Guild Wars 2

I look at some of the mmo’s I’ve played, and what I’ve always seen is, at first, gold is darned hard to come by. With any game. You start out scraping for enough to buy even the lowest level upgrades and the like, then by the time the next expansion comes out, you have more than enough. Maybe not all you want, but more than enough none-the-less.

I’ve always felt that the first gold piece SHOULD be a milestone. It makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something. We all know how these things go… give it 6-8 months and everyone will have more than they know what to do with.

I can’t speak for everyone and wouldn’t dream of trying, but in my humble opinion, enjoy the early stages of life in GW2 while it lasts because far too soon things will be much different. MMO worlds change/economies change…its the way of a living game.

With all the negative threads I’ve read, I just wanted to take a moment and give my own impression of things so far. Keeping in mind I’ve only just begun and haven’t seen anywhere near all there is to see, I’m loving this game. It seems like a new, fresh spin on the mmo market in general. Just seems to me like we’d seen everything there was to see mmo wise and Its nice to see that I was wrong.

The world is gorgeous, the quests are unique and inventive, I love that there’s no real spawn camping as everyone seems to be able to work together on kills. I’m sure there are negative aspects of community kills too, I’ve just not seen them yet. True, there are things I could live without, but I won’t voice them here because there’s always things you could live without in every game. Besides, something I don’t love, maybe someone else does.

Anyway, great game. I’m having wonderful fun and can’t wait to see what’s around the corner.
