Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead?

  Guild wars 2 is a very good game, but very different than guild wars 1.

  They both avoid the endless gear and level grind, but gw2 is generally easier and less tactical. You can solo most of it. Builds are a little more limited, but it’s also harder to make a useless character.

  They addressed the most common problems with early mmos: other players are never a bad thing. there’s no kill stealing. If you’re doing some event to fight off demons that have invaded the town, and other people show up, the game silently scales up a to accommodate more players, and everyone gets credit. it’s great.

  I really like it. I don’t play it every day, but I go back to it all the time.

    Yeah it does a lot of stuff very good. The only thing I miss is something like chasing WoW raids drops. In GW2 you’re almost always working on crafting/mysticforge/achievements instead. I play a lot though don’t get me wrong :P

  I’ve tried getting into GW2, but just couldn’t really get into it.

  Doesn’t help that I fell of contact with all of my old guild mates who were supposed to be switching over.
