This game is a classic, and it's exactly how newer MMO's SHOULD play. Full party required just to kill a bunny rabbit? Check. Recruitable NPC's for when you're feeling anti-social? Check. Towns that act like lobbies, but once you step outside, the world is a private instance for you and your friends (and/or NPC's)? And random idiots can't steal from you or get in your way? Check and check. Combat that actually requires strategy instead of mindless, one-shot kill grinding? Check. Unlimited respeccing and deep theory-crafting thanks to sub-classes and a limited skill load out? Possibly one of the biggest selling points. Simply buy-to-play and no subscription or "freemium" crap? In this economy? Stop it, now you're just toying with me. Try it. Get frustrated. Get addicted. Make friends who last a lifetime.

Having over 5k hours on this game, almost all of it on the launcher, I can say the game has a ton of content for $20. I do not remember having a bad time over those 5k hours. For the reviews that say its a scam because it is not a remake, they are right. It is not a remake or a reimagining, it is a game that is 20 years old, that had only two people working on it in their off time as a passion project for the last 10 years, getting a small but dedicated team to work on it. This could mean anything. From QoL updates to adding in addition expansions to essentially making an alternate time line of pre. If you've never played Guild Wars 1 then grab it. If you are an old player that dropped the game a long time ago get back in, the game feels as alive as in 2008. If you cant remember your account contact support with as much info about your account that you know they are usually pretty good about getting accounts back. 10/10 A unique experience I have not found anywhere else.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 20-Year Veteran Review – A Perfect Reforging of a Legend I’ve been playing Guild Wars since the original launch nearly 20 years ago, with over 20,000 hours across all campaigns. I’ve lived through every meta, every balance patch, every speedclear era, and every community wave this game has ever had. Guild Wars Reforged isn’t just a remaster! it genuinely feels like coming home, but everything is polished, modernized, and smoother without losing its soul. The original combat system is still here: fast, tactical, skill-based, and punishing if you don’t think. But now it runs like silk. The revamped visuals keep the classic style without turning it into some generic modern MMO. The QoL updates alone feel like ArenaNet finally granting every wish veteran players whispered for years. Running through Ascalon, Kaineng, the Desolation… it all hits incredibly hard emotionally. The nostalgia is real, but Reforged adds enough new features and improvements that it feels fresh again, not just recycled. What impressed me most: The original atmosphere is 100% intact Hero AI improvements are insane better than 15 years ago when they slightly changed AI combat system Classic builds still work, but new options open up creativity again e.g. current Meta Towns feel alive with players like in 2005 Performance and load times are still good The community vibes are just like the old days – helpful, funny, chaotic, depends. After 20k hours, I honestly didn’t think Guild Wars could surprise me anymore. I was wrong. 20th Anniversary gave us what we needed. If you loved the original, this is the version we always dreamed of. If you’re new, this is the best way to experience one of the greatest MMOs ever made. Massive respect to ArenaNet. This is how you honor a legacy. 10/10 – For Tyria, for old times, for the next 20 years.

One of, if not the, most incredible online/co-op RPG of all time. It feels like an mmo at times, but you can also play it singleplayer. Really amazing community as well.
