Once you played Runescape on P2P, you have automatically gained a monetary and experience advantage over F2P, hence why the purity of not being P2P while maxing an account is highly respected. Your title and intends are misleading, Runescape would be the prime example to disarm the argument that right now GW2 is using the F2P tag wrong. If it wasn't for having a F2P tag and factor, most if not anybody would have bothered to give it a try either, obviously it's marketing but it holds up to it as it's not like you have to invest anymore money other than into expansions to keep playing the game at all. They are not mandatory and without spoilers, the game is perfectly playable and was designed at the start without mind to it. Just as fun to begin playing with and new players have a LOT of content to go through in the learning process before having Gliders, Mounts or Masteries. You're still discrediting the fact that the core game is F2P and what people get is the Guild Wars 2 experience until 2015. If you like you can add me to your FL and I help you getting back into the game.
Guild wars 2 free to play restriction Patch#
There are so many changes it would be better to read patch notes :) They even renewed the complete game engine to PBR rendering + all maps were adopted to use expansions mounts eg. Well, it reads like you didn't play GW2 for years then?! Is this right? I mean, if you didn't play since then, I invite you to play it again and notice how heavily the game changed the last years. They changed it around the time the first dlc got online and before that, stuff was WAY better of the belt. This is the most honest way to give new players the change to find out if they like GW2 like MMO games.Īlso to add the fact that GW2 was NOT f2p from the very beginning but p2p. It is F2P as MMOs already have rough time to find new players. This maybe the best F2P MMO title Steam has then. and facing it it gives a lot other MMOs on steam which are better, f2p or not - also does GW2 has some p2w elements and huge major limitations which other mmos doesnt have (subclasses, gliders, mounts, Living world, etc.).Īlso to add the fact that GW2 was NOT f2p from the very beginning but p2p.

I dont wanna say GW2 is "maybe" a good game, i gave it up shortlay after the first dlc released but its for sure not as great as you say, NOT nowadays. It gives way better and other games which do better like the finally international release of PSO2 for one good sample - next to this its just way more fun. you comment on every topic on steam here like GW2 is the holy grail of MMOs. This is the most honest way to give new players the change to find out if they like GW2 like MMO games. I think gamers are smart enough to know how it works nowadays. Originally posted by ProChaser Linux:Why suddenly change the price model? It is F2P for years and it is. Hopefully they will reconsider that decision. I support GW2 moving to steam, although I'm rather disappointed they aren't allowing old players to migrate to steam. These would aid you quite a lot when leveling a new character, although leveling is still quite doable without them.įair warning if you are a PvP enthusiast, to fully engage on PvP and WvW you would need the expansions, some of the best class combos are locked behind them and mounts are just mandatory for WvW.

There are core features locked behind the expasions like gliders, mounts and advanced classes. I highly encourage everyone to purchase Path of Fire, as it also nets you the Heart of Thorns and it's just years of content packed into a nice package.

It could be considered a full game in 2012 considering the standards back then, but you are still getting a nice amount of content for free on steam to try it out. Most MMOs use F2P as a marketing tool, but I'm here to clarify: GW2 base game is an extended trial, not a F2P game.
