Re: Guild Wars 2
It's always been free to play (as in no continuous subscription) but still required that you purchase the base game. Now you don't even have to do that, you can just download it completely for free from the sounds of things.Rhyela wrote:I'm so confused - I thought GW2 was always F2P??? All you had to pay for was the Black Lion stuff. Or am I getting my games confused??? D:

Re: Guild Wars 2
They used to be buy to play, but recently they went completely free. You can download, install, and play the base game without purchase now.TygerDarkstorm wrote:GW2 is what's called a Buy to Play game; ie, as Vephriel said, you buy the base game and then all of the content is free to play whenever you wish. They have a really nice microtransaction system, I think, too for buying in game stuff.

Re: Guild Wars 2
I apparently missed this post, but I just saw this the other day on FB (seems to be just for the base game not the new expansion). Pretty neat that they did that. I know they didn't maintain the player base they had hoped.Vephriel wrote:They used to be buy to play, but recently they went completely free.

Re: Guild Wars 2
What are the restrictions from the free to play game? E.g. can i use the AH (very important) can i trade with my husband.. etc
Can you play the game all the way through without having to pvp or grp with other ppl?
How do you see which homeworld you picked ? (My husband wants to join me )

Re: Guild Wars 2
There's a list of restrictions based on account type. Apparently, you can't send items or gold through the mail, At the Trading Post/AH you "Can buy and sell items from a selected list." You have starter maps only until character reaches level 10. Which I think means the starting areas.
As far as I know, PvP is a completely optional thing. You only have to PvP if you want to. (If this has changed, I'm not sure but I don't think so..) And I believe it's all instanced?
All the races have a different starting area. If you pick separate races, you'd have to level to 10 and find each other that way.
Here's a list.

Re: Guild Wars 2
Masteries is also unavailable if you had not bought the expansion also. they are I *think* similar to talent tree in wow?? I didn't buy the expac, haven't read up on masteries, so I could *probably am* be wrong - And I think its for level 80s only, but like I said I didn't buy
WvW is world vs world, like pvp. Also instanced, not open-world
Sorry if my attempt to explain sucks :c
If someone else sees this and I'm wrong with the expansion stuff pls feel free to correct and also smack me : )
