What amazes me the most is that the majority of this video is in-game footage, and that the combat and events in the actual game are exactly as shown here.

It really is what they say it is. :-)

So, tell me how real are those games.

actually when gw1 was this young, it had far less content than what gw2 currently has. it had less armor and weapon skins, titles weren't even implemented till like a year after the game was released, and there were only 2 "elite areas" UW and FoW.

Uhm... not really =]

This game has died off.... No player base

They might haven't been right about everything, still the most enjoyable MMO i've played so far... Perfect games don't exist, if you dont like it, simply dont play it^^

Cause this isn't ironic at all, right Anet?

GW2 dosent seem like it was made by Anet to me but a whole different company altogther. The company is so different now, seems they’re catering to the wow crowd and don’t give a damn about their GW1 fanbase.

Does anybody remember what it's like to play other mmo's? Having to grind your way up to max level by doing boring crap, following ! everywhere in a set path? This game makes it very hard to grind on the journey to max level, and also is just a joy to explore. It seems to me that this video is expressing that journey. The grind comes after when you want to make your shiny stuff. The only way to make it a grind is if you want it to be. There's plenty of other stuff in here other games don't have.

Look at this video to learn how to break promises and lie to your trully fans.
