I wasn't sure if this one had been posted before or not. It's new to me. The concepts sound interesting. Will be interested to see if they can pull all of this off. www.guildwars2.com/en/

I've been watching this for a while. It sounds like they will have a very solid game if their dynamic event system isn't a flop. I'm trusting that NCSoft will do a good job with it though. Their MMOs always have something different to offer than most games on the market. I'm sure they will build off the success of GW1 and make a quality game.
This is only of the only solid MMO titles I see coming out for a while. All the other interesting ones seem like a hit-or-miss.

This is #2 on my "hot for" MMO list. I am 100% purchasing this game on day one and believe they'll be delivering some revolutionary MMO concepts with it (dynamic events, like professer said). I can't wait to see this and plan to have a lot of fun with it (even if I only play for a month )

GW2 is #1 for me on my "hot" list and has been for several years. I still log in and play GW1 every couple weeks to keep in touch with my old guildys there.
The first thing people notice about GW1 is that it has a much different "feel" than any other fantasy MMO and GW2 looks to move even farther in this direction. Dynamic events are just the start... no dedicated healing class? Staying in combat in a diminished capacity after being defeated? Changing your server though an in-game pulldown menu?
These are all HUGE violations of the standard fantasy MMO formula... honestly, I am predicting some gamers will just not be ready for it (along with some of the reviewers) and will immediately head back to WoW or SW:ToR.
And yes, I said "head back to SW:ToR" because there is no way in hell GW2 beats SW:ToR to the shelves next year. Remember GW2's programmers include lots of old school ex-Blizzard folks who have the "When are you releasing <new game>? When it's DONE" mentality.

GW2 is definitely #1 on my list as well. Every time they post some news I do a little happy dance and grin like a fool while reading it.
I'm even starting to lose interest for SW:TOR ...

I'm even starting to lose interest for SW:TOR ... Blasphemy!!! No negative words about Star Wars allowed in the forums, infidel!!! Really, all I am counting on from MP in terms of GW2 is for a few people to get burned out on SW:ToR in time for GW2 release day, as they will probably be 6 months apart. Maybe some of them will even join my old GW1 guild like Grok did. I can dream, right

Wow that looks incredible. I was not too keen on the 1st one though. Just the feel of the character movement bugged me. But this looks like its worth checking out for sure. The big one im wating on now is WAR 40k MMO. Hopefully it will be much better than WAR online.

I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but after Aion, "Shiny + NCSoft" leaves me a little skeptical. That said, a development team that is purposely defying conventional habits deserves merit.

Wasn't Aion a Asian-port or something? I wouldn't judge the company based on that mess.

I have to admit that I'm a bit more impressed with what I'm seeing from this than anything I've seen from TOR so far.

also the major thing to consider when comparing GW2 against anything.....
free 2 play. There will be no reason that this is not in every gamers library. imo

Well, free to play in that there is not monthly sub. You still have to buy the box.
But I agree with you ;D
