Guild Wars 2 was hyped to be the next big MMO and with excellent sales figures it hasn't dissapointed since its inception in August last year. If you’ve been holding off on trying it though, then this weekend Guild Wars 2 will be hosting a free-to-play weekend beginning at 12:01 a.m. on August 23 and running until 11:59 p.m. on August 25 (PDT). All you’ll need to get immersed in the mmo world is your name, email address, birth date, and an alias.
Guild Wars 2, like its predecessor, operates on a single purchase with no ongoing subscription fees. The game features expansive story content, dynamic public events, and world-versus-world PvP modes offer lots of stuff to do, so you’ll only be able to see a fraction of the content in a weekend’s worth of time but if you have nothing planned then it could be great to get some friends over and all journey through the game together. If you deem it worthy of your time then now is the time to try it out!
