Guild Wars 2 Cravings !
Okay, let me put on my nerd cap on and talk about the game I've been going nuts for and being so hyped about ! The new MMO by ArenaNet is announced to be launched on 28th August 2012 after 7years after their original Guild Wars release.
As those who knows me, I'm a an utmost WoW supporter, in fact I'm very picky on the side MMOs I play besides WoW. Every "Wow-killer" that has came out during my 8year WoW career has failed, and I knew it before hand even though many friends beg to differ and quit WoW to play the game only to solemnly return three months later.
I've tried Rift, and many other well named MMOs on the side but they were bench-marking WoW which makes them comparable in a way, but not able to meet WoW standards as WoW has been a long ongoing game that is highly successful and people will will go back to WoW as they have spent more time on that game.
Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO that opened my mind and eyes that I truly feel that WoW will have something to fear. Not just due to the superior graphics but the gameplay and the game as a whole seems pretty much a overall better game then WoW.
I'm in no way saying that GW2 will be THE WoW killer, but it will definitely be something Blizzard would and should be worried about. You can't exactly place them side by side and compare, because GW2 is designed so well that it's a very different game all together. Then again, this is really all very subject to personal opinions so WoW fanbois, don't bash me !
I've been watching alot of videos lately on GW2 and I bumped into a video of these funny bunch of guys video conferencing, giving a very, very professional Q&A session. They added that thier guild is opened to whoever want to apply and I app'ed and got in. It gives me a wonderful feeling at the moment of starting anew, a new life in a completely new MMO. Maybe one with less mean and elitist people in WoW. Back when WoW was new, guild and community was very family-warmth feel, and I do hope I'd find it again.
I remember back in the day we did 40mans raids, and even with a enormously large guild, everyone was close to one another, we know who and who are couples. Who's son was feeling unwell. Who fell down the stairs they day before. Just little things like that we remember and chat and laugh about. It feels like a big large family !
Even when raiding, we pass each other loots, and work together as a team. There was no "Dps/Healing meters" competition going on, it was all us executing our task and preforming well. But nowadays, everyone is all "Meter-whores" as we call them and people are getting over elitist and greedy over loots. Guild chat is filled with one calling the other noob and one bitching about another member for taking his loot that he felt he earned. It just isn't the same anymore.
In anycase, I needed a new start somehow. I don't know, ever since my boyfriend, I feel like I was a reborned Phoenix and life is so different ! I just want a new chapter in my life, gaming or real life. And I got him GW2 so even better ! I'd be gaming with my boyfriend :3 Now not many get to do that !
I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR GUILD WARS 2 !!!!!!
