Just started seeing the announcements today that Guild Wars (one of the MMORPG's of my childhood) is getting a massive update patch in the form of remastered graphics, Steamdeck, and Controller compatibility, and is still going to be only $20 for the core games (Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall) for any new players coming in; and was curious if anyone else here plays, or has played before; and if so, are you also looking forward to this update?

Absolutely! Guild Wars holds a huge place in my gaming memories, so seeing it get this kind of love all these years later honestly feels surreal—in the best way. The fact that ArenaNet is rolling out remastered graphics and proper Steam Deck and controller support shows real respect for the game and its community. That alone makes the update exciting, but keeping the full core experience (Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall) at just $20 for new players is incredible value and feels very on-brand for Guild Wars’ player-first philosophy. I played extensively back in the day, and what always stood out was how unique it felt compared to other MMORPGs—build crafting in minecraft, skill balance, story-driven campaigns, and the ability to enjoy so much of the game solo or cooperatively without the usual MMO grind. Knowing that a new generation of players might get to experience that, while veterans get a smoother, more modern way to revisit Tyria, is genuinely exciting. I’m definitely looking forward to the update, and it’s hard not to feel nostalgic and hopeful seeing Guild Wars get another moment in the spotlight.
