Dec. 2024

Great game. I love this type of game (the MMORPG). This game is very much like WoW, but prettier scenery and characters. Not to mention (but this should have been #1) the game has a free monthly charge. After buying the game, the monthly charge is $0. Before I dropped WoW, I figured it up and spent somewhere near $2500 in monthly charges. Never again. I played both Guild Wars 1 and Guild Wars 2 many years ago and was so happy to find GW2 is still available.

Adult life is all about having obligations, occupations and whatsoever!! I used to play other mmorpg's religiously and unfortunately i could not anymore because to keep up with the top dogs it was like a job, the weekly's and daily's, the weekly raids chests where mandatory to stay up to date with the crowd, missing a week meant losing so much status... Guild wars 2 on the other hand is way more casual but still has that grindy mmorpg feel!!! you can stop playing for a week without months of catching up,, all that without missing any content to go for!! the best mmorpg in my eyes when life gets overwhelming. thank you guild wars, i thaught i was done for with mmorpg's but honestly i still need my fix once in a while. This is a game for hardcore gamers, casual gamers, moms and dads, etc...storyline is awesome for a mmorpg "trust me ive played most of them but this feels good while not needing to be lifeconsumming !!! awesome game

Still waiting for Canach to blow the damn door open. While I wait, it's an MMO designed so the bit where you're walking around the world and doing random things is actually fun, rather than relying on dungeons/raids to be the main objective. You progress by unlocking fun new things to do with new systems, rather than endlessly gaining incremental dps percentage increases. Instanced PvE is a bit weaker than other MMOs, PvP is generally better. The map design is in a league of it's own, designed for the joy of exploration rather than trying to show off the graphics/overwhelming scale. Story is better than average and well-paced, preferring to keep you in the action rather than bog you down with reams of fluffy lore. Combat system feels good to use without being a crazy button-soup (Elementalist not included) or an epilepsy inducing light show. Each class has a strong sense of identity and the elite specs subdivide it further - making the 9 classes actually feel like ~36 classes. For a free to play subscription-less MMO, it does a lot right - far more than others.

Best MMO I have ever played. There are hundreds of different ways to play/enjoy the game and they all give you rewards, and you never feel pressured to do content that you don't enjoy / don't feel like doing. The monetization is very fair, and there is no monthly subscription. There is no power creep forcing you to stay up to date or invalidating previous things you've done. all expansions are still playable, worth playing, and quite enjoyable. You will find plenty of people doing all game tasks whether it is the oldest thing in game or newest. I really really like this game, and if you like MMOs it is worth trying.

March 2024

One of the few MMOS that never waste your time! The horizontal progression and leveling system just lets me play the game instead of chasing after an ever climbing gear tredmill like other mmos. Has a great story, fun characters, and honestly feels very alive. Especially in 10 year old areas.
