While it is hard to say that Guild Wars lacks atmosphere, it sure has some pretty limiting factors holding it back. The most obvious is the static instanced environments. The game also lacks a dynamic weather and a day and night cycle. These alone prevent the game from feeling really “alive”.

While most of info on Guild Wars 2 has been general and vague, there’s plenty of hints about what this new game will bring. But will it recapture the original audience?
