Guild Wars 3 is 'significantly more' of an MMO than the first game, but that doesn't mean it's like GW2: 'All three

ArenaNet studio head Colin Johanson shared details about the upcoming Guild Wars 3, stating that it will land near the middle of the MMO spectrum. While it fits the definition of an MMORPG significantly more than the first Guild Wars, it will not replicate the large-scale gameplay pillars of Guild Wars 2. This design choice is intended to allow all three games in the franchise to coexist as distinct experiences on different timelines.
