Guild Wars 2 does something really special with their living story, in adding new zones along the way, on top of the four Heart of Thorns zones. They've been doing this with the living story even before Heart of Thorns came out and there is something really unique about this. When I think about WoW and how there are five zones (about) added each expansion, I think about the differences between the games. I've never played a game like this where so many full zones are released later as part of the story. Before even playing Guild Wars 2 I thought it would be cool for there to be an interactive movie, where you played through part of it and watched part of it. Now I realize it makes a lot more sense to have it be a movie within a game, like Guild Wars 2 does it. It drives the story just like a movie would be driven and just like in a movie you end up in new areas, and in zones that feel like new worlds. This is important because it helps to bring the game to life. I'm not just going to the zones to help people to level, gather, ect... I am going there because it is part of my story. It is part of what makes my character who they are and how they learn to battle the dragon along the way. The new zones are an accumulation of the story, and which makes them more special than the normal zones, especially because they get unlocked as you go along. You already have an emotional attachment to them, because of the journey your character takes. I can tell that a lot of work goes into these zones, and that is something that is really neat and impressive. In all honesty I just wish they where getting payed more for their work, because I can tell that along with these zones and another expansions worth of content that there is so much more they want to do. I appreciate the new zones, and the story that goes along with them. It pulls me in, and I gotta say it has some pretty good cliff hangers, unique characters, and interesting and beautiful places to visit.
