Originally, I wasn't all that pumped for Guild Wars 2, playing the original and not really liking it all that much, but with the new systems being added, I think it looks pretty intriguing. All though in my own personal opinion, the Asura (the tiny little elf monkey people things) look kind of goofy, but I guess you can't really hate a game for its more silly aspects. Personally, after reviewing the classes and races and all that, I think I can see myself playing either a Charr or a Norn, with the class of either an engineer or a warrior depending on race. I think the system of weapons providing half of the abilities and the class providing half of the abilities really neat, as what you can do within the game is constantly changing with your gear and playstyle. I think one of the big things than so many people are going to be glad about with Guild Wars 2, as with the first one, is that once you buy it, there are no monthly fees, and you own the game fully. They frequently release new content for it, which you have to pay for, but besides that, you own all there is to own. The dynamic always-changing world seems to be another cool feature that they announced will be in the game. Their example was, say there are a group of centaurs trying to take over a villiage, and nobody pays attention to them, they can actually overtake the villiage, but on the other hand, if people come in and stop them, they can be driven out of the area. It is always updating aswell, so if people stop caring about them, they will come back and start to gain ground again. In the long run, despite my innitial thoughts about the franchise, I think i'm going to go into Guildwars 2 with a clear mind and ready to adventure, although i'd love to recomend it, I can't, as I havent actually played it yet, but as far as first impressions from the public come, I think its going to be quite the game.
