There is a cash shop however for the more frivolous of gamers out there to spend their money on cosmetic items and various boosts to develop their character quicker using "Gems". It is important to note that all these cash shop items can also be obtained within the game as well by changing game currency. Naturally, this takes longer to do so ~ but allows the option to ensure people aren't missing out just being they don't want to invest that much money into a game. The game itself is a...

Gameplay, Graphics and Sound are all fantastic. The new and improved Lions Arch really is a wonder to behold. The game has a lot of locations and lore from the first Guild Wars game, but the way it plays is totally different. Whereas in GW1 you only partied up in Towns and then entered personal instances with your party for any of the locations between the towns, here you are with other players wherever you travel and you really feel as though you are part of the world - It's an awesome sight to see a roaming event occur, everyone joins in and works together to complete that event. Rewards are based on how much impact you have on the event (so if you are there from early on you get higher rewards than someone who say, joins the event near its conclusion.) The only time i have seen a provate...

This encourages teamwork and makes gameplay much more interesting - Dynamic events; there are such a wide variety of these and each has a "chain of events" system where the communities action in one kicks of another event in the future. At last count there were over 1800 of these available. - WvWvW or world v world; across multiple maps you have three servers battling it out for superiority taking over supply chains, camps and castles. These battles last for weeks and are truly amazing to take part in although the particle effects when 40+ players are fighting at once can get a... Read more |
