if you say it out loud fast enough...you're pretty awesome!
I posted something on reddit regarding the community subscriber numbers on /r/GuildWars2 vs /r/SWTOR, and a guy replied to another comment I made regarding pvp. His response gave me a hard-on:

I didn't get a chance to try out PvP, but nothing yet has compared to my experiences from DAoC. What has me excited is that a good friend of mine who feels the same way spoke very highly of his time in the WvW this past weekend. crosses fingers

Your friend isn't kidding. This is about as close as it gets. Much faster paced combat, but definitely feels like a modern take on what daoc did so well. Sieging is awesome, defending is awesome, having a force from the third server show up and completely change yours or your enemies plans is awesome...
As an example, I was with a small group of players defending a keep, we were being attacked by the red server and things looked grim, completely out numbered and they began building a trebuchet off in the distance. Those things have serious range as you'd expect and the smoke trail the flaming boulder leaves behind looks amazing. Anyway, they started firing at our gate and those things do serious damage. Suddenly it stops. I'm playing a thief so I'm using duel pistols when i can, or just running in and out of the keep, quickly stabbing then ducking back inside to recover. When I look to see what is going on with the trebuchet I notice it has vanished, then I realise they are fighting among themselves. A small force from the blue server had swept in and starting winning against the massive red force, we waited inside a little longer in the keep then mopped up what was left of both forces. Epic. If you liked this sort of thing in daoc you are going to love gw2.
