Guild Wars 2 - Base game is now free

If you have been on the fence about trying it out, now is your chance.  While the free version has restrictions, you can still experience 90% of the game for free.  Limitations include (but not limited to) a max of 2 characters, limited chat access, some Trading Post limitations (no Gem Store access), a minimum level must be attained to leave starting areas, lvl60 min for WvW, and no guild bank access.  However, unlike most "free" games, you can fully advance a character to level 80 and experience the existing land of Tyria (new HoT expansion zones will be unexplorable unless you purchase the expansion).  And if you choose to purchase the Heart of Thorns expansion, your existing account will be updated/unlocked...so no starting over!
