[dropcap size=dropcap]N[/dropcap]Csoft and ArenaNet announced the release of a new content update for their popular MMORPG, Guild Wars 2. The new title is called The Nightmares Within. Thus, players will have the opportunity to continue the dark story that began in October with the launch of Tower of Nightmares.
In the vast world of the game – Tyria – gamers have already deciphered the secret that protected the sinister monolithic tower – The Tower of Nightmares. The Nightmares Within enables the assault against the tower itself. Players will have to face the strong Toxic Alliance and survive new Special Encounters. If they are brave enough to explore the rooms from the Tower of Nightmares.
Simultaneously with this release, two new Guild Wars 2 packages were shipped to stores: Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition and Guild Wars 2 – 2000 Gem Card.
Until Guild Wars 2 was release, the MMORPG market was already saturated with countless titles who tried to dethrone World of Warcraft from the top. Most of them died before getting to a subscriber base comparable in figures with the game developed by Blizzard. And the main motive was that in fact, the vast majority of the MMORPG type games were mere copies of World of Warcraft. They failed to bring anything new to the table.
Instead, Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 have tried different approaches that proved to be successful. The game mechanics are more instinctual rather than based on a complex and rigid theorycrafting. Moreover, they were available in free 2 play versions, without imposing a monthly tax, like WOW. While the first game in the series was well received by gamers from all around the world, Guild Wars 2 proved to be even better. ArenaNet succeeded in creating a huge game with a unique design and a complex story full of conversations, videos and choices that give life to an atypical MMO.
The main story of Guild Wars 2 describes the world 250 years after the events that took place in Eye of the North, the last Guild Wars expansion. One year later, we are more than happy to take part to a new development that follows the first expansion of the game, Guild Wars 2 The Nightmares Within. See the presentation trailer below:
