Thanks for posting, this was interesting to watch. I have been back to visit Guild Wars 1 in this last week and it was so good to revisit some old places from my memories as well as trying to explain to my non gaming girlfriend how some of my characters are 20 years old now.
No game will ever be what Guild Wars is to me and although I know in this community it may be an unpopular opinion Guild Wars 2 was one of the most disappointing games releases for me after the first game. Ultimately though I appreciate the ethos and the passion all these people have for the games and the world they created and that they have kept the first game running consistently still without charging any additional money is a credit to them and their vision for the community and the game and world as a whole.
Much respect to arena net, they are a gem in this world of shitty, vapid games companies we live in now!

I would say that both games is an achievement. Guild Wars was unique and still is, while Guild Wars 2 also was quite unique, while also being very different from the original Guild Wars.

Absolutely, I do agree in both respects, just for me personally I wanted more of the same from the second game where as it turned out to be a very different game.
I don’t think it is a bad game or anything, it just isn’t what I wanted at the time and since then I have just never been able to get into it. Which is a shame.
