Choosing one of five races and creating your character is only the beginning for players in Guild Wars 2. As you progress you will create your own personal story in the world of Tyria, where your actions will have consequences. ArenaNet is building upon the successful Guild Wars system, bringing back the features fans loved from the original and improving on the disliked qualities. The legendary player vs. player, strong competitive play, anti-grind design system, powerful narrative and no-subscription fee from the first will all return for the second.
Guild Wars 2 moves players away from the endlessly boring level grinding seen in most MMOs. ArenaNet haven't said much about the actual levelling system itself, but have stated that: "Guild Wars 2 will have the kind of extensive character advancement appropriate to a persistent-world RPG." It will also allow friends of all levels to play with or against each other. Guild Wars 2 will use an effective sidekick system, similar to the one used in City of Heroes, which will allow low-level friends to play with higher levels without suffering the wrath of unstoppable enemies. The player vs. player system will organize all players to be at the same level and have access to a neutral set of equipment. This will allow for fairer and more enjoyable gameplay.
