Here is more information.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/news/announcing-guild-wars-reforged/

Apparently its not developed by ArenaNet but a smaller studio of former ArenaNet employees.

And Guild Wars Reforged isn’t about a one-time update; we plan to keep collaborating with our partners at 2weeks to make further improvements to the game in the future!

This sounds promising.

Funny that GW1 gets steamdeck/controller support before GW2.

I can't imagine playing GW2 on a controller. I had to buy an MMO mouse to have more buttons to bind stuff to.

I've hear good things about GW1, but never got to play it.

GW2 is my top favorite MMO, although I haven't really played much recently, because due to the lack of gear treadmill it's soo confusing to pick it up again when you stopped playing for a few expansions.

Will probably give GWR a try.

Due to the absence of gear treadmill... It makes it super easy to get back into. Unless I misunderstood your comment. But I just came back after no following SotO and VoE and I am pumped! Playing the whole story since the very start :)

Oh and with such easy access to legendary gear the gear treadmill is even flatter. Come to us, we welcome you!

If I'm getting back to a game with gear treadmill, I can just clean uo my inventory and start the next exoansion with a clean slate.

I have around 70% of the world cleared, several characters leveled to max, but I got through kike half of HoT and a bit of Path of Fire. I opened my full inventory that had a lot of random crafting stuff, consumables a a gew gear sets and I had no idea what's anything for, or what am I even supposed to do next. Did a few quests then gave up in trying to sort it out, since it was just too overwhelming.

I'll probably give it a try again, love thw game.

Well, now I know what I will be doing during the better part of my Christmas holidays.

I am admittedly still hoping for a proper Guild Wars 1 remaster or a successor that is more like GW1 in tone and game play. Maybe its nostalgia but the sequels plot and world building never reached the quality of the original game for me.

I was always disappointed that they bound the skillbar to weapon types and removed secondary professions in GW2. The possibilities for character builds were virtually endless in GW1's system, and you could make your character really feel like your own. I did play GW2 for a while, and it was fun in its own ways, but the original still holds much more nostalgia for me.
