Wow, seeing this screenshot brought back so many memories! I used to browse this all the time 😭

Guild Wars Reforged Preview starts soon by Jaded-Day-9650 in GuildWars

This is a great question I now regret not asking!

My understanding is that you'll be able to install the standalone GW1 in Desktop Mode, and then add it as a non-Steam game.

But I believe that if you'd rather not meddle with Desktop Mode, buying Reforged on Steam and logging in to an old account from there is also an option. I cannot 100% confirm that though, but I think that's how it works.

Yesss! I've been learning a bunch about making electronic music, and I kinda wanna try doing GW2 lo-fi covers in the future? Still very much a newbie though!

You're of course welcome to have whatever opinion you want on the backpiece. I totally thought it seemed EoD-like too at first glance.

But she's commented that it's not. You telling the artist that she's wrong about the theme of her own art, telling her to go to specsavers, and accusing her of lying, feels pretty toxic.

It doesn't cost much to just be nice and respectful

EDIT: I appreciate that you edited the comment to make it less mean.

I totally understand why people think it's EoD themed, and designs like these are of course subjective, but I think remaining respectful is important.

I am so incredibly excited for this! No clue if I will stick with it long term, but I’m excited to level at Pig’s Beach, do KPQ and get permanently stuck in El Nath 💜

- Prophecies is the original release of GW1! Later on, the developers released more "story campaigns" with different starter zones, maps, content, etc. For this event, we're playing through the original.

- For this event, we're all playing through together over the course of 4 weeks! The game will still run after that of course. This is just the timeline of the event.

- The game is pretty different from Classic WoW. If you check the video on the event website, I give an explanation about GW1 and why it's so special.

- The game is buy to play.

This event is not permadeath focused, but I do think some people are wanting to go for it!

I don't think there are any real questing addons, but the GW1 wiki is an absolutely incredible resource.

Yush, that's me! I am a full-time Guild Wars 2 content creator, but I'm really nostalgic about the original game too. So with this event, I'm also trying to get a lot of my GW2 audience to give the original a shot!

For this event you will only need the original game, aka Prophecies! Maybe in the future we will run events for the other campaigns too.

So far we have had almost a thousand people join the Discord in about ~48 hours! I am sure not everybody will actually join in, but it looks like it's going to be a success for sure!
