If you don't know what Guild Wars 2 is, I suppose I should start by explaining that is is an MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game that is free to download and free to play. You don't have to upgrade to the expansions right away because the free world is massive. However, like many games that have been around for years and years, there are not many people in those areas anymore. To be honest I don't know where they are.

There are at the moment 2 expansion packs that cost something like 20 to 40 dollars each, if you want them. You are never obligated to purchase these things. There are optional purchases in game that take place at the "Gem Store" and most of these items offer no real playing advantage and they are just convenience or aesthetic items.

One of the main parts of this game (and an aspect of it that I think is actually pretty cool) is how you harvest items on the various maps that you travel through. These are generally referred to as "nodes" because that is what they are. Their locations change but only to certain areas, basically people are at least somewhat aware of where the nodes will be that day.

I don't know if all of those fit on one "line" but i hope so. They are ore, lumber, and plant nodes and they are scattered all over the friggin place. My acquire what these nodes have to offer by using your pickaxe, axe, or sickle but the problem is that unless you buy ones with real-world money, they have a limited number of times you can use them. This I suppose shouldn't be very problematic if you just remember to always buy more but trust me when I say you will forget

These guys will never run out of charges, you can use them forever and ever. They will never break, they will never run out of uses and some of them even have a unique animation that I would avoid if i were you because you will get sick of it and at the end of the day nobody gives a crap if your harvesting sickle plays a tune when you use it.

I have only ever purchased a few items in the game and the only way to get these ones is to either save up a bunch of gold and exchange if for gems, or to break out the mastercard and pay $8 for it or something. I know people that grind for hours to make something like 6 gold in-game, and if you just wash dishes at Taco Bell for an hour you can get 3 times that much gold so for me it was an easy decision since I vowed many years ago to never let an MMO become a grind ever again.

I wouldn't say that very many things in the Gem store are actually worth buying but since gathering materials is a big part of the game if you ever want to have the best gear in the game, these unbreakable tools are definitely worth it in my book.

hello @gooddream how are you doing today? how pleasant is your weekend?
all is well right?
today I see your post again, this really makes me happy to see your post again, the game is a unique thing, which can make people crazy about the game, maybe this is one of the games that I like, thanks for sharing, have a nice day and have a good day

You save up gold in the game but collecting gold is my hobby in real life:)

Great one. I must commend the developers of this game, Guild wars 2. A game with practical and real life application.
I recommend guild wars for not only a military personnel or those who are aspiring to join the force, but also to those who love technicality, challenge and coordination.
I promise once the game is started, The feeling of a General will set in, planing and strategy as well as synergy are pockets of the uniform.
Thank you for your insight.

It seems Guild wars 2 is one of the most popular MMO games in the market. I have to admit I didnt play this one or the part one. My strategy or MMO games life ended up playing Age of empire 1, 2 and 3 alongwith Rise of nations, Age of Mytholology and Command and conquer. But, after reading your review I m looking forword to playing it.

The thing I like the most in today's gaming marketing that many productions are giving you the opportunity play the games for free. Also, all the games now are online so you will enjoy the gameplays with your friends or other players all around the world.
I am now into mobile games and my current favourite game is PUBG. Its a free full version Action game and you can play in both FPP and TPP mode. What I like the most is, being the most playing and advance game of the year, this game is totally free, but if you want to get better skins for your guns, better cloths or other things like parachute, car and boat skins, you can buy them via in game currency and I actually spend around 10$ to decorate my avatar (Right now I m in really a good position in the ranking so it's really a matter of showing off! 😉)
I also would like to see a gaming review of PUBG from you, its also available on all devices... Windows, android, iOS, PS, XBOX ... u name it. So, choose your platform, grab your weapon and jump in!

stay well and keep going @gooddream.
