Replayable S1 when?
They never promised it, but Colin did say this:
Also, because Season 1 of Living World was not built with the Journal in mind, it will not be available in the story Journal on initial launch when Season 2 begins. We do hope to add Season 1 to the Journal in the future.
I’m sure Colin hopes Guild Wars 2 will eventually become the bestselling MMO of all time, but that doesn’t mean he will promise it.
I would love to see it, but making Season One replayable is unlikely to be an easy task, and given the need to focus resources on new content, it may never end up actually happening.
But you never know. Maybe it will happen.

It is something they want to do, but as said above, it is not a promised feature. I believe a dev answered only last week that there is no further update on a replyable S1 at this time.
Unfortunately they’ve only stated that they want to – both what Majic said from Colin and Bobby Stein’s posts throughout this thread.
I recently asked him about an update and this was his response:
On a similar topic: Now that HoT is out, is there any update to be had regarding Season 1 being made permanent content?
Not at the moment.
Is it still simply on the table, has it been taken off the table, is it on an up-coming to-do list without an ETA, or perhaps it is being worked on?
We’re inspecting the table, since it often has a lot of things on it. No ETA on when the inspection will be done, but it’s on the list.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
