Guild Wars 2 Gameplay

Developed by ArenaNet and published by NCSOFT as a sequel to Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 is an MMORPG set in a fantasy world inhabited by tons of strange creatures. 

The basic storyline of Guild Wars 2 takes place in a fantasy world called Tyria. You are attempting to revive a multiracial guild called Destiny’s Edge. By getting this group back together, you may finally be able to defeat a strange, undead Elder Dragon.

Your personal story changes upon decisions you make. Also, it features several types of gameplay aside from the main story, such as “World versus World”, a large-scale combat taking place in a world independent of the main one, PVP, and PVE. Guild Wars 2 focuses more on the quality of skills instead of the quantity, so it encourages its players to strategize appropriately.

You can play Guild Wars 2 right now for free.

Creating a Guild Wars character - as you can see, there are lots of options of you to choose from.
