IGN writes: "It's been a long time coming, but after months of teasing little updates, news about character classes, combat, questing and story, and some tantalizing glimpses of gigantic monsters, I finally had a chance to sit down and play Guild Wars 2. Before we get into the nitty gritty, however, let's recap: Guild Wars 2 is ArenaNet's sequel to Guild Wars, which was a sort-of-but-not-really MMO that didn't have a subscription cost and blended group-based combat with trading-card-game-style tactics. For the sequel, ArenaNet began making wild claims. Claims like "you won't need be in the same party to get credit for helping people" and "there won't be any quest text." Naturally, we, the gaming public, nodded our heads and agreed, the way you might as a homeless person yells at you that the illuminati is controlling his mind, and that he, in turn, is controlling yours with the soiled rag he manically grasps in his trembling hand."
Whether you're jumping in for the first time and playing for free or adventuring in our recently launched sixth expansion, Visions of Eternity, the best time to play Guild Wars 2 is now! Join the millions of players in Tyria and experience the friendliest MMO community firsthand.
A legendary adventure on the island of Castora awaits.
Who else but me posts GW2 updates 😎 One of the few companies I support, for over 20yrs.
I played it a little years ago. It was fun but I had children after I started playing and gave it up so my wife wouldn’t hate me. I got to 50 and then hung it up
Arenanet is doing smthn wrong with marketing, I never once seen an ad for a gw2 expansion and always hear it like this once an expac is already released. Not that I would play it cause I'm a gw1 purist haha
New elite specializations and a fresh adventure on the magical and never-before-seen island of Castora - The sixth expansion launches on October 28!
I just need to know when it will be ready so I can save you all with my mighty bow... no need to thank me, it's what I was born to do.
