Haven't played close attention to this game much. I have a few questions please;
- Max level cap in the game ?
- Is it truly open ended world like WoW, can wander off and go anywhere you please ? I did not like Guild Wars 1 with their "invisible" fences blocking off vast areas of the game, and no fucking space bar to jump in GW1 ? WTF
- Can you just solo play to level up and have fun ? or is group questing a must ? And is the leveling process story driven, and gear acquired through quest rewards ?
- I heard there are no mounts in Guild Wars 2 ? How do you get around the huge zones quickly ? Or lets say just want to get to middle of map, and not use a flight path, just a quick mount ?
Every game doesn't have to be like WoW. I loved GW just the way it was. I hated WoW. I'm quite happy GW wasn't anything like WoW.
I liked the first Guild Wars too when it came out, it was very different to me since I never really got into EQ and Lineage, etc. But I have to say that I had a ton more fun with WoW, and met a lot more people. The best thing about Guild Wars was the missions that you could do with a buddy or two, just felt very story driven (because it was) and made you feel important, whereas with WoW, you were a small part of a big thing, generally.
Well, I'm a little saddened that GW 2 is going to more like WoW than I had ever expected. I'm sure I'll still play GW 2, but I already feel a bit dissapointed at how much they've changed GW 2 compared to the original. I just don't care for most of the new changes honestly. I'm sure they're trying to steal WoW players though since its starting to die and people are looking for their next MMO to start.

The missions got turned into your personal story line.I wish they had the missions in GW2 still, that'd make me want to indefinitely buy it. As of right now, it's maybe a coin toss for me at best.

Sometimes we get feedback for which the amount of work required to fix it just isn’t worthwhile, but we’ll at least embrace and poke fun at it. For example, some of the crop sprinklers in the human lands are located in square crop fields, but the sprinklers only spray in a circular pattern. Ian Yonika, one of our insanely talented animators, pointed this out at one point. We were past the point where it was worth the amount of time it would take to change it, and it’s a pretty tiny detail, so rather than change the game, we added “Farmer Ian” to the game. If you talk to Farmer Ian, you’ll notice his conversation very closely resembles the post Ian left in our developer forums about why the sprinklers don’t make sense. Thanks, Ian!
How big is the beta? I'm sure I've got enough space left on my SSD @ 40 GBs but...you know. Paranoia. Heh.
devs will be talking on a stream about various issues, now i think or in a few minutes: http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2
Any official [H] guilds on launch? Otherwise, group of 4-7 of us will likely take up another bigger guild.
Got a free key from Alienware, whoo! Looking forward to trying this out this weekend.
Game must be monstrous in size, though. I'm at 15% and it's downloaded like 3 GB so far.
Hello, if I am in the EU and my friend is in the US can we still play together in this upcoming beta weekend? He has an US beta key and I have an EU beta key.

pretty sure it's a matter of choosing the same server. and they've said that beta keys are not region locked.
So how do you guys like the game so far? Is it fresh and enjoyable gameplay-wise? I have played SWTOR and got bored before I reached lvl 30. I have also played Lotro and the combat was pretty boring (even though I have tried really hard because I love the books). I have also played Age of Conan and I enjoyed the combat there but when I hit lvl 80 there was not much left to do except raid grind. I have never played WOW. So I am looking forward to GW2 but I am not too optimistic.
If you have played all those MMO's, and not WoW, you should give WoW a shot at least, Wait till the new expansion releases in the next couple of months, you will be pleasantly surprised, WoW is a fun game leveling up from 1 - 90. I quit last year, but when the game world is brand new to you, it is a cool game, sure the graphics are dated, but the atmosphere is really enticing.
