Guild Wars 2

I’ve heard they are only going to be available to those who purchase the expansion and wanted to know if that was true.

Because if they actually would force us to buy the expansion for something they have been promising us since day one, I don’t really have words for that.

Judging from the blog post today, the guild halls are going to be only for those with the expansion (as they’re located in the maguuma wastes).

For people that don’t have the expansion, you’ll be able to use the Guild Initiative building in Lion’s Arch which will have at least some of the same functionality(?), if not the customization.

Edit to add something from the article about the GI HQ.

We’ve used new technology to make the Guild Initiative Headquarters an instance that is shared by you and your guild members. While the Initiative Headquarters is not a full guild hall, it will provide access to existing features that we’re moving out of the guild panel for those guilds that do not upgrade to the expansion.

thanks, I was afraid of that.

How does a guild upgrade to the expansion? Do they mean that a guild leader/officer has to upgrade? Or everyone in the guild (which was too absurd to consider prior to the pre-purchase announcement)? Or do enough guild members to complete the guild hall acquisition process have to upgrade, and everyone else in the guild gets to use it after that (which doesn’t seem ideal for small guilds, but all things considered, I don’t want to make assumptions about the company’s priorities)?
