    Back in 2005 I got to speak with one of the guys formerly from Cyan Worlds regarding MMO's after their whole Myst/Uru thing went pear shaped. He was working on Guild Wars (1) at the time and said their main focus was letting the players participate in a story - the gameplay was all geared around enjoying the setting, with a central element of "fun combat", not in terms of maximizing subscription time.

    I never had time to play GW1, but I suppose when your profit model is not based on months subscribed but only game discs sold it drastically changes the resulting product. It remains to see what happens when this hits the street. The amount of effort put into gameworld verisimilitude is impressive.

    I never played GW1, but I'll probably play GW2 since it looks so much like a single player Dungeon Siege on roids. Knowing that you only have to pay for it once just makes it downright absurd.

    I didn't think there'd be that much production value in a game that was F2P, but I guess they want to be the undisputed kings of their market.

    F2P is a dangerous word to a lot of people and i wouldn't classify this as that or it may turn people off.

    This may set a new standard. Buy the game and expansions with no monthly fee for something of this quality is awesome.

    I also only played GW1 shortly but from what i hear, Arena Net's customer service is supposed to be pretty good i think which is also a plus.

    No shit. I looked at that and went, "Now THAT's a fucking dragon."

    @no monthly fees: with GW1 we saw that arenanet liked to introduce a new expansion pack roughly every 6-12 months, which of course included asstonhugeloads of new content each and every time and helped curb their lack of a subscription fee income, i for one am so for that model again because then you *know* you're getting totally new storylines and content and if you don't want to pay for the new stuff because you're not a huge pve fan then it didn't really make a difference.

    if GW2 delivers on like half of the stuff they're saying it'll have then it'll be a huge success in my book

    Holy crap, that dragon looks fricking awesome. I might need to follow this game more, for a game with no monthly fees, this is looking very impressive.

    GW1 was a great game with stunning visuals and a very depth skill system + subjob method. It was enjoyable both solo and group, actually.
    Only thing that made it good/bad was it didn't look like an MMORPG that much : all the instant teleport between cities and the instanced maps, there was no "world" around you except cities which were basically the game's hub.

    Thay already metioned GW2 will fix that feeling and given all the wonderful content they are already showing, this game feels like a GREAT title to look forward to in 2011

    This is how you should do a sequel to a game.

    not officially although when I looked at wiki there was talk of beta around end of the year and launch in spring 11. no idea if that's accurate. They did say they were holding back the beta since nowadays a lot of people use the beta as a demo for the game and expect it to be highly polished or something.

    The Shatterer was pretty cool. I do hope they work in good story and party play. The visuals look amazing and it sounds like the have great persistent world plans.

    Have they announced what carries over specifically from GW1? I've been trying to earn titles and I'm gonna try to start filling my Hall of Monuments with weapons and armor, but if its not worth all that trouble I won't worry about it so much.

    i don't know, i hope at least some of the armor does because i lurv my primeval warrior set, but i really don't think that the GW team has talked about it much since eotn was released

    I've had Primeval on my warrior for the longest time. I'm almost done with a Vabbian set so she looks less like a man, then I'm gonna work on my Necromancer and Paragon. It seems like whatever class I pick, I pick the gender with the dumber looking armor.

    I might work on getting Hero armor's too, as they show up in the Hall. I'm not sure what that'll do since I think they said there aren't heroes or henchmen in GW2.
