That's going to be REALLY creepy during the middle of the night.

She's been mod smacked a few times and shot down off her pedestal by some "reputable" people over there..

I think if they want to be taken seriously they should definitely back burner her more...Hard to take a movement seriously when you have Ms. Crazy Pants helping steer the bus.

To be fair, considering what was recently posted up on the Titan Network forums (although thankfully TonyV removed the offending post from her, and several replies), I think that it would be *most* beneficial for even Project Z to dump her....

I think she's got the same steering wheel my nephew's 3 year old has.

Hopefully, there's another game that gets shut down so you don't go crazy having to contain your 20-20 hindsight financial prophesying.
I'd suggest they immediately repair to the TSW forums, because if ever a game had an aura of imminent demise, that one does.

See also: Aion, Lineage 2. I would NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED to see one of those close down in the next few months. "But that would make no sense!" Well, duh. Nothing NCSoft does makes sense, really.

These people have a lot of crowing, doomsaying and repetition left to go, soon thier mission here will be over and they can find New Worlds to Conquer. And thank the Supreme Being for that small boon, at least.

And, sadly, after Nov. 30, GW1 will be the only NCSoft game I care about. I still play it (albeit in fits and starts these days) and I still enjoy it. I's the only high fantasy game I retain any interest in.

The GW1 community is no less committed than the CoH one, though (although it's even smaller these days). I would be stunned if there weren't emulators running almost immediately.

It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."

I'm not so sure on that.

There's some kind of system where you can do things in GW1, and get a reward in GW2. Having never played GW1, I'm not sure what it is or how it's done, but it's there. Shutting down GW1 kills that, and gives old GW1 players LESS reason to try out GW2.

Yep, it is when you complete achievements in GW1, they can unlock stuff in GW2. And even now, you can still earn them. And as some achievements are linked to specific expansions of Guild Wars, those players of GW2 could well be tempted to buy the older games to just earn them.

Guild Wars Wiki page

So special titles, weapon skins, special pets for rangers... all bonuses that can be unlocked for having bought and done some achievements in Guild Wars 1

Really? I know they weren't doing as well as they had hoped but they don't seem to be doing too horribly.

The fact that it's not a Sword & Sorcery Game #1058673947 probably doomed it from the start.

We'll have to push for a Shadowrun MMO, so a more modern MMO has a chance!

I would not bet a dollar that TSW will be running a year from now, because from what I understand, that game is having bad cost overruns. I also think CO is on very dangerous ground. When development has basically stopped on a game, that's not a good sign. Hell, CoX was STILL being developed and that solved nothing! So imagine if a game stays basically static for a few years....

I just have a funny feeling that NCSoft in particular is not yet done cutting games off the vine, especially if their bottom lines don't pick up soon [and tbh, I'm hoping hard that they don't], so if I were playing Lineage or Aion I would be really, really REALLY nervous.
