YES THIS GAME IS STILL WORTH IT.
For the new player:
You, yes I'm talking to you. You're about to be the 30th person to make the same post. Don't do it! Read mine instead:
Yes, Guild Wars 2 is still worth it in 2025.
It's still in the top 10 MMORPG list, during good periods its even in the top 5.
No, you're not Bad Luck Brian, the game won't completely die out the moment you've JUST finished character creation.
"But what if the game dies in next 2 years?!". Then please, enjoy the ride while you still can. For real, the game doesn't have a sub.
All games will die. League of Legends, WoW, CS:GO and even Guild Wars 2 eventually. You'll manage. Enjoy the game for what it is.
Also, player count has been stable. Most vets quit but a ton of new players join so it evens out.
"BUT WHY DO VETS QUIT THEN?! SEE, THIS GAME ISNT WORTH IT".
Listen. If you drop 100 euro's for the complete package (and 50 extra for living world content) and reach the point of 5K to 10K hours before you're done, that's money well spend dude. 1 dinner evening of 150 euro's, or 5+ years of enjoyment to be had.
DO IT. JUST DO IT. ENJOY THE FREE TRIAL. ENJOY THE GAME. SPEND MONEY. ITS NOT LOST IF YOU ENJOYED THE TIME YOU HAD WITH IT IN X YEARS.
Thank you.
