Still one of my favorite MMOs. My partner and I convinced a friend to try out GW2. It's been years since I have fully replayed the core game's story. Overall, I like the main story. When you create your character, you get to pick a couple of choices for their backstory. That can be really fun when you're creating alts. You can make a serious or goofy character. It adds to role playing.

I like how they presented the dialogue. You can make the text read quicker by skipping lines, or skip entire dialogue if you're replaying for achievements. They get rid of this format right after. :(

You can complete main story missions with friends! You can't do that in other MMOs for some ungodly reason.

The game never felt like a slog to me, unlike other MMOs. I enjoy you don't have "quests." You just run into an area and start helping.

I do find Orr boring. They lay heavy on the backstory from the first Guild Wars. Really helpful for someone like me that didn't play it. However, I don't need to see it again with every character. It's the same info. The final three zones into Orr are too similar. The enemies are the same. The atmosphere is identical. I did play around the time when these zones were the end game. Even back then...it was plain.
