Guild Wars 2

I’m fairly new to the guild wars series. So I had decided to purchase the HoT set hoping it would help me find a game I enjoy. I’m almost 40 years old now and haven’t really been able to get into a MMO since Ultima online. This was a shot in the dark with this game. I had heard good things but never bothered to check it out myself until now. I am very glad I did. I have a life outside the game and like a lot of us I found it difficult to balance my life/family with some playing time. I always felt I was playing from behind in almost every other game. With this game I can play a few hours a week and feel like I’ve made some progress. This may sound all very trivial in the big scheme of things but for a person like me it means everything. I find the game has a good flow with lots of things to do. You never find yourself looking for something to do and you get a good sense of satisfaction from completing quests and opening new areas of the map that you can finally traverse. It has been a good experience so far. I know developers can get a hard time on occasion so I thought it might be a good idea to let them know that they have done it right, at least from my view.

Thank you for your efforts and making a very long week at work seem a little shorter and bringing back to joy of gaming to me.

Welcome to Tyria, and best of luck!

If you find something puzzling, the Wiki (link above, or accessed in-game by typing /Wiki [topic of choice]) is a great resource.

I still believe that the vanilla game was (and remains) the best value for the money of any MMO I’ve tried. Bundled with HoT, the value is still there, despite that ANet has moved the game away from some of my personal preferences. I hope you continue to enjoy GW2 for a long time.

I’ve been in game for more than 10k hours… I can still agree to what you just said. Hope you enjoy it for years to come! Oh! And a lil hint: You will wanna start leveling your auto loot mastery asap! xD
