Guild Wars 2

I started playing this game because I enjoyed the first one so much, I wanted to see how the updated version was. Thus far, not impressed. I JUST started but it’s strayed so much from the original, which I was a huge fan of. they changed a lot and it’s not for the better.

Generally, I don’t pay a sub for an MMO. There’s too many free ones on the market. And I don’t feel like throwing my money into oblivion every month to stare at a screen for a couple of hours. I’m not a fan of in game purchases because it’s telling players, “you’re going to be behind others if you don’t give us your money to get ahead or get ahead much more quickly.” I understand the company needs to make an income but it’s just bothersome.

GW really doesn’t have the content or updates that would suit a sub. They’ve done that on purpose, it really is made to be a FTP after the inital purchase. If they ever changed to a monthly fee, I’d uninstall that moment. I bought the deluxe for $15, so it wouldn’t be a huge loss.

I just purchased GW2. I played the original on and off for two or maybe even three years and bought the first expansion. I really liked how on missions, there was that huge arrow above you guiding you. I REALLY miss how you could combine classes. Gw2 seems more confusing and I’m just not clicking with it as I did the first. Maybe it’s because it’s new to me so that’s why it’s all weird.
Anyone even play the original anymore?
