Guild Wars 2

9 years ago, I first set foot in Elona (loved the flora there by the way, not the moving ones though). After my adventures there, I heard about two other lands. Cantha and Tyria. For a small fee I made the journey to these places and was filled with awe at the sheer size of the new worlds I was able to explore. After almost 5,000 hours, I am still able to find new places. A few years later, I heard about Guild Wars 2’s release and was ecstatic to hear that my favorite profession (the mesmer), would be in the game as with my favorite race (the asurans). After participating in the beta events, I knew that the new world or Tyria would be amazing.

After watching the Four Years video on the Guild Wars 2 website, I’ve gathered quite a bit more appreciation for the team that set out to create a game of such a titanic scale. To the creators of Guild Wars Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North, Beyond, 2, Heart of Thorns, and Living Story (and anything in between), thank you. Thank you for creating a world to live in. Thank you for keeping that world alive. Thank you for creating my favorite game of all time. Thank you all as well for four incredible years (and more from GW1).
