Guild Wars 2

This game is very fun! The map is huge and there are tons of little areas to explore. I like how they made little exploration goals to show off the things to see on each map. The graphics are amazing. On top of that they include a story line feature (that reminds me of baulders gate) where you can make choices that impact your story. The weapons remind me a little of the weapons in FF7 where the weapons would level up too.

I’m playing engineer and it’s fun to be able to jump really far forward or turn into a tornado that knocks everything over.

World vs world is epic pvp, and having bonuses to grouping is really fun. And in pvp they give you access to all skills you will have at max level so you can try them out.

They have some very cool seasonal events. The latest was a race over an obstacle course that went up a mountain. They gave you three powers, wind to let you jump super high, fire to roll forward far and fast, and lightning to jump from one station to the next over far distances. And they gave the people behind the leader the ability to skip way ahead to catch up. It was super fun.

I played a lot of wow and this is the only thing I’ve found that is as good. I like how I can play it in small doses and pick it up really quickly. I like the travel system of waypoints (similar to runescape) and running. Way better than gryphons and flying mounts. I always felt like flying mounts took away from wow a little.

I never played guild wars 1. I’ve played SWG, wow, runescape. I tried EQ for 5 minutes and I couldn’t stand anymore. I also enjoy an old school space ship game called continuum (subspace) – the events in trench wars are super fun if they are hosted.

Welcome and its nice that you are enjoying GW2.
Yes gw2 is indeed a very good game, and while it certainly has its flaws,
i would call it the next best MMO after WoW. Especially like you mentioned,
exploration is really fun in GW2.

The fact that there is no monthly subscription doesn’t hurt at all too.

I’ve also never played GW1 as i believe quite a few of us here are,
and it would have been nice if Anet capitalize on this and offer a
nice GW1 discount or package if you already bought GW2.
