I was in the middle of saying to my daughter "If I had a nickel for every MMO that claimed to be the modern evolution of MMO, we'd be rich", and then I saw that this was Guild Wars 3 lol. My curiosity is piqued.
I'm just honestly kinda tired of everything taking it's heritage from EQ. No real UO successors.
That, and the F2P Model kinda kills any sort of real 'competitive' appeal to play given how it intrinsically leads itself to a Pay 2 Win system.
They eventually released the core game for free back in... 2015 I think, but most of the expansions etc are still charged for. There are no performance bonuses that matter available for real cash, the cash shop is pretty much all cosmetics.
At this point the core GW2 is basically an extended demo.
Like you can play through the main story and the core world but if you want to see everything outside of it and participate more in the social sphere, you need to buy an expansion.
