Rework Living World Season 1
Yea it’s something they want to do, but figuring out the best way to do it and then implementing it is a huge task. I’m sure they’ll do it sometime, just not anytime soon. If you want to fill in the story parts you don’t know here’s a pretty good summery: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_season_1
“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.”
So it depends on whether or not they will find it profitable enough to rework it into the new journal’s format. Also keep in mind that the vast majority of Season 1 was for large-scale fights, as opposed to Season 2’s smaller group or solo based instances. So trying to remake Season 1 as solo or small group content will take a great deal of time.
Imo, make LS1 accessible through the FOTM instance. Dessa found fragments of history flying through the mists blah blah. That way the story can progress in the open active world, changing over and over while FOTM has portals to old maps (servers) with LS1 active.
hey I was looking for this, turns out we got the the same idea. it would be really great if we can purchase the whole package like season.2
Since it is on topic:
This is exactly why LS1 should be unlock-able and purchasable like LS2.
I don’t disagree. We’ve stated before that we hope to one day rebuild LW Season 1, but we’re focused on HoT development right now.
So if Season 1 becomes replayable, it’ll be after HoT. It will also be in the format of Season 2 (which is likely easier than turning them into Fractals as they’d have to make new maps, voice record dialogue for Dessa, and more – just look at how different the two dungeons are as fractals).
At least they got that recap out now. Took them long enough.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Given that I have strong suspicion that all the work done on living world season 3 was quickly turned into HOT when it became clear that more revenue was required to maintain the game, I am hoping that Season 1 personal story will be one of the as yet unannounced features of said expansion.
