Yesterday, I learned about a musician guild that tabs and plays songs using Guild Wars 2's instruments. I wasn't aware that you can actually play instruments in-game!

A week ago, I was playing with my WvW group against an enemy WvW group and both groups are respectful of each other, with both commanders communicating through DMs to have a fair fight like letting us destroy their keep cannons before our fight.

A month ago, I learned that there's a racing scene involving roller beetles - guilds that are dedicated to making custom tracks and hosting racing events. And not just roller beetles - even Griffons! There's a griffon stunt scene in this game as well! I was also invited to a guild that trains people in higher-tier fractals and they now passed their goal of helping 69 players get their "Dances with Demons" title.

2 months ago, the day I first opened the game, I was approached by a random person who taught me the basics of the game. Hours later, I was again approached by a random person who helped me with some map events and gave me some gold to get me some gold level 20 gears.

I just want to thank ANet for making this game and of course, the Guild War 2's playerbase. This is the first MMO game where I saw how alive, helpful and diverse its community is.
