Best MMO out there still to this day, this game.....ugggh ive played it since launch, and spent countless hours and dollars(absolutely not required)!!! cant stress that enough!!! from the story line, to the game play and open world content that to this day i hold against ANY other MMO or game i play, crafting as well.... there are SOOOOO many things this game got right from the very begining, and as i said i continue to hold agains other games, and unfortunately VERY few come up even close, the crafting is SO spot on, the only other MMO ive played where i enjoy the crafting as much is Newworld...and despite the negative views i still enjoy WoW, but NONE of them hold a candle to Guild Wars 2, this game is old, no doubt about it, BUT everything about what i loved with this game is STILL there and content and most importantly GRAPICS!! are still just as gorgeous and relavant as they were when it game out, the art style is epic!....one of my pet peeves is citys and towns and villages in MMO's, most of the time i have to suspend belief that the town can hold 100's of people, i generally think the town is like a place holder in game, it only represents the place its supposed to be........NOT Guild Wars 2, they citys and towns and outposts in the game literally look like they could be the capitals of kingdoms that could hold thousands to hundreds of thousands of actual people!....k so this fan boy esk review has gone on long enough... bottom line I LOVE this game and the developers and no matter what it will always hold the 1st place as thee most epic MMO created bar none!
