How the subscription in Guild Wars 2 will work and extra content
• Subscription in Guild Wars 2 will be free as previously noted, however the game will be sold at a normal game price and everyone needs an original copy of GW2 Gold to play.
• ArenaNet hasn’t decided yet how they will feature content after the game goes live. They will however begin working on new content in Guild Wars 2 when it goes gold, but whether they will provide it through free upgrades, mini addons, or Guild Wars 2 expansion packs – that is yet to be decided.
Lore and Story in Guild Wars 2
Storytelling in GW 2 will gain much depth as personalized stories will be developed based on the players race, profession, and decisions taken throughout the game. Players will feel like their actions have consequences and what they do in the world of Guild Wars will gain much more valuable meaning.
Guild Wars 2 Map
Tyria and the world around it in Guild Wars 2 will be expanded tremendously really making the original Guild Wars world puny in comparison. Not only will the map in Guild Wars 2 be much large in terms of available space, there will also be much more detail everywhere around the map meaning that it’s not just a big desert or wasteland for you to rush through. Previously, travel between zone boundaries was limited but GW 2 will allow for much more sightseeing if that is what you wish.
