They've had nearly a decade to build a playerbase; GW2 has had less than a year. The steam release has also come much later in the lifecycle of the game, so fewer existing players are willing to transition over. For some more accurate player count comparisons, when FF14 came out in 2014, it had 7000 players on Steam.
The launch of Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure™ has filled the skies of Tyria with skyscales, Halloween is in full swing, and we’re back with another update on all things Guild Wars 2. Going through the Veil “Through the Veil,” the first of three major updates to Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure, is coming on
This game had a seperate housing area out side of the game zone. It was always populated due to being able to set up craft tables, trophy sections etc.. Also real estate was player based, and owning a deed to the land was a big market. Some houses were cheap 100k or so to fully upgrade.You can find most addons in the Guild Wars 2 Unofficial Add-On Manager. You might also be interested in Blish HUD or TacO . I second this, addonmanager and blishhud. I use yolomouse aswell. Blish has a similar addon to yolomouse, so you can just use that if you don't want to manage two separate addons . Tiny correction: the first three chapters are racebound. The orders are introduced in the lv30 section, yes, but there are still different versions for each species at that point. It's only lv40+ that start converging. There's one overarching quest every 10 levels (10, 20, 30, etc) that have 3-4 parts each. The only thing left is dps, not for all tastes :P. Guild Wars 2, like Guild Wars before it was designed to use PvP as end game. Once you have done almost everything in Guild Wars 2, your options are play PvP or do WvW and farm mats to craft up some ascended armor and weapons.
Player Immersion + Personal Expression: Imagine having a place to call your own within the vast virtual world of GW2. Housing would provide players with precisely that—a personal space to customize and decorate to their heart's content. It's an opportunity for players to unleash their creativity and showcase their unique individuality.
