Guild Wars plans the year ahead News
MMO PC News by Oli Welsh
The live team looking after NCsoft's MMO Guild Wars has posted its plans for 2009. These include doing less frequent, but more substantial content updates.
Rather than including a drip-feed of new content in the usual monthly maintenance, alongside balance changes and bug fixes, developer ArenaNet will do content updates separately every three to four months, enabling it to "tackle larger and more difficult projects that, previously, would've been impossible".
The first of these big updates, due in April, will include increases to account-based storage, improvements to character-based storage, and account-based changes to the Hall of Monuments.
Readers may have noticed the lack of news on major Guild Wars updates since Eurogamer MMO launched late last year - and we're not sure this new update schedule will change things. The new content update plans still fall some distance short of what players of other MMOs can expect.
Of course, Guild Wars doesn't take monthly subscriptions to fund that kind of work. But with no new retail campaigns or expansions on the horizon either, all eyes must surely be on the sequel, Guild Wars 2.
NCsoft and ArenaNet have been very quiet on Guild Wars 2 so far, and we don't expect a release in 2009, although we could be wrong. We'll bring you more as soon as we have it.

Guild Wars is great for a free to play MMO. Havn't played it now though for a good few months. I find it really difficult to get into teams for some of the missions. Currently stuck in Nightfall trying to take out the Soceress in a mission and there is hardly no one about to get into a team and it is nigh on impossible to do with henchmen as they keep running forward even though I set the waymarker at the top of the ramp. Also stuck on Alassio Seaboard on the Factions campaign for the same reasons.
Stuff like that tends to put me off playing, hit a part where a decent team is needed to continue and get past a mission and no one about making it extremely difficult and the enjoyment goes and becomes tedious. |

There were always hopes for a GW2 beta of some kind to land in late '08 but that never came... hopefully we could see that this year. I've missed playing GW but at the same time it's not so great to go back to, it's lost alot of it's life and it's certainly not so great for new players / characters.

Minipet storage is REALLY a must. Dye storage would be nice too.
About 5 of the characters on my account are purely used to store stuff. Storage improvemenyts have been a demand from players for years. |
