I played WoW (vanilla) and Warhammer Online...

But I havent played anything for a while now cos I'm waiting on Diablo 3, which is out soon I think.. 15th May.

Never played Guild Wars before but if what you say is true, it might be a good game to try for the casual gamer like me.

I played Wow from Vanilla - 5 years later, roughly... got to level 84.95 on a few characters and got really bored and quit even before getting the max level.

I'm really waiting for Diablo3, i have my collectors edition preordered and i'll be picking it up the morning of the 15th and playing it for 3 days straight.. :)

havent looked at guild wars at all, don't think i'm ready for another subscriber based mmo.

Guild Wars 2 isn't subscription based.

You pay for the box, and it's free to play for the rest of it's life! Amazing!

Well there's plenty of time to convince her. It's in beta. They have a beta weekend every month. Launch in maybe July or August.

But it's pretty darn amazing. Have a look at the link I posted up before.

The removal of the holy trinity in MMO's is a big deal.

No more tanks, healers and dps.

Everyone plays whatever role they want, damage, support, ranged. All classes can switch between the roles depending on what weapons you have equipped.

It plays like a first person shooter, you need to dodge in and out of the opponents attacks and pick the right time to go in and stabby stabby (if you're melee). You can't just stand there and smack each other like traditional MMO's, cause you'll be killed.

If you like exploring, there are hidden dungeons and stuff everywhere that's not marked on the map, so it rewards those people. Quests are dynamic, so no more Fedex questing. Go somewhere and there's something to do.

PvP was crazy. A massive map (think 3 x the size of barrens) that 1000+ people can fight over. It's server vs server vs server, so it's pretty large scale.

Better than Tera =)

The Lead Developers of Guild Wars are the guys who developed Vanilla WOW, when it was actually good.

I haven't been this excited about an MMO since WOW Beta.

In the sense.. that you can't stand still and cast your spells expecting to be ok.

Constant movement.. like a real fight.

Otherwise it looks like all MMO's.
