Apparently this will appeal to MMO lovers and non-lovers alike. And until Joe gets a preview write-up in, check out the video here: Story EDIT: bugger! I just watched this and got pretty pumped about it, needed to spread the love, I didn't realise someone already posted it ... yesterday mods feel free to delete this thread!
Guildwars (the original) was beyond awful in my opinion. I will reserve judgement from this though now I am not a WoW snob anymore. Looks interesting.
Moving MMO's is the problem though. You invest so much time and effort, it is a nightmare to start again.
I played the original to >700 hrs, but I don't think I'll pick up GW2. I don't have the motivation or time to play a proper MMO these days, and I was never very good at the first game anyway...
I'll probably do like I did with the first Guild Wars: buy it because it has no subscription fee and keep in the background for when I take a break from my main MMO... which will be Final Fantasy XIV for those interested.
I could never devote myself to constantly paying for an mmo so GW was brilliant for me when it came out, I still pay it with a few friends and its still enjoyable. ive not really focused much attention on GW2 but seing that video made me salivate.
i had original and did love it got bored eventually. But probally got more than my moneys worth from it.
I could never really get into the first game tbh, ill also prolly just go with SWTOR, altho im enjoying STO season 2 atm.
