The best holiday of the year is almost here! I’m talking about Black Friday, of course, that magical day when everything is on sale! I’m not even being sarcastic: I save up for Black Friday for months. (And then I shop the sales on my PC in my PJs. I’m not going out in the shopping mess. Those people are bonkers.)

This year, we’re rolling out a guide a day all week in the lead up to the Black Friday hoopla, all MMO-related, all useful for gamers who read Massively OP — and useful for us, too, because anything you buy through Amazon through us kicks some monies our way and helps us stay online, all for stuff you were going to buy anyway. In fact, even if you don’t like any of our suggestions, clicking through us to get to Amazon and buying whatever you want helps us out. We love those of you who already do that!

Today’s edition is all about Guild Wars 2, since even though I tease its foibles from time to time, it is my favorite modern MMORPG. Enjoy!
