So, the debut trailer has been released for this. Having never played the first one, i cant say much about it, but this trailer looks very nice. Graphically its fantastic, and the art design is pretty damn cool.

Guild Wars is great, I'm pretty much right at the start of it though but I'm enjoying what little of it I can fit in. I think Guild Wars stands out due to it's art direction and style, and Guild Wars 2 looks to build upon that. I can't get over how good all the new MMO's look. I think that the story sounds a bit weird though - ancient dragons that live under the sea only to rise up against everyone? They sure as hell look awesome though.

Guild Wars 2 is confirmed subscription free as well so happy days.

Guild wars was my first mmo so it has a place in my heart.

Was really addicted to the game for a year or so.
The PvP was great, arena styled and not about lvls or gear just player skill and the skills you chose and teamwork. The PvE was good too and there was an actual story to follow.

The fact it was a one time payment and no monthly fee was pretty great as you didnt feel pressure to play and could take a break whenever. I sure got my moneys worth.

Oh my, from the trailer it's going to be exactly what the majority of the community is hoping for.

I can resonate with this, played it heavily for a good 2 years - I think my main character has something like 10'000 hours. I quit about a year ago though, the trailer has made me want to take a look back though.

Not a great idea releasing info about this around the same time Blizzard reveal details on their new expansion, as most of the WoW fanboi's will instantly dismiss it...

but holy crap this looks amazing.

I always loved guild wars, for what it did for pvp. My only issues were that it seemed too flimsy and superficial. Guild Wars 2 looks like a more robust MMO and if it keeps the core ideas from Guild Wars then it should go a long way, at least in my book.
Cant wait.

10,000/24 - 416.6 days! out of 730! gtfo

I'm watchin this one pretty closely, already ordered Aion before i saw the trailer for this and the games look uncomfortably similar, NCsoft might regret releasing a free to play MMO so soon after their "revolutionary" pay-monthly MMO

I played it heavily for 2 years, however in total I played for just over 3. So in actual fact it was 416 days out of about 1'200 days, that sounds so much better now doesn't it.... *cough*

I'm wondering about it... by the time it comes out I will be married... if I have free time (LOL! prolly not due to having animalistic sex )
mgiht try it with the missus and a few friends..

There's a new GW2 video out, introducing the races and their styles. Hopefully, by the time it comes out, I'll be able to afford a new PC and have the time for that ...

Roll on the Asura! Technomancy!
Also, anyone who's played and the Eye of the North expansion Spoiler: the ending cinematic sets up a lot of hints as to what happens in GW2, so it may be worth finishing! <Not a storyline spoiler but..

It was already announced as in production about a yar and a half back. Just happened to be the first official trailers.

I stil play Guild Wars these days, have it almost 3 years with breaks in between. Still love farming, cant wait for 2 .

Oh my god, i loved Guild Wars, definitely my favourite MMO after SWG.

The races trailer left me very confused. Tyria is a different world yes? But wasnt a region called Kryta in the first one? Also Charr are a race from the first one no? (but oh my god theyre playable so happy)

I cant wait for GW2. But some bad points, the art style is lacking. Ok i dont see how they could surpass the first games art, but it was the heavy asian influence to the fantasy world that set it apart.
This is just looking ah a little generic apart from the huge headed little people.

I really hope they leave the pvp format well alone HOH and the guild battles are the best mmo pvp ever imo. I really enjoyed the casual PVE in the first game too, it was fun and it got me all the skills i needed to pvp so there was reward in it without hours and hours of grinding .

Edit: ah its the same world just 250 years forward.

Here's a video about the in-game voices, showing the artists behind them. They're scoring quite a bit of geek cred by getting Felicia Day (Dollhouse, The Guild, Dr. Horrible) to do the main Asura character.

I tested the origional and while I liked it my friends didnt so I never got too into it afetr release, this looks even better though.
