Why is it fun to explore the world in Guild Wars 2? Guild Wars 2 employs a clever system where quests are integrated into the exploration of the game world. Since the MMORPG places great value on telling an engaging story, traveling through the landscape is important to fully experience the story. These “dynamic events” introduce a fresh component to the MMORPG world:
- You receive quests in Guild Wars 2 by participating in events
- Suddenly, a monster invasion might occur near you, leading you to a mission
- These events reward you greatly and advance the story
- The events elevate the story to a more global and thus epic level
- You learn about the world and the background story as you travel through the landscape
- You also encounter many NPCs who provide you with tasks that in turn yield rewards
What makes the world of Guild Wars 2 so interesting? ArenaNet created an intriguing backstory for the world of Tyria in Guild Wars 2 that you uncover throughout your adventures. This lore even plays an important role in the story. During the “Living Story,’ ancient threats from long past emerge, making it interesting to learn more about their backgrounds.
Tyria is a typical fantasy world where the adventures and deeds of heroes take center stage. Completing quests and following the story is akin to reading a good fantasy book.
Tyria offers diverse landscapes and locations that are enjoyable to explore because they seem so exotic and fascinating. This stimulates the exploration drive to learn more about these places.
