We can only guess why they had to stop it completely šŸ¤Ø I can offer 2 possibilities: - after analyzing 2 months data they saw that GWā€™s been ruining the game economy somehow, and they need to revise numbers before it gets worse. - someone found and started using an exploit based on the current GW mechanics and they canā€™t just fix it without rebuilding the whole thing. [quote=ā€œSaltypatra, post:1, topic:27535ā€] giving us an opportunity to review and tune Guild Wars [/quote] is not explaining at all why to turn them completely off. ---

@Saltypatra or @Ozball Please sticky this post to get the level of awareness as wide spread as possible and to get as much feedback as possible from all players. ---

I will definitely miss GW - hopefully it will be back soon and be better than ever! It really added some depth to the game for me which helped with the monotony of regular PVP. ---

I think you should save it until they respond. Loyalty matters most. ---

The only thing I canā€™t stand about Guild Wars is The event with 50 % stats lets say Iā€™m a Soldier and Iā€™m facing the Paragon it is almost impossible too win so HARD. Put the event down too just 25 % stats thatā€™s more then enough Just my opinion ---

DAY 1: 3 Brown troops and 1 Blue DAY 2: 2 Purple and 2 Yellow troops DAY 3: 1 Red, 1 blue, 2 Green Troops Etcā€¦ I think it should be mixed colors, so it would be more fun and not repetitive. ---

We took into account a lot of factors before making this decision. Yes, Guild Wars was a success for us, but that doesnā€™t mean that we donā€™t want to make it better and improve our game as much as we can. We are committed to always improving the gameplay experience for our players, and as we are a small team, taking it down will give us the opportunity to review and tune this feature more efficiently. I am aware that this is a controversial decision and we did not make it lightly. For those that wanted a break, enjoy your time off! For those that love Guild Wars, it will be back better than ever! ---

Is there any reason that more notice wasnā€™t given? Iā€™m sure some guilds may not have removed members for whatever reasons including vacations or other obligations, if they would have known guild wars was going to be offline for two weeks. Had more notice been given guilds could have granted their members a temporary stay away. Just saying more than a few hours notice would have been ideal. Perhaps a week. ---

The truth is we announced this as soon as we were able too. We needed to liaise with certain people and make sure that we could make this change across all our platforms without encountering any bugs or unforeseen issues. Also, as we are an Australian office, while we were working on this decision over the weekend, we didnā€™t know for certain until Monday (when everyone was in office) that it would work smoothly. I had the post written up early Monday morning and as soon as everything was confirmed across all our staff and platforms I posted as quickly as I was able. ---

Does this mean that it can take more than 2 weeks before we will have Guild Wars back? ---

Iā€™m not holding my breath for it to be back in 2weeks. Would be great if it was only 2 week break. I think console needs an update. Shame. I love guild wars. Itā€™s the only reason why I returned to the game after having 7weeks off due to boredom. Only real thing I would like to see changed is defense teams must use the days colour. I think the rewards are fine as is and Guild Wars must stay WEEKLY or Iā€™m out. Too boring if not weekly.
