    Been playing in pretty much every Beta and we are migrating our alliance as one big guild into 2 so we can stay together, lol. Already have a lot of ground done so our guild can look after the members properly, lol. Played Guild Wars for 6 years and so looking forward to the new game, We will get to play Sylvari and Asuran Finally in the upcoming Beta.

    Got a beta key by updating my nvidea drivers and there was an advert for it. Had no idea any would still be about.

    sylvari look cool as heck

    I have been really bothered by the idea that there are no solid healer class. That is my favorite thing to do! I'll just have to adapt.

    How is this different from the first Guild Wars? I didn't much care for it when it first came out.

    Where do I begin with how it's different, probably should go to You tube, watch a few videos go to the GW2 website, investigate the races, and of course talk to some of the players but the videos will be a good starting point. I have played GW for 6 years, beta'd a bunch of other mmo's and GW2 is nothing like any of them, the map is about it for true resemblance, combat, healing, crafting, armor, etc, etc, etc. All different from one.

    I caved and bought a copy, greenmangaming.com screwed up and gave me $52 credit back on a cancelled $36 pre-order of Hitman Absolution, so I used $48 of it to pick up Guild Wars 2.

    I'm not super excited about it like a lot of people, but I am interested. My 12 year old has been playing the original Guild Wars since he was 5, and I bought him the $150 Collector's Edition. He's super stoked to get it next week.

    I have had it pre-ordered for a while now and am really excited to get it! Sadly I was never able to get onto any of the betas to test it out either due to work or it being bogged down from so many people online. I have heard a lot of great things so I am sure it will be awesome!

    Just received my Collector's Edition! :love: :love: :love:
    Listening to the soundtrack right now (Fear Not This Night - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlBvKzc8Odo). Cool music.
    The massive Rytlock statue looks awesome!

    I am really hoping I have money leftover this weekend after bills (rent, electric and car payment, gah!) to possibly pick this up. I plan on watching my friend play to check it out first.

    Right now I am sinking a lot of time into Borderlands, mmm

    Very cool statue!

    My husband refuses to play. Bummer. Not much use me playing without him. I did that with Runes of Magic, and it just wasn't any fun. More like work because I was so paranoid about letting my team of strangers down.

    Looking forward to my Norn Mesmer now. Why? Because hulking viking-esque men casting spells of pink dust and rainbows is cool. That's why.

    Did some stress testing and after looking at the abilities, I think I'll need to get a greatsword asap.

    I had pretty much given up on MMOs as I haven't played one I've enjoyed in years... but my husband bought GW2 the other day and I decided to give it a try on his account and... it's so much fun! I'm pleasantly surprised. It's so refreshing to play while still feeling familiar. Gonna cut this short so I can go play it. :D I'm on Tarnished Coast.
  • Bought this yesterday. Hadn't intended to, but it was pretty cheap and I'm bored with my current MMO.

    Played it for only minutes this morning (ended up late for work) but it seemed great. I'm on Whisteside Ridge... I think.

    I had to disable my Firewall (Win 7) to get it working. I'm going to try and fix that.

    Spent my first 3-4 hours in the game last night, it's pretty great. The overflow server mechanic is genius, and makes WoW look a little stupid for not having it.

    Can't wait to jump back in tonight and hopefully a lot of this weekend :).

    Mesmer broke my heart. You can make these fun clones but they're really only good for shattering purposes. I'm much preferring guardian.

    OK... was not going to buy this since I work so much and have classes this fall, but I got to Gamestop literally 1 minute before closing, illegally parked and ran inside to buy it last minute.

    I spent like 4 hours playing last night, just exploring and having a blast. I watched maybe 3 or 4 gameplay videos and know NOTHING about the game. It's so nice to start fresh.

    I am on Darkhaven if anyone else is, name is Sphyxy. I went Sylvari Elementalist.

    I have been playing this all through the betas and what not. I though my main would be a Sylvari Elementalist, but I am LOVING my Asuran Necro! My main alt is a Human Warrior! I am shocked honestly with my choices, but it is awesome. I am on Hedge and my main's name is Kiera Sadiablo.

    I have to say that this is the best MMO I've ever played, by far.

    There's just so much to do! Nothing is boring! I don't care if I can't log in for a day or two because I don't feel like I'm falling behind.

    ArenaNet has created a masterpiece that I can see myself playing for years and years. Blizzard, you're on notice!

    PS: I'm on Blackgate playing a warrior called Newbolicious.
  • I'm shattered this morning, after playing it until 2am last night...

    Tried various chars including an asuran engineer (those guys are nuts!) called Ug Ly, a Charr warrior called Leopidus, Sylvari? necro and a human mesmer (soon to be replaced by a human elementalist I think). Favourites are in the order I typed them I think...though the necro is a close second.

    Its great that I have no clue what I am doing or where anything is and that there are loads of people doing it with me :)
  • Looks like I am switching servers as the one I'm on is getting filled with Italians. Need an EU server and currently thinking "Gunnar's Hold". Any views?
