvgs in the first game…

This is the correct answer.

Combine with franchises keeping their names and you’ll understand.

No, it had nothing to do with the GvG aspect of GW1. If you want to know more, it’s in the wiki.

i wish it was called jumping puzzles 2 so it didnt have any jumping puzzles
