If we're talking RL anyway. I don't know of anyone from my guild playing either, but some may, being a PVP guild. Most didn't play GW1 though, so I have no idea if they'll jump into two. I know chat was pretty negative toward it back in January.

This is a cool story though. M ywife, who is a high school principal, was in a meeting last week. She leaned over and saw an assistant principle's ipad and saw the GW2 logo. After her meeting she mentioned it. The lady said, oh heck yeah, we have a dozen teachers where i work who are all going to be in a guild together. What was funny, is she said, please don't tell anyone, we can't let our students know we play games with them, My wife, in all her usual political posturing, said, well of course, my lips are sealed Then she comes home and tells me she was bursting inside to say something.

Hah, nice.
I can only imagine teachers trolling students for a bit of revenge hehe. My best friend's father is a teacher and it always amazed me when other kids would be over at his place and they'd learn, hey, the guy is just a normal human being! Crazy notion!
I work at a game studio so I'm sure many people here will give GW2 a shot at least, there are no plans to really play together. I tried doing that with SWTOR with my boss, his family etc. Unfortunately, I wasn't so into SWTOR so it was like..
"D... where were you? You were expected in the meeting" and I'd be like which meeting? Of course, my boss meant online to tackle some flashpoint
They're still happily playing...
Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

About 6 people I know have had their fair share of playing MMORPGs. About 8 people I know are active gamers. About 10 people I know plan on playing GW2.

That actually was a cool story, bro.
Awesome.
That guild HAS to be called "Another Brick in the Wall" or "We dont need no education" or something similar
Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom
Negative 7 people who play MMO's and negative 4 more who play other games will be playing. Also, and I do consider him a friend, Jesus will be doing Judgement Day this year, so he can come back and play.
NOT including people who already owned Gw1 and worked on their HOM....
..30 other people..
That's an awful lot of FPS gamers who generally never liked most MMO's. I'm still not sure they chose this particular Sequel to branch into another genre, but it'll be fun have something new to play with them finally instead of the 300th play session of DE_dust or PL_Goldrush...

"No pudding if you don't eat your meat!"
LOL, I'll pass along the suggestions. Trying to keep the face straight.
Although a guild named "Stand Still Laddy" would be epic.

Now, I love me some Floyd, but have to go another way with this one.
"Hot for Teacher"
Also, to answer the OP's question, just me and my girlfriend. But it will be nice to have a game to play together again.
No joke, everyone I know is planning to play GW2. However, I doubt all of them will stick with it. A few of my friends are sorta bandwagony, they jump into the new thing but inevitably end up back in WoW/EQ. I only anticipate the handful of us that played GW2, plus a few, to stick with it long-term.
"Forums aren't for intelligent discussion; they're for blow-hards with unwavering opinions."
Most of my buddies that play computer games have said that they will buy it or already pre purchased it. Only exception is Taket who only play Blizzard game (even if he did play a little Skyrim a while ago).
But buying a game and actually playing it a long time are 2 different things so we have to wait and see. Still, initial sales will be huge.
Not all of my friends game though, and some only play pen and paper.
The consensus among my gaming group is that we are done with dragons and wizards for a while. Most of them are sticking with Fallen Earth or waiting for Dominus, Repop, and TSW
I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.
My brother is. My other friends are sticking with TOR (and some still play WoW), which they said is their last stop MMO-wise (unfortunately for me). I haven't pre-purchased yet because I'm still on the fence about buying GW2 (though I do still play the original GW from time to time).
If I do buy it, I'll probably just play solo for a while until I feel mentally up to the challenge of finding a new guild.
I have 4 gamer friends and they've all prepurchased it.

I've bought it and I know one other online gaming friend. Outside of this website (and maybe other MMO sites), I don't think many people are aware of it coming out.
Comments
me and a few of my guildies from vanilla + TBC before it became CRAP.
I can't think of any of my real world mmorpg game players who isn't going to play gw2.
Edit: Not saying they are playing because it will be the greatest game ever. IMO, they are going because it will be fresh.

BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

"I'll lead, you follow."
Pretty much my old GW alliance is planning to do so. Already have a standing invite from them to join their new guild when the game starts.
Awesome.

One of my freinds is buying it at release. I may pick it up later on depending on how it pans out over its first six months.

My youngest son plans on playing GW2. That's 1 out of 6 gamers in my extended family that plans on playing the game.
Like 8 or so.
My bro, a few friends from a long way back when we used to play WoW and a few friends I made while playing some Rift (cancelled after 2 months).
