Guild Wars 2

In our last diary entry we took a look at what made the World Vs World section of Guild Wars 2 so special. It’s fun, it’s huge, it helps you with your main quest – but it has its problems as well. Part of that is down to the fact that you can’t have non-stop action all of the time, and part of it is that we’re not quite to the point, connection-wise, where we can actually support the bits that have non-stop action. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

This week, I thought we’d go through a few tips that may or may not help you beat the competition in the mists. Feel free to add your own below.

Guild Wars 2 might never have an expansion, and that's a shame. The odd thing is, I can't really explain why it's a shame.

I can see the obvious downsides - the lack of another big launch, even less paid content, not "huge" world-wide changes - but all of these things are, I suppose, possible with the current Living World mode of updating. So why is there a problem?

Because expansions are the way things have always been added to games, and that isn't the case any more.
