Good Morning citizens of Azeroth. If you’re here, it’s likely because you are deciding if you should give Guild Wars 2 a try. Good for you, you’re asking the right questions. Let’s start with some of the broad basics that GW2 differs from WoW, then work our way down to the finer points.
Firstly, to get it out of the way, let’s discuss price. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria is $40, plus the monthly subscription of $15 – making it $55 for the month you buy the expansion, or $220 over the course of a year. With Guild Wars 2 you pay for the box and you’re done, no subscription fees at all. This means for $60, you get a full game. That’s only $5 more than you’d be spending that first month on Mists. In fact, if you buy the digital download from GameFly and use the code 1GFT82012 you get 20% off; Making it cheaper. So why not?
Now that the elephant is out of the room, let’s take a look at the structure of the game and see what it does to make the player more involved. Read more about PVS GW2: A Guild Wars 2 Introduction for Warcraft Players …
