guild wars 2 the razing update Volunteers gathered from all over Tyria in the hopes of pushing back The Gathering Storm. So far, they’ve succeeded.

This is a game that plays like some of the great PS2 RPGs (in the vein of The Summoner), but on a bigger multi-user scale. It’s also very, very addictive.
