One of the most consistent complaints we've seen about the Guild Wars 2 site is its forums for being quite different than 99% of the world's online discussion software. But all that changes today with the brand spanking new GW2 forums that feature perks such as "single sign-on" using your GW2 log in (displays your game ID), better mobile support, the ability to use avatars, a reaction system, ranks, badges and a robust search engine.
The most important content from the old forums has been ported over, though not all. Posters are invited to recreate threads on a range of topics including guides, guild recruitment advertisements, fan-art or fan-fiction threads and so forth.
The forums will be visible to everyone, members and visitors alike. Everyone with a paid Guild Wars 2 account in good standing can participate on the new forums. A game account holder whose forum privileges were terminated on the old forums will be granted one-time amnesty in order to rejoin the forum community. Members who join the new forums under amnesty should be aware that they are subject to permanent revocation of their forum privileges upon breach of the User Agreement or Forum Code of Conduct on the new forums. Play-for-free players will be able to log in to bookmark posts.
Check out the new Guild Wars 2 forums here as well as the UA and CoC linked above.
