Guild Wars: Eye of the North

Guild Wars: Eye of the North
Guild Wars, introduced in 2005, was one of the most popular MMORPG's. It was one of the earliest such games to feature a business model not based on a monthly subscription. It was popular enough to spawn multiple expansions including teh 2007 Guild Wars: Eye of the North. Eye of the North, released in 2007 and available for Windows and OS X, was the 4th campaign and was the first to require that the user have one of the previous three. It was very much designed for veteran players who knew the game well (there was no tutorial) and had reached level 10 or higher. Eye of the North featured 18 new dungeons, 150 new skills, 40 new armor sets and 10 new heroes as well as a number of other new items. There were also two new races introduced including the Norn and the Asura. Eye of the North largely takes place in dungeons and really acts as a bridge to Guild Wars 2 which was first introduced in 2012 and is still active. The image at the top is from Girls of Gaming and features Jora who is a Norn NPC involved in a number of quests in Eye of the North. If you are a fan of MMORPG's (and have the time), then Guild Wars 2 is worth checking out. At least it doesn't have a monthly subscription fee.
