Guild Wars 1 Ambience: Ascalon City (pre-Searing) (with music) 

In a heartbeat if there's some kind of guarantee it stays online

@@Jibrilpuff arenanet has promised to keep GW1 running for the entire lifetime of GW2, as "it takes up basically no space in the server room at all."

the problem with playing guild wars today is that it sucks

Mac?

Same. Especially now since it carries such a nostalgic feeling, even compared to the rest of the game.

there are people who play accounts that never leave pre ascalon. it's called 'perma pre'.

Same here but I was 9

Jeremy Soule's magic for you.

My cousin and I have some characters still in pre-searing for that very reason. We've even come across level 20 characters there! That takes some serious dedication.

Indeed, it is the day that has not ended for 17 years

I use to run people through dungeons all the time but never could get a character to lvl 20 in pre searing. Hearing this brought tears to my eyes though.

Nostalgia is one of those feelings mannn

The moment you realize how big the world really is, you know your fallen into something great

There's a few projects and I've downloaded one years ago and had a look at it, but I can't remember the project's name nor do I have a link for you, sorry. It was just too long ago. But recreating GW1 from scratch using Unreal Engine 5 would be such a dream. And a team of fans could very well do it...

​@@Paradise7DI want to do this.

what the hell is a hypermarket????

It's GWToolbox++. You can use it (for example) to unlock the camera and freely explore GW1 maps with it. And you can set the camera speed down to the sixth decimal which is perfect for ambience videos :P You can create very precise scenes with this, nothing's left to chance.

Thank you

@@Paradise7D Especially pre-Searing (we used to call it "Eden" in french), was such a special, distinct, peaceful and beautiful place. It was somehow "different" from the game, and could have been a total different game now I think about it with its own lore... I remember getting lost in the catacombs for hours, admiring the tiny details (the stained-glasses for example). If I had to describe pre-Searing in a few words, it felt like a "safe place", far from daily real-life worries and anxieties.

My sympathies! You have 28 chars? Congrats! I have 28 too, two of them in pre-Searing, and one is a "placeholder" ready to be deleted and replaced should the necessity arise. Pity you can't go back to pre-Searing... they should really program it so you can enter your own copy of pre-Searing whenever you want. That would be sooo lovely...

Eye of the Storm

@@Jbills thank you!

I admit I had to search quite some time. That was a damn good question of yours! But here it is -- it's one of two pieces missing from the OST, and it apparently has no title. According to the video description, it plays in the Catacombs (and the Crystal Desert!), and as a general ambience track. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0KNLYpLFcc.html

Whoops, didn't answer yet! I'm from Germany but I moved to Spain in mid-2018. And yea I still play -- and many others do as well, just remember to play in the American district because that's where 90% of the active community are :D

@@Paradise7D Na dann mal liebe Grüße :p Was hat dich denn nach Spanien verschlagen? Ich überlege auch auszuwandern.

@@Marc-rv7no In Spanien isses einfach wärmer :P Hat schon was, unter Palmen zu leben. Naja, wegen Klimaüberhitzung wird's hier eh noch deutlich wärmer werden, da gibt's dann irgendwann auch in Deutschland Palmen -- kann ja dann zurück :) Wohin zieht es dich?

Level cap in GW1 was 20, are you thinking of GW2?
