About Guild Wars 2


The sequel to Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, lacked subscription fees similar to its predecessor. From its release to August 2015, it required a purchase to play. After the mentioned date, the base game became free-to-play, though its expansions still need payment to unlock their content. The game has received near-unanimous critical acclaim and has millions of players concurrently online. Even just having the base game is enough for hours of content, but the expansions add more functionality and features. Still, this is a game to enjoy, as evidenced by the number of players who still enjoy Guild Wars 2.
