If you would like to see a list of the full restrictions in place for free accounts, head here. The game they are playing is exactly the same game that they were playing Friday, no changes at all." Everybody can try, and I am confident that when people get into the game it’s going to be exactly the same. "You don’t have to read a big list of changes and tweaks and restrictions, because we’re opening it up the day we announce it. O'Brien's message to players is simple: try it. You’re going to have a bunch of new players but it’s going to be the same friendly community-the same protected community-that it’s always been. "If we did our jobs right," O'Brien says, "and I totally believe that we've done this right, new players coming into the game are going to get the full authentic experience, but the community is not going to change. I ask O'Brien if he's worried about what effect going free might have on the community-a group that ArenaNet has frequently praised for their helpfulness and friendliness. We've been working on various iterations of this for about a year now, making sure that we tweak and get this right" For example, you cant purchase the game until level 20 and you need to buy the Heart of Thorns expansion in order to unlock all skills. "It’s really important to me-I think it's really important to all of us-that we protect this great community that we have, and so we’ve been tweaking and tweaking. Guild Wars 2 is not structured as a deeply competitive game, and players who strive only for the best gear, the fastest leveling, and the sharpest end-game technique will likely miss most of what it has to offer. Guild Wars 2 is a free-to-play game, but it does have some restrictions. "It’s really important to me that we protect this great community."įor O'Brien, it's essential that ArenaNet safeguard the existing community. We just make sure that people play the game before they can get into a position where they can disrupt other players." "If you didn’t have to do that," says O'Brien, "then there’s no way that we could keep people who were being very disruptive from going back into world versus world over and over with new characters. The example given is World vs World, which will be unavailable until players reach level 60. We would delete the account, and they would create a new account and spam everyone in the game."įinally, ArenaNet has taken steps to stop new players from disrupting the game's more competitive modes. "If we didn’t have a subtle restriction like that in place, then a spammer could spam everyone in the game. "You can whisper to anybody you want to," he says, choosing one example, "but you can’t create new whisper conversations more than about once every 30 seconds." It's a small restriction, but one that shouldn't impact regular players. According to O'Brien, these are all subtle measures. Secondly, protections have been put in place against spammers.
