Guild Wars 2 is the fourth primary entry in the Guild Wars franchise and claims to be unique in the MMO genre by offering a storyline that is responsive to fans’ actions, which is common in single-player role-playing games but rarely seen in multiplayer ones. A dynamic event system replaces traditional questing, utilizing the ripple effect to allow fans to approach quests differently as part of a persistent world.
May 2nd update for Guild Wars 2 is available on Steam.
