Not long ago I previewed Black Desert Mobile which is a mobile version of Black Desert Online. I was surprised at how great it looked and how well it played on my mobile phone. With more and more MMO’s popping up in the mobile space, I feel like it’s finally time that Guild Wars transitions to the mobile space. Fans may be skeptical, but I’m right, and here’s why.

    better improve the actual Gw2 or work on Gw3 that another autoplay mmorpg (if u want to call that to the disgrace of those games on mobile) , that are there just to milk the poor souls that fall for that trap.

    Honestly, mobile is inevitable and I do love the idea of playing great games on devices like the iPad or Surface Pro X, however the business model needs to shift away from the typical phone game micro transactions before I'll actually play them.

    why the hell I would want to play in a small screen with half would be covered by my hands?

    no serious I spend on a nice chair, some nice headset, a good big screen, listen music, talk in discord/ts/ventrilo, play games, work.

    so why the hell you belive I want to spend my time on my cellphone?

    if I wanted a portable game I would go for a DS or switch, my cellphone is not a gaming device, get this on your damn heads

    No offense author, but you should never be allowed to write another article on this site ever again. Go start a mobile MMO site of your own sir.....this is blasphemy.

    I just don't see the fun of playing a MMO on a phone with a 3-4" screen...I watched a teen the other day playing a game on his phone and he literally held it 3" from his face while playing.

    The bigger issue is touch controls.

    Mobile phones are not suited for anything in real time.

    i tought after last year's blizzcon they finally understood... guess they didn't.

    NCSoft rakes in most of its money on mobile trash. So no, lesson not learned, and it's not going to be learned.

    It would be more surprising if all of their IPs didn't get mobile entries.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Soulless autoclicking, cash shop, autoquest, idle play graveyards are the result of too many a mobile venture. I want to own and play my games, but get quartered to death like in arcades to then watch a movie play out. If mobile gaming has shown us anything, it's that what the occassional game does pop put of the teeming masses, the temptation is often just too damn high to take easy ways out where gameplay is hardly gameplay anymore. Speaking as someone who especially misses GW1, seeing it move further away from that is everything I don't want to see.

    Look guys, I'm with you all, I don't touch mobile games with a 10 foot pole nor would I ever be caught spending a dime on one, however we shouldn't be so quick to write it off. We can all agree that mobile brings in wayyyy more revenue than PC and other platforms, revenue that could ultimately help fund development for the PC titles that would otherwise be left stagnant and die. Mobile isn't our culture but it is overseas.

    You know, it's funny all the obvious desperation in everyone's posts. You all know that mobile would make far more money, and so from a business perspective it makes the most sense.

    Given that, you guys DO realize that this is not a fad...this is the future right? This will become MORE common, not LESS.

    With that said, there's no reason they couldn't do both....just don't expect to be the priority.

    I just can't play mobile games on my phone for very long, 30min max then I'm done, even the old RPG ports.
