Guild Wars 2

After finishing the personal story, I was happy about the end being accomplished, but I was left with an empty feeling. The same one I get after any video game ends, everything is over. At the start of living story, I wasn’t sure what was going on and what to expect. I didn’t care about much of it at all really (this isn’t meant to be a backhanded compliment, I swear). But then things started building more and more. We started to have more characters introduced (or now what people like to call Destiny’s Edge 2.0). There was new life.

I could make more memories, I could go on another journey with my friends and these new characters. I could feel as if I was a part of something and influencing something (this feeling can be achieved in a preset plot, it doesn’t have to be sandbox). I started caring about the characters, whether they lived or died, whether they suffered. The living story was able to stir emotions, so that by itself is more than enough. The memories, laughs, and loot were just extra.

I’ve enjoyed the challenges over this past year, the evolution of helpful NPCs, and the yet to be concluded mysteries that remain. While I personally still stress about temporary achievements every 2 weeks or so, I still have fun. I may have complained or raged over the past year, but overall it’s been great. I can’t wait to see what will happen next.

So thank you for your hard work and efforts to continuously give us players content to experience and enjoy.
