PC Guild Wars 2

[Hawk88]

Anyone else looking forward to this, I think this will be a great game and hopefully alot better then SWTOR.

I am looking at pre ordering this game, usually get the retail desk rather then download, but with the game being released 3 days early for preorders may need to download via the Internet.

If I preorder, eg from JBHIFI, can I still get the early access??

I really really wanted to like Guild Wars 1, but for whatever reason I never got into it. Think I got up to level 11 and stopped. I will no doubt give this one a shot though, it is my type of game and I have no doubt it'll be high quality. Whether or not it can retain my attention remains to be seen.

I should aviod MMORPG's. Got hooked on SWTOR and then had a freak out about spending too much time on it, broke the discs, uninstalled and unsubscribed.

 

[Barnzy]

I'll give it a go. Looks impressive and no subscription fee is a big plus. Who knows if I'll keep playing it after the first few weeks though.

Anyone starting a guild or something prelaunch? Only a few days before early access.

You have to Pre purchase the digital version to get the 3 day head start.

 

[Mesc]

2 days people. Not long now. If you pre-purchased that is.

 

[Wickzki]

I'm a winner. Do I get a prize?

What is going to be the "Aussie" server mate? Any idea?

Whirlpool says: Unofficial Oceanic server has been chosen as Isle of Jan'thir, Gates of Madness, and Sea of Sorrows

It will be interesting to see how many copies sell, with no subscription and just one original outlay on the game, it should pull more than Swtor originally did at launched with just 1.7 million subs.

Most MMO's have a very sharp decrease after the first week

Big spike for the fans/ MMO lovers and then it just stops

Guildwars 2 will have a decent fan base though due to the first one, so will pull some solid numbers as you stated

The statue from the collectors is MASSIVE. They've done it really well, fans who got one will be happy

 

[Mesc]

It's now up and running

 

[kangle4]

Is Sea of Sorrows the go for Aussies?

[kangle4]

Has the congestion cleared up on it, was full a few hours ago.

 

[kangle4]

I'm on aswell.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Everythings down.

 

[Mesc]

yep. its broken

 

[Makedonija]

Any first impressions guys? I might head over to jb or something and pick this up tomorrow after uni.

 

[kangle4]

I never played the first one and when I started this I was pretty overwhelmed by how much is going on. A few hours later I had the hang of it though but still learning all the time.

 

[ArdentRoo]

Anvil Rock here in an aussie guild so i think we scattered all over See ya in WvWvW!! When Majak kills you you'll know it was me

P.S Don't kill me please lmao

For those who have wasted away many hours across multiple MMO's, how does this stack up? It looks beautiful for an MMO and sounds interesting with its take on questing. Supposedly lacks end game content, but this was just on beta so no doubt that will change, kind of a good thing anyway as that is the real time sink.
