The core game been play for free since Sept 2015 and second expansion landed during 2017.
I've been playing guild wars 2 since release date and been appreciating the game more than any other mmo out there, I call it home since I've been passion about something different within the western mmo, eastern mmorpg didn't appeal to me due by miss leading and secondary the development team design the mmo around their culture from ground up so eastern mmos couldn't be my cup of tea.
