Synopsis

Synopsis
For centuries, Tyria was ravaged by strife, chaos and war as the five great races battled against one another — until the dragons awoke. The powerful Elder Dragons rose from the sea and the earth, destroying great cities, flooding coastlines, burning forests and forever altering Tyria's landscape. As the deathless dragon Zhaitan commands legions of the undead across the land, no one is safe. The great races — the charr, the sylvari, the asura, the norn and the humans — must come together and fight against the escalating tide of destruction and evil.

Guild Wars 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular Guild Wars, returns to the fabled land of Tyria to quell the waves of evil hell-bent on destroying the land. Step into the MMORPG as one of eight professions and five races, including the feline charr, defiant humans, mysterious sylvari, mighty norn and the ingenious asura. As you explore the stunning world of Tyria that's been ravaged by destruction, you must make your choices carefully, as your actions have a real effect on the world around you, shaping your own personalized quest storyline while you play. Engage in thrilling MMO battles thanks to the innovative Guild Wars 2 combat system that features powerful skills, combos, improvisational strategy and environmental weapons. Fight it out with other players in PvP arenas that truly test your combat skills, or put your tactical skills on the line in massive world vs. world warfare. Are you ready to help save Tyria from complete annihilation?

You're never alone
5
Posted by: from San Luis Obispo, CA on 04/19/2013In Guild Wars 2, you're never alone. There are tons of quests and mini events that are happening in real time with a dozen of other players like you working together or interacting. However, there are very few weapon types, and the skills those weapons give and combos are all the same. In order to be original, you will have to buy skills with your in-game gold , but you can only use a certain number at a time.

Great MMO that doesn't kill your pocket
5
Posted by: from Nashville, TN on 04/14/2013Guild Wars 2 is an MMO that is just plain fun. The game looks amazing and it rewards you for tasks that other MMOs don't-- such as reviving a friend. Anyone can do it, and in GW2, you actually get XP for doing it. Random events happen all other and anyone in the area can help complete them for extra XP. I haven't gotten to the end game so I'm not sure if it has raids like on WoW.

Great MMO with no monthly fee
5
Posted by: from Gainesville, FL on 04/13/2013This is a great MMO that has no monthly fee. Pay for it once, and play it forever for free. It's a pretty good deal. The items in the gem shop can easily be purchased with in-game mode, facilitated by the game's in-game currency transaction system. The gold:gem ratios are adjusted by player demand and supply. It's a pretty good system, and it makes it so if you have time but not a lot of money, you can earn everything anyways. Try it out!

Great game for someone who is new to online gaming
5
Posted by: from Kansas City, KS on 02/09/2013This is the first online game I have played. It's been a fantastic experience. I love that you have your personal storyline that you can persue on your own, or if you get stuck, you can invite friends in to lend you a hand. If you want to just 'hang out' with friends, run around and explore the different worlds, and get into a few battles, this is the game for you. I have been playing this game for about a month now, and there is still so much to discover. Then I can create a new character and rediscover the world from a whole new perspective. I can see being entertained by this game for a long time to come. Great value for the money!

Imagine a game you've always wanted and this is it
5
Posted by: from Columbus, OH on 01/29/2013The game has very well done graphical details. It contains styles for just about every gamer who has ever considered or played an MMO. Forget what you know about the traditional MMO. Create a character with a unique storyline that is based on your choices. Your choices in game have an affect on the events around you. The PVP and WvW are exceptional additions and necessary for this MMO to survive and excel throughout time. There are so many aspects of the game that I can't possibly write them all down. If you are looking for a game that you can play put down for a little while pick back up at any time and not ever have to pay a monthly fee. Please try this game out!
