I'm sure it will be able to handle it, graphics don't look too overwhelming considering it looked the exact same when they first showed it off. TBH some of the textures I've seen in the latest press release beta videos are horrendous, hopefully by the time it comes out, they'd have improved on that department with a slightly higher res texture pack or something.

I was referring to the influx of press release beta videos being posted up on every video hosting site in existence so there is definitely a wide range of hardware which is besides the point. Graphics look dated, obviously due to development times which is basically why gameplay is smooth. There's a trade off to be had of course but there are other MMOs I could mention which perfectly marry graphics and smooth gameplay together.

It isn't from the same devs, they are completely different. GW 2 is developed by Arenanet and Blade and Soul is being developed by Team PULA iirc. The publishers are the same, NCsoft.

From what I read on the FAQ, datacenters are in EU and NA only no mention of anything in Asia as of yet but I'm sure they will implement something closer in the future, hopefully something closer than Korea again.

There were Korean servers in GW1

Highly doubt there will be an IP block, they have already stated that they won't restrict anyone from playing. GW1 was pretty open to the world as well

Yes

Can't link my bloody GW account ._.

I meant link my GW1 account to GW2 account lol

What's that D:
Oh thanks

Just saw that on Reddit as well at times like these it feels good to have a 20mb connection

You need to link your paypal to your debit card first, and after that any transactions you make will be deducted straight from your savings account.

It's pre-purchase, not pre-order meaning that you pay full price for the game. If you do buy it, you get to join the upcoming beta weekends.

For those of you still wondering if 60 USD is worth it. Think of all the shit you buy nowadays for 60 bucks. You get 6-7 hours playtime at best. With this, you might play it over the weekend for abit but it's worth is MUCH more than that seeing as content is rife, definitely more so than other 60 dollar titles on the market today. For me it was a simple decision as to paying a one time fee for a triple A mmo.
