Now, more than any other time in the past, gamers have a staggering number of choices available when looking into diving into an MMORPG. Old dogs like World of Warcraft and EVE Online are keeping with the times by learning tricks (and refining old ones), while an army of newcomers (TERA, Rift, The Secret World, etc) are settling into their own relevant niches and coaxing players to check out their unique take on the genre. Not to be left out, publisher NCSoft and developer ArenaNet worked diligently over the past half decade to bring forth their vision of what a next generation MMO should be. Dubbed Guild Wars 2, this sequel plays almost nothing like its 2005 predecessor and manages to introduce some eye-opening features, though key issues keep the game from being the truly revolutionary MMO that ArenaNet would surely like it to be.
