-reserved-

Guild war is quite unique MMO, so i gonna buy it and put my 1st post on this thread. LOL

wow..finally!!

baaaa. about time.

i wonder what are the system requirements.

i hope the netcode is good.

That logo reminds me of Dragon Age lol

ARGH!&@*^ just looking at the concept arts already makes me want to play and I haven't finished the first game yet

GuildWars2.com has been updated!, new trailers inside!

Epic Reveal~

Holy freaking hell, the game looks BEAUTIFUL!

Crap, with APB using the same pricing scheme as this, I don't know which one to get...

Or both.

My wallet weeps

Let me help you.

GW 2 uses swords, APB is all about boom boom pow. I did say get both of the genre Let your wallet cry for a night, it will be fine the next day

and you guys forgot of Star Wars ToR

but that's with subscription fees probably, hands down

I think I'm gonna cry ....the game is so beautiful....I've waited so long to take a look at tyria after 250 years

Holy molly, the video made me wet... been long since there's a game that made me so... Only thing now is I pray hard they will maintain the same pricing scheme.

The concept art animation reminds me of Relic style cinematic cutscenes, wise move on Arenanet in making full use of their concept art as it is one of their strongest asset.
Pricing will remain the same, confirmed long ago and also in the FAQs.

I'm actually quite skeptical bout the no monthly fee scheme. The reason why I stopped GW is that, it has very very limited added content. And once you're done with the game's current PvE, there's nothing else to do except PvP-ing. Which was fun but, it wont last long, gets stale pretty quick from my experience.

Where as other MMOs like, say, WoW, you get a lot of updates and contents and stuffs and a lot more frequently. And I can choose to either PvP or PvE.

That said, I'm almost certain that I'm getting this

The thing is, I'm a bit of a scrooge with my money, so as long as I'm actively paying a monthly fee for something, I feel "compelled" to play it just to make sure I get my money's worth (Which made my first and only month of subbing to WoW... feel like a job). With GW I never had the compulsion to play it because I *needed* to get my money's worth... I could do it whenever I liked (Until today I still haven't finished the PvE missions... Just played a dozen or so missions after Ascension)

The downside is that the playerbase may fluctuate from time to time depending on whether ppl are in the mood to play... So, my grand plan now is to just get as many friends as possible in and then whenever someone's in the mood, hop in for a quick fix and that's it.

Funny thing is, I loved GW for the PvE... Didn't really bother much with the PvP. But, I might just give it a shot this time around.


APB is just a sandbox FPS online, so I know I'll love it out of the box.

(Need I say more... ?)

I'm quite skeptical on the no monthly subscription fee part myself after seeing the trailer.

GW is said to be a casual MMOG so for players who are slightly more hardcore then usual it gets old quite fast. I on the other hand have no time for grindy games such as Wow (no to mention wasting the subscription paid every month) since I haven't much time to be dedicated to gaming so GW suit me just fine. (Haven't finish a lot of things till date )

You can't blame GW for being what it is since their business model & concept are quite different from average MMOGs. GW is more like a single player game with extra online capability rather than a game made especially for online play. Since there is no monthly fee ArenaNet will not have enough revenue to fund their development for new content on the existing game. Wow on the other hand charge a substantial monthly fee every month from everyone which helps keep the game alive with new content. F2P games usually got their revenue from ingame shop making F2P games doesn't really seems like F2P (I think some made more money than Wow doing this).

There are a number of local GW players which are still quite active in the game. Feel free to look us up whenever you see us online. (I am usually on during the weekends).
