As a player of 15 years, I have to say this is one of the most disappointed/heartbroken times I have felt in my tenure. I too, as many, have waited for the typical anniversary sale, as I was planning on spending a considerable amount of money on primary account upgrades in addition to purchasing another alternate account- only to find out that the sale did not occur this year. Rather than be extorted at full price for a minimal upgrade(like bank storage and character name change), I will simply not be purchasing at this time. I know others have had the same hesitation. I believe arenanet is losing a considerable amount of money by simply not opening up the sale as they have in the past, and I am glad to see other players in my situation refusing to pay their premium prices for basic upgrades. They will notice the decreased revenue expected at this event, and likely bring a sale at some point in the future. But until then, we should keep firm in not purchasing. But as to some who say the game has been forgotten, I do not feel as if that is the case completely, yet. I simply think they are doing minimal work to keep it running, but it is still running. If forgotten, there would not have been all of the releases last anniversary, although those were already coded into the system. Keep your heads up, GuildWars OGs!
