Guild Wars 2

World events are typically the most enjoyable activities in MMOGs. Whether they be active GM run events of old school MMOGs or the precursor events that World of Warcraft often has before a new expansion comes out, such as the elemental rifts before Cataclysm.

So I’m very happy to see a strong use of them in Guild Wars 2. So far every content patch released has had a world event story-arch to go along with them. These events in my mind were both challenging, extremely fun and rewarding. They have helped greatly in making the game feel alive and flowing, with events that have changed Tyria in a variety of ways.

After a spectacular finale of the Karka story-arc I just had to post about how much I’ve enjoyed both world events and how much I’d like to thank Anet for making them. I can only hope that this ‘trend’ will continue, that each new content patch to hit comes with a world event story-arc that we can all participate in. Nothing makes an MMOG feel more organic and alive and so far Anet has hit them out of the park in my mind.

So thank you Anet. I cant wait to see what’s next!
