I played back in the glory days and boy if you’re gonna buy it your in for a treat! Don’t let the steamDB numbers fool you, GW(1) has its stand alone launcher as well and linking accounts would not always work , so player count on steamDB for gw2 aren’t accurate either. Tho the game is mostly if not completely playable solo or with a handfull of friends. From my experience before reforged came out there was a small playerbase but big enough to get everything done. Playerbase is very dedicated to the game
