Guild Wars 2 comes out on August 28th. Or if you
preordered like I did, August 25th! I’d say I’m not really holding
my breath, but I feel that would be pretty untrue. It’s only 8 days away now
and it’s like Christmas was when I was a kid. The anticipation is killing me.
Guild Wars 2 is going to be a great game (and not just
because I say so). It’s breaking so many MMORPG genre rules, which I will admit
scared me at first. But they’ve been so thorough in figuring out how to break
the rules and keep the game progression sensible while making it a super fun
experience for the player.
Leveling is now done on a curve, and you scale up (or down)
to the area you are in. You can be in more than one guild, though you can only
represent one guild at a time. The guild you are representing is the only guild
that reaps the benefits of the actions you take while representing that guild.
Classes or professions are flexible now, too, which is fun to play as you can
progress and choose what skills to hone in on. And, on top of that, there’s no
traditional end game. Everything is scaled and designed so that each level
should take a similar amount of time and is of equal importance.
Overall, this game is very impressively developed and the
graphics are absolutely stunning. If you didn’t preorder and play the beta, I’m
sad you missed your first chance to see the game. It really is awesome. And you
should definitely join us in this new MMO.
