Guild Wars 1 was amazing piece of art (which I'd still recommend today), the sequel never really caught me. I'm not really gaming anymore, but glad to see that the game is still being worked on.
I only ever played number 2. The best mechanic was that I could play with my casual gamer wife and it still be fun for both of us.
Guild wars really has separated itself from other mmos in critical ways that are likely not apparent to most.
Having the areas be brighter and happier when you complete them is a nice touch too.
These are my feelings exactly! I tried a fair few times to get into 2 but it just never stuck for me but the first game is amazing and in my top 3 of all time probably.
I'll be interested to see some guild wars 3 stuff but I don't know if I'll ever actually play it myself!
GW2 is still by far the most amazing MMO I've played. The casual approach at leveling, the near limitless end game content, the continued updating and variety in classes, the absolutely amazing community. My list goes on and on. The money I spent vs how much time I invested in all of my characters is down to pennies on the hour I'm sure. Granted eventually I moved on to other game types after playing it for probably thousands of hours, but I'll one hundred percent be diving into this when it releases. My only gripe is the expanse of time I have to wait between now and release. For those that have played other MMOs and want something fresh I recommend waiting until a sale drops and pick up the main game and at least the first 2 expansions. No monthly cost, 100 percent worth every dollar. Game is still gorgeous even now.
Good news, there's a pretty big GW1 and GW2 sale going on right now on their own website (don't buy it on Steam, the sales there are worse).
