I feel like they did a pretty decent job putting in old relics from GW1. Things don’t match up perfectly most of the time, but that’s to be expected. We can blame massive tidal waves and a higher ocean level for a lot of it. The rest is just meticulous map alignment. What I’d like to see though is more stuff actually PERTAINING to these old relics. I like moving ahead. It’s all nice and fun, but I fell in love with GW lore because of the rich back story that is never ever spoken of anymore. It’s a somewhat unpopular opinion, I think, but in GW1, I absolutely loved Nightfall, because while it was dealing with current events, it explained a LOT about Tyria’s past. These days it just seems like the maps simply have these relics and locations just to reassure you that it IS the same world, but nothing else. “Here lies the remains of Granite Citadel” Cool. What happened there? Why’s it so important? Why was it abandoned? Can we use it today? “Who cares! Shiny Sylvari boss fight time!” With the dragons being ancient things always existing in Tyria, and their ties with ancient races, you’d think you’d see mor references to the past. And less silly Scarlet coloured distractions (although, I did like the Scarlet story. )
I’ve had this guild since GW 1 and it has never had a huge number of people in it. A combination of me being unsocial and no one being really into the lore so late in the game (I didn’t make the guild until about a year before the launch of GW2). But more to the point, I like the lore of Guild Wars. I like it when people discuss said lore (casually. I notice some people may get rabid on the forums :p). My intent is to make a guild that would function as any guild would, but encourage lore based discussions. It wont be a mandatory thing. This isn’t an RP guild so one won’t be required to talk about all GW all the time, but it’d be nice if like minded individuals would like to come in and have discussions here and there and do basic guild activities. If you’re interested or have questions leave a reply here and I’ll try to respond accordingly.
Edit: it might help if I included the name of said guild.
