You have to buy the base game and each expansion pack just to be qualified to buy the latest. "We've seen cases in the industry where a game is buy-to-play, it comes out with expansion packs, and you want to get your friends into the game, but they can't just buy the latest thing and play with you," said O'Brien. "Guild Wars 2 is the game about tearing down those barriers" Instead of changing their business model, O'Brien says making the core Guild Wars 2 experience free is more about removing barriers for entry, another key focus of the developer. We love that customers who bought the base Guild Wars 2 got more than 40 major content releases for free, no monthly fees." "You buy the game, you can play it as long as you want for no monthly fee. "It's just such a clean business model," O'Brien said. In an interview with Polygon earlier this week to prepare for the announcement, O'Brien told us that this shift to free for the base game doesn't change the studio's core approach buy-to-play, a model he has "been championing since the original Guild Wars a decade ago."

In a press conference at the Penny Arcade Expo, ArenaNet president Mike O'Brien and Guild Wars 2 game director Colin Johanson surprised fans by announcing that the core Guild Wars 2 is officially available to play for free starting today. So in the end if you want to enjoy the game to the fullest you should aim for getting HoT, but it is absolutely possible to play it for free and get a big amount of playtime out of that.Just one day after announcing a release date for its new expansion, Heart of Thorns, developer ArenaNet unleashed even more major news for massively multiplayer RPG Guild Wars 2. When you hit level 80 you still have access to the core game which is a lot of content, but you will not be able to go to the HoT maps, you wont be able to use gliding, raiding, high level fractals and a lot of other things that is not connected to the core game. You can play through to level 80 on the same way as the rest of us do when we level, but you wont have access to level the class Revenant, and if you play pvp (which you start with at lvl 2) you wont have access to the elite specs which are very op compared to the normal core builds. You will have limitations on bagslots, character slots, trading post limitations and some other limits stated here: You can play the core game that the rest of us played for years for free.
