    Just curious as to who is going to play it. With the multi-guild function it would be pretty nice to get folks on the same server for the World vs World vs World pvp.

    I will be! I cannot wait for GW 2. I logged in well over 1000 hours in the original GW and loved everything about it. Then I got a mac laptop and it just rain miserably on bootcamp. Getting a new Windows PC and will be getting this when it comes out. Any word on the release date?

    "When it's done". Is the official line. Considering they have promised 3 beta weekend events and it's been over a month since the last one. I'd say a while. Maybe Sept at the earliest.

    Ironically I wasn't a fan of the original guild wars. Tried checking it out recently and the graphics have aged terribly that I couldn't really take it seriously.

    Heh- I remember getting it on release day. I loved the PvP aspects, the many different kinds kept it fresh. I also like how you could play the game with other people or alone. A great balance IMO. I think you'll enjoy the game if it is anything like the original.

    Very excited for this. Can't stand MMORPG's, but Guild Wars is different. I like the heavier approach on PVP, and less grinding than most other MMOs.

    I'm praying this will run on a new 13 inch macbook pro with windows installed on it. I need a new laptop for school but want to be able to play this when it comes out.

    Oh man Guild Wars 2 is a blast. Played a couple hours of WvWvW. We managed to take over the entire map. Was hella fun.

    It was fun but there is obviously still quite a bit of work to do. WvWvW still has a LOT of polishing to be done. Same with sPvP. They are still making wholesale changes on the fly when it comes to traits etc. So I doubt we will see it live until November or so.

    Update!!!

    For those of you experiencing login issues to GW2 (like me), Arena Net is aware of the problem and have posted this Youtube video:

    Gah. I am so tempted to pick this up this week. I hope it will run on a laptop with a 2nd gen i5 processor and integrated graphics. I really should wait until October to get it but it is just SO TEMPTING.

    I don't doubt it. I played the other one thousands of hours haha. I just need to focus on preparing for the LSAT until the beginning of october. Hoping I can hold out until then, and then reward myself with GW2.

    How is the PvP?

    I haven't got that far yet. I work and can't junk out on it yet. From what I hear that's the main focus and apparently awesome.

    Yup having a blast. Put in 30 hours on the weekend. We got matched vs the powerhouse Shiverpeaks...that was brutal. However when i left for work our next match was vs Rall and someone else and we were roughly 4k out in front.

    I joined the 1200 member Synergy Alliance on Crystal Desert. It's an odd but loyal community. The Aussie's/Brazillians/North Americans with us in Synergy. Then it's also got a couple large Reddit guilds and it's the unofficial LGBT server.

    Didn't realize you have to choose servers in the new one. Is it per character or account?

    Keg Brawl is my favorite so far. So much fun! The first time I came across it, while I was just exploring Hoelbrak, I was like "hmmm... what's this? Should I try it? Meh, why not!" The next 4 hours of my day were lost... I couldn't stop myself from playing.

    I am a casual gamer, I don't have a whole lot of time to play. Just to give you an idea: I have 5 characters (alt aholic; always have been) at levels 17(Warrior), 16(Thief), 14(Ranger), 12(Mesmer) and 8(Elementalist). And I have played since launch. :lol:

    Dang I just got it last Thursday and I am up to lvl 26 right now (ele). This game is like crack, but I'm not sure I like it better than the original quite yet. Still a ton of fun... love how they added in the vistas and what not. I'm addicted to 100% map completion.

    Haven't updated this in a while. In November I moved to Sea of Sorrows and joined The Industry [Work] Guild. We moved SoS to be the #1 WvW server for quite a while now...Yay us!

    I now have an 80 Ranger, 80 Thief and 80 Warrior and still got that 30 Guardian sitting there.

    Still having a blast. Will probably play this till Elder Scrolls Online.

    I gave up on GW2 since I'm really not a pvper & prefer PVE more.. Looking for a group to do instances was a pain. If they had a dungeon finder like WoW's, I would of stayed. Gotta love being able to do dailys while waiting for an instance group & not being stuck in LA while trying to find said group.

    Plus. I went back to WoW cus all of my guildmates from WoW that played GW2 went back to WoW.

    To each their own

    People either joined large PvE guilds for that or used http://gw2lfg.com/ which worked very well. Would have to cut off my nuts for me to go back to WoW ;p

    I play this game on a regular basis too on the Maguuma server. It is quite fun- but still doesn't hold a candle to the original GW in my opinion.

    True, i did join a large pve guild but they ended up all going to PlanetSide 2 or to different guilds. Website did wonders but WoW was less work for me, LOL. Since the game is F2P, I can always comeback down the road when I'm bored with WoW.
