Guild Wars 2

Link: https://www.guildwars2.com
Genre: Fantasy MMORPG
Platform: PC (Windows + Mac)
Pricing model: Retail, no subscription, in-game store (not P2W I assume - but not sure yet)
Summary: Very popular recent MMOG stacking up decently against WoW
Lessons learned:

• So far seems even more theme park-like than WoW Plenty shiny though!

Tried this out for what might be the first time ever last night due to the free weekend play active right now. I think I mighthave played in one of the beta weekends ages ago, but forgot. I'm getting it mixed up with Rift some, as well, which was also a shiny new WoW-like.

I know there are some novel concepts in there like the automatic events that draw in everybody nearby. The server-swapping options also seem interesting. Might not be super applicable to Terasology, although maybe one day we'll have a more RPG-like game mode that can learn from some of the concepts

More coming later, but have only played for all of two hours so far. Started on Devona's Rest but only level 3 so far. Happy to hop on somewhere else if somebody has played for a long time and wants to highlight something, or alternatively start afresh somewhere else with other new players.

As noted by @Immortius GW2 is 75% off right now, which isn't bad! Ends after Sunday though.

I finally bought it, played around a bit tonight to relax a bit. Not exactly much of a challenge so far, I miss Castle Crushbone from EQ

Didn't even notice what server I ended up on, or even EU vs NA. I guess it just put me on whatever.
