So, to answer my own question (and maybe help others), I discovered Paperspace by googling Parsec+cloud. They offer virtual cloud machines at affordable prices.

The absolute cheapest option gives you 2 vCPU cores and 4GB RAM (but no GPU hardware acceleration) for only $0.07/hr (less than the price of a cheeseburger per day). It's extremely slow but it's perfect for AFK farming the nine rings (or other AFK farms like the Zos Chivros Channel challenge).

I have not explored the options with GPU hardware acceleration because they are easily 5 to 10 times more expensive, but you will need the GPU to connect with Parsec as it does not work with software rendering.

Screenshot is of streaming Guild Wars from a Paperspace machine to my browser.

What do you mean by cloud stream ?

Hosting gw1 servers on a cloud like environment?

I am curious !

If you are talking about using remove hardware and just have the events happening on your monitor in a pay as you go environment then I think google has a solution for it.

But if google has it then AWS has it but better ..

I'm curious if AWS has a cheap offering? I suppose I need a Windows VPS. I'm not exactly sure how to navigate AWS.

Yes, my plan is to run the game client on remote hardware and then access it with something like Steam Link or Parsec.

One reason is because we have nine rings coming up soon, and I'd like to stay logged in without leaving my gaming rig on overnight or while I'm at work.

I'm thinking of streaming Guild Wars 1 from a cloud service to my computer. I already checked Geforce Now but they don't have it. Does anyone know any alternatives?

Good finds Hyper! Love them all. I wish they would remaster them for widescreens and let us choose one.

BUMP

Hi, does anyone have any screenshots or videos of the character selection screen from before EotN? There are a few screenshots on the wiki but curious to see what you can come up with.

BUMP, weapon mods are now much easier to read.

• Effects and chances are now listed in table format
• Hover over inscription icons to check the weapon type

Bump

• I removed OS weapons with imperfect mods
• I refreshed the layout of the unique weapons section

Shop updated with new weapon mods and everlasting tonics. OS weapons that don't get sold in the next few days are marked for removal.

I took an extended break but I'm back now

Quote from Red Fireball

the chest/time is faster if you chose option 1

There are some situations where the 2nd chest is guarded by a large group of mobs in the eastern section and I don't see another chest. In that case I let them kill me after I pick up the drop and then it's just a short walk to the Droknar's chest. It's a bit of a gamble because it's possible that the 3rd chest spawned just a little too far away to see... but I like the gamble.

DM me if interested

Stock updated with new OS weapons.

Favor is go (59 min)

I didn't see it posted in this forum so I made a map of the Witman's Folly chest run. It is IMO the fastest map if you are only interested in the treasure hunter and related titles, not the drops.

This map always spawns 3 chests. Most of the times all 3 chests are along the main route (yellow) but sometimes the last chest will spawn far away from the main route, next to the portal to Droknar's Forge. What you want to do is first complete the main route and then you can choose.

1. resign and forget about the third chest
2. get killed by Azure Shadows and follow the purple route from the resurrection shrine to the final chest

The grawl mobs are so weak, any running build should work. Bring at least 1 skill to prevent getting knocked down in the eastern section of the map by the Azure Shadows which cast Signet of Judgment on you.

I think I got it working now without compatibility mode by modifying my desktop shortcut to include -dsound at the end. Thanks for this guide, I love the positional audio.

bump, I've updated my shop with OS weapons.

Yes you're right, the template manager works after I move my templates to the install directory. Still I wonder if compatibility mode is really needed.

I can confirm that this also works on Windows 11. I had some troubles at first where the in-game option was still greyed out after following the instruction, but setting gw.exe to run in compatibility mode with Windows XP fixed that. I'm not sure if that is the best way to do it. I noticed that compatibility mode breaks the skill template manager in the game.
