In a time when all MMORPGs charged a monthly subscription fee, Guild Wars (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Guild-Wars/)was the shining light that said a monthly payment wasn't the only future for the genre. For enthusiasts of the first game in the series, ArenaNet didn't need to change much in Guild Wars 2 (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Guild-Wars-2/), but the upcoming title adds upon the instanced gameplay of the original by adding events and making the universe feel more alive than ever before.
Gone are the healers and quests have been abandoned, but you shouldn't see that as a bad thing, as ArenaNet's new direction really drives home why Guild Wars 2 doesn't seem to be your average MMO.
