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.

I played wow from end of vanilla until now although i have played much less since end of burning crusade.. i only log on to do arenas now which is still fun for me... but the rest of wow has gone a bit stale...
its a heck of a lot better game from vanilla..the amount of features they've added is great..but at the end of the day its a very old game..i think its like 7 or 8 years old?? time for some fresh ideas instead of improving and refining old ones. The next expansion is kinda stupid...pandas..so yeah im drawing the line there and stopping wow. My guild has all but disbanded anyway, most have moved on to that star wars mmo.

gw2 sounds interesting, especially the part about not having to grind and invest 24 hours a day to be a good player. hope my computer can run it will definitely give it a go

but for now..im holding my breath for diablo 3!!!!!

I am planning on getting GW2... just a hot tip, buy it as a digital download from the US or something..

I was just in EB games and they had it for pre-order $99 standard edition, and you can get direct from

https://buy.guildwars2.com/ for $59. or $79 for digital deluxe edition...

I was pumped for Diablo 3, until reading they have basically catered to the casual gamer and removed any control players have over character development...

if you want a bit more of a challenge, play hardcore mode LOL

But yeah looks like I'll be playing both games as well. might need a new computer to play GW2 though.

Going to be making a thief in GW2, since I've been a rogue since WoW vanilla. motto is "rogues do it from behind"

Ohh man I use to remember blue gear from BRS and LBRS was the bomb.. and if you had a Krol's blade (purple onehand sword), you were a celebrity LOL.
