GW2 has EVERYTHING. A massive world with diverse regions. There are players everywhere! Soo many events are going on. PvE, Boss fights, Hero Challenges, Dungeons, Fractals (haven't tried them yet), Raids, Strike Missions, and something called World vs World (which sounds AMAZING), and more.

To give you some perspective, there are 24 worlds in North America and 27 in Europe!

Crafting is quite possibly the deepest I've seen in 18yrs of gaming. As I was leveling up one of my professions, I went from 5 crafting recipes to well over 250! Oh, and you can discover new recipes at a crafting station. You aren't dumping gold at some vendor or the Trading Post (allows players from everywhere to trade).

Even the mounts here are fun. Some of them include a skimmer - which can travel over water or quicksand. Another one is a Griffon which allows you to fly! (ok, it's more like gliding but it looks fun). There's another one called a Skyscale which can really fly and hover.

Throw in fishing, skiffs (aka boats), and a pretty deep cosmetic game too. And I'm only a few months into the game. People have been playing Guild Wars 2 for YEARS.

It is a truly impressive game. Free to play to get started but you will want to purchase some of the expansions - the Living World Seasons, Heart of Thorns, Path of Fire, and End of Dragons. Some people dive into The Icebrood Saga too but I don't see it yet.

Give it a go!



This game continues to amaze me. There is just soooo much stuff to do in ESO. My first two months, I was a complete tourist and spent the time just exploring the wonderful world of Tamriel. Each zone has its own unique character. Take Eastmarch, a snowy region in the north where, if you time it right, you can actually see ESO's version of Northern Lights!

I'm a filthy casual so I'm taking my time and enjoying the ride with ESO. Some people play the market and bring in millions of gold in a month (maybe a week?) Others grind out their levels as fast as possible. Not me. I'm on the slow boat and exploring EVERYTHING.

Being in a great guild is a must! Before I joined my guild, my gold income was SLOW. The first 2 weeks or so after joining, I was over a million gold. Plus a good guild has all sorts of events, raffles, and auctions. Mine has regularly scheduled events each week hosted by some pretty incredible people.

If you're looking for a new adventure, I highly recommend ESO!
