I'll probably check it when it comes out, GW2 has its good aspects but it just doesn't feel the same as GW1, I'm scared new Cantha will be an empty shell similar to what PoF has become :(

It will never be the same or beat original Cantha

For real?!! I'm goin home alas!!!

@@smallisbigdoe6550 what are you talking about lmao

@@bobbyxan111 loved PoF but it lacked replayability imo. once you've done the storyline, there's almost no reason to come back. something I hope will change with cantha in gw 2 (even tho I won't be able to play anyway)

did the same, and palnned to make a board game to let her know how wonderfull this game was ...

The endorphin high i get from this music is insane. What I would do to be 12 again

Grear idea, going to do the same! :d

I am glad you all think the same, I am a happy father and not a single day goes by that I think about all my old guildies and it crosses my mind "How are they all doing. I wish they are happy and well"

I use to help me alot

same my old friend, same :)

I agree. Wonderful times. 32 almost

@@sonnyps2 Im back in GW bro haha

Yeah I'm like 4 years younger but I feel it too.. good to meet frenz

so true tho

+Danny Kundzinsh When you make a sequel to a huge world, I expect a huge world in return.....not LESS. I do recognize it took time to develop each expansion's worlds, but just tyria alone is limited compared to just prophecies. Hell, Cantha had more places to go xD

+Jason Burns This is why I have actually left GW2 behind for now because It just aggravates me more and more when they ignore the community. A lot of companies seem to do this lately: Arenanet, Wargaming, EA, Bungie etc. I will be back in GW2 if cantha returns....if it doesnt than I will prob move onto another MMO.

so many friends so many memories all these things lost in time like tears in the rain time to die

indeed....indeed.....

MegaCatVomit we all do as fellow hardcore fans

By far the best MMORPG experience ever, its like we were part of that story, shame GW2 couldn't live up to its steps.

@@synthzee GW2 and their skin loving content. I miss the unique skill building...

why miss it? come back online

@@joej3225 yeah GW2 is all about skins and gems now. Guild Wars was a real competitive game, it was all about skill, intelligence and talent. I miss the tournaments, the favor of the Gods, the pantheon, the PvP with Kurzick and Luxons... We were all equals on the battlefield, the differences between players lied in skills and smart moves. Now it's all about bombing doors and walls at 50 vs 50 in a massive melee lol. Where is the balance now? Man... the feeling of missing these things is strong.

same here dude :')

We all feel the pain... 05' player

Jimmy Eff If only we could go back and experience it all over again :(

Minitell I wish man.

Jeremy Soule IS amazing. He makes so much music. Elderscrolls Marrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim and Online are all his works and you can hear his style and similarities in those compositions as well. Even the music in GW2 is fantastic! I miss this game so much. GW2 had so much hype but in the end just wasn't the same for me.

My experience was almost entirely the same. 16 years old, missed proph and started during the Factions 3-day trial ("day of the Tengu"?). I want to go back in time!

I was 15 and I felt like the only girl in the whole game. hahaha... :D

Thinking about it im sure this was the first game i new a girl who played haha. I stopped playing mostly down to running out of time on it, I picked up Guild Wars 2 on release and was playing in WvW, the group I played with bumped into another group and as I was downing one on them I caught his guild tag which was the same one we used on GW1. I transferred servers on a hunch and ended up meeting 6 of them from over 5 years of not speaking and loosing all contact, one of them was the girl I met back then.

same man, same.

Same here, also started when factions came out. Somewhere around the Dragon Festival time. I still do have the jade wind orbs which remind me of that great time. I don't regret any second I have spent on guild wars. The music was so intense and continues to inspire me to this day. Glad to see people who share the same experience.

+Eliott Duckers Ikr!!!!!

im cryin'

IKR, here's a tissue :P, you're not the only one crying!

I got kinda obsessed with this game when I got it. A good MMORPG that you only needed to pay once as opposed to WoW? Incredible. Then the epic melancholical and beautiful world, with a sky always in twilight, and a hard gameplay. The incredible OST that has stayed with me forever. And the fact that no-one around me knew about this game only added to the air of mystery and awesomeness of it. Also the dark story and really scary zombies (plague) for a 12-year old kid.

@@gerardmasip7177 me too! Literally all boxes checked on your points. I was completely obsessed with this game. The soundtrack was so good that sometimes I’d stay in an area just to listen to it. Not the mention the events! God this game man, makes me wanna cry sometimes.

The fantastic memories in this game will never vanish :)

beotho im 21 i started to play GW at 12, my first online game , this game is deep in my heart...

beotho Same for me, im listening and crying. I have huge sentiment for this game.

+2big4u Not enough players to create the atmosphere it once had.

guild wars 1 never ended its still alive

@@xewi60 Same for me here. Started at 10 with my whole family, now I am 20 and pretty lonely in Gw2. The nostalgia hits me like a truck here.

I've never played GW1 but GW2's soundtrack is definitely better - more memorable melodies, more intricate arrangements, more emotional power.

​ Not even close, GW1 has a much better soundtrack.

Not only is GW1's soundtrack far superior to GW2's but the actual technicality of the game, the challenge and fun of the game, the stories told through the campaigns, blow GW2 out of the water.

In other news: in 2003 the grass was greener.

Guild Wars 2 has included many songs from the original.

Then play it, it's still here.

Ethan Schenck no shit lmao

Ethan Schenck not enough people play anymore, and I'm pretty sure I lost my password

I been playing all day and have seen a lot of people on recently. It's starting to pick back up bro. Lot's of new players on lately that have never played before.

Nick sick dude, I might actually try to get back into my account. Had my favorite armor. Dread mask chaos gloves and elite kurzick everything else lol

I know right...Luxons ftw ! I really wish I could go back in my childhood and play GW again...

+Azartax Same ;(

Luxon here praise thy turtle overlords

I switched often due to changing guilds every few months. Remember, whenever I was a Kurzick I'd call Luxons, Suxons. Whenever I was on Luxons I'd call Kurzicks, Kurdicks. Man 12/13 year old humour was amazing

yams oh my god i completely forgot about those abbreviations, makes me smile so much

the game is quite active at the moment so you might as well get yo' ass online boiii

@@elyzzabeth It isn't the same. I tried to do it. I went back just for lore in prophecies. I knew where my love for the game was and I could see it, but I couldn't feel it. It just wasn't the same. I got down to frostgate I think it was and I remember the laughter with friends as we got smashed by the large cannon balls. I remember all the spiders coming up in the jungle and ripping off my face and enjoying it. Now it seems too easy (as I have grown up :(). I replayed factions and I realized how short it really was, not that it was bad at the time but now it was like, wow, this isn't the same. Alliance Battles spending endless hours in there pushing for the luxons, and now, stalled at one point . Guild vs Guild at its it finest, reaching the top 50 in my guild was so amazing and now it is full of bots and henchmen . This game will always be in my memories and the good times that I had. This track helps me relive them and god bless ^^.

@@robsoe Same for me. The memories and feelings are still here but that's all. The game is empty now compared to the millions playing it ten years ago. You can't forget that feeling of sharing a common thing with thousands of persons everyday.

I'm honestly real glad they didn't close it up in the end. And there's not at all as many ppl playing as there used to be, but you can still find players around. I still enjoy playing today, got happy as heck when I found I could recover my account from when I was 11 xD

you mean the echowald right?

@@n.c.kupfermann1023 No even in the cities and slums..

;_;

We all know that feel, bro...

I probably was the guy who standing right next to you in Shing Yea.

Guild wars is still around - granted, the player numbers are nothing like they used to be, but Guild Wars is still alive and well, and believe it or not it's possible to find people talking in the major outposts still.

Orientalmentor um, have you guys forgotten it's actually Shing JEA?

We spread the message to all GW vids I see

Cantha has since then been confirmed. I was over the moon... finally get to revisit my favorite areas from GW1

+Raptor Jesus Miss Fort Aspenwood, too ... :(

NightwishaL sniping from the walls as a ranger was amazing :D

+Raptor Jesus tipHug

+Raptor Jesus Boy did you get it right. GW2 didn't nearly catch the magic that GW1 had. Even the music for GW1 so sublimely paints the perfect picture. Ahh I miss that game, and I feel bad for Anet, who just don't seem to have a clue!

I feel that the problem with GW2 is that it's just too easy. It doesn't capture the challenges we faced in GW1, I still remember failing a mission repeatedly and the rewarding feeling that was finally beating the final boss! I have never failed a single mission in GW2...

+HompieGompie indeed it is!

I never asked for this... Adam

And that's why Luxon > Kurzick

It might have it again in the new cantha expansion \o/

@@ImmortalityV oh really? I'll have to check that out

@@ryanv640899 yeah! It's just been teased currently but on the website the most recent post. Last paragraph, i can hear the music already... The hype is real!

Nice. I really enjoyed the factions expansion. Probably my favorite

Yes! I'm glad they did incorporate some of the music from Factions into that gw2 expansion. It really showed that they still love the fans that have played gw1 during its prime.

+Arlindo Baby please “val” I have it, but sicne they abandoned it the lag makes it totally unplayable, I gave up :/

lag? i dont get any lag on it

@@Ninnisha I no have lag..

i lost my passwords ... Got all expansions ... so sad.

@@frederiqueleguennic7816 write to arena net if they still exist haha

Start gw2 like I did, you can display titles above your name which you have earned in GW1 like "God Walking Amongst Mere Mortals" to show were a true passionated gw1 god :)

Rather display it in GW1 and throw the shit GW2 into the bin.

Kevin Guillemette been playing GW1 10YRS ago and wished GW2 was the same but hopefully they make a remaster version down the line. Also would through GW2 out of the window if I bought the entire GW1 set again.

Pareil...cette vidéo me donne des frissons...mais comme on dit toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin

Leïla Laurent Passez vos Facebook, pourquoi pas refaire un personnage .. En tout cas nous sommes une génération très chanceuse d'avoir connu un tel jeux ...

i want to see those screenshots!

I LOVED Guildwars. especially the variety in builds and team composition. I had Obsidian for Warrior, Necromancer, Ranger, Assassi, Dervish and Paragon.

Damn, i forgot about my dragon mask. The dragon and chinese new year festivals were always top notch. Never thought id miss those as an adult

Never talk to strangers in kamadan or the monastery likely to get pulled into some kinky shit xD

I had a gay kid tried to woo me at the Monastery once 🤣

beautiful comment

Yup, Luxon Theme is probably one of the best songs in GW1 throughout all the expansions. It FEELS like an ocean...it sounds like waves and time and tradition all compounding into one. Soule is a master at creating diegetic music that feels like it is part of the environment you are in. This is why this soundtrack and frankly all of his work is legendary, it becomes part of the world rather than just a soundtrack to it.

You Must be 29 now?

@@Jaguartmb turning 30 this year, still has alot of love for this ;)

I was no longer there for 3 years, until yesterday. All the people are gone. All cities empty.

***** I'm not In Kamadan. Nightfall I just played through and made the title lightbringer, nothing else. Nightfall was the worst add-on of all for me.

Sad times. But rejoice! Cantha is returning in gw2 \o/

@@ImmortalityV that doesnt bring his friend back

henry commentcava 2015 A f***ing jungle, a colossal new World vs World map (which may as well have multiple freakin timezones), a new class, a new specialization - trait line for the existing classes, and on top of that, YOU CAN GO INTO SHIRO FORM!

Charlie Crowley "shiro form" actually just a picture of shiro above you

+Max Strandberg Well, you get to do stuff Shiro did (within balance reason). But yes, you get his picture above you.

+Ethan Savickas The expansion sounds like it has one good part - raids. The map sounds like another bad iteration of world events, the music may pick up - but I highly doubt the awful story will balance itself out. I miss GW1 story and feel :)

+JT Nightingale I am just at a loss here. ArenaNet hears that we want cantha, and elona.....and than they say "hmm....naw raids and jungles sound much better for your experience..." WAT?! I am sure there are others but me and my entire guild went on to different games because we just got bored of the depth devs and the same old PvE shit.

You re absolute right dude. Even GW2 was less emotional with sound (except Fear Not this Night)...I feel a lot of nostalgy since almost 20 years...and no game can fix it...just GW...but no more people inside and the guild is done since...sad...

Same here

In praise of an eternal savior of the Kurzick.

Checking in again after 16 years!
