Hmm, guess I should get EoTN so I can get the GW2 hero rewards.
Looks nice, hope it is as solo-small party friendly as the originals.

The video itself has the annoying stutter pauses, right?

Very impressive. Time for a PC upgrade next year I reckon :)

No stutter here BTW... must be your connection.

That's an epic trailer. It presents a much fuller and more complete game world than I expected!

Looks environmentally gorgeous.

Just hope you're not stuck in the same small area for the first half of the levelling process like you were in the original GW.

PS: No stutter here on the 720p stream.

nice looking locations, but not sure about some of the character designs. Looks like different from the first one in terms of style, looks more korean influenced now.

GW is one of my favourite games and this just looks stunning. I love the music, the art, everything. Excited is an understatement.

Environments were truly stunning. Seems like a big improvement from the first game overall. Though, I'd say this game's main competitor will be Diablo III, and I certainly can't see Guild Wars 2 winning that competition.

WHen the first one came out was amazingly gorgeous back in the days.... I hope this one is way better in PvP and I'll love it if they skip the basic bad implimentations of the original THIS will be my MMO cause I've been looking for something but all MMOs currently I gave up on them dissapointed...

Lets all hope this one turns out golden ;)

Do want!
Also, why does no MMO give us the race choice of Centaurs?

Admittedly I'm looking forward to Diablo 3 more then I am GW2, but I think from a gamers perspective the competition between the 2 is irrelevant. Both these games are going to be absolutely fantastic and as a Gamer I can say I'm chuffed to bits :D

O-ho, those environs really rock! Quite original and distinct from each other. Bodes well for the gaming experience I think.

I played GW till my fingers bled and I was right there at GamesCom when they showed it.
Goosebumps, lump in my troath, tears in my eyes.

I can't wait.

If this turns out to be open-world, a la EQ and WoW colour me very, very interested. Been a while since an up and coming MMORPG has captured my interest so much.

I hate instanced games with a passion and whilst I live with limited instancing, constant instancing like in Guild Wars was a real turn off.
