Kilo.2539 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Dear Anet, I would like to know who "we the community" can contact at NCSoft to request a return to the Canthan region? The following excerpt is from the Guild Wars 2 Wiki page about Cantha - https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cantha"Map artist Josh Foreman has said that a lot of the development team would like to return to Cantha and encourages interested players to ask for a future Canthan region" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashburntoo.7431 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This is likely the content most requested since launch, or possibly before launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sign the petition or send a letter if we can get a contact. Count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullsandRoses.5803 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I also want Cantha ... because Cantha may lead to Tengu ... and I really want Tengu <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProverbsofHell.2307 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Wasn't there something like they can't add Cantha now due to cultural sensitivity issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if Anet could provide a PoC at NCSoft so "we the community" can voice our interest I'd be much appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukens.1693 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 As i understood it, Cantha was cultural mix of East Asian countries, players took offence of this and thats were the problem rose? Since Anet has servers in China, Cantha should only be inspired by Chinese culture in Gw2, that would be a way to bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBZVelena.5186 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I wouldn't mind if they returned to cantha and now it only used Chinese influences. Remember its been over 250 years, a lot can happen in such a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding that ArenaNet are powerless with respect to Cantha and any request for Cantha should be made to NCSoft. This is just a community myth that has no evidence and makes no sense. The game already has a lot of art, assets, characters and lore about Cantha, the Gw1 Cantha is still live without any issues and NCsoft was still the owner back then as now. Foreman means request it from Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
