Longtime fan of DAoC as well. There was always a hope that DAoC2 would be made, and while this isn't it, it sure does have solid elements with WvWvW. The way GW2 has updated and expanded the whole seige warfare idea was what finally sold me on getting this game at launch or not. I will even pre-order this one (gasp).
FINALLY, there is (for me) a MMO out there that isn't just one of many poorly thought out clones. I can't frickin' wait.
i know that .gif is being touted as a beta leak but it was from the developer tournament at PAX 2011. it was first uploaded as "beta leak" the day after PAX.

I know, just pointing out the laughing potential =P

In addition all of this, will there be AA or RP's (WP's?) of any sort. I think EQ2 (and EQ) has a great Alternate Advancement system as a way to really customize your character's abilities. DAoC did Realm Points, which was an advancement system where you gained points by killing players from other realms. Perhaps GW2 could do World Points (or whatever you want to call it) in the same way to really encourage players to get out there and participate in seige battles and WvWvW competition.
500 players doing PVP in one zone? did i just read it right? wow... thats one tall claim, i hope they deliver because AOC, WAR made similar claims and we know what happened.

Still not sure about any Alternate Advancement system. The Traits system can possibly fill that role, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Just check into the GW2 forums this week for any info on Traits and of course WvW beta footage.
Now with a hammer attack like that I could laugh a lot in WvWvW
Yeah, it would be funny to somehow scale an enemies walls and knock off someone who is bombarding your side. Or even a Thief can use Scorpian Wire and pull guys down.
This sounds unbelievably, and I mean unbelievably sexy in theory. Srsly. All I gotta say is, if this turns out to be what it says, I feel sorry for my girlfriend whom I'm about to pop the question to over the next few months. She'll never see me.
That being said, we've seen one game that generated an insane amount of hype and failed to deliver. (TOR, I'm looking at you!)
if nothing else, it's refreshing to see an MMO innovate and think.
This is what I'm reminded of. The GW2 developers are Nick Naylor:

This could be great, hope it will work like a charm in reality.
I'm just hoping that the WvW isn't laggy as fuck like FFXI Besieged was. lol
Hopefully it works as inteded, If it does....
