Guild Wars 2 - Everything Guild Wars wasnt

I read up on the official Guild Wars Wiki about Guild Wars2. And well... it has everything Guild Wars 1 (if i may call it that) does not have.
It takes all the GOOD aspects of Guild Wars, puts ability of jump and jump over obstacles (Yay! This is alot more than just jumping... like now u can fall down a crater without having to walk all the way round) , the entire world is NOT instance - which means world PvP! WOOT, theres more races, 3 more I think... so a total of 4 races, 2vs2... and the ability to move in combat and not break auto attack (please correct me, as far as im concerned, im 90% sure about this... but I could be wrong) and i dont mean movement casting, cuz that sucks and brings imbalance ^^ i hope u get what i mean...
So. Who's really looking forward to GW2? Im definately going to buy GW2 ... along with either WAR or Aion or maybe Darkfall if it comes out, since GW2 is free.... why not?

wish you would have put a link in so I wouldnt have to look it up myself...but that sounds awesome
here you go http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2
Sounds pretty good, and addresses some of the main complaints I had about the game....
but how are they going to deal with the asshat community that GW has/had? I feel games w/o a monthly fee draw the lowest form of player to a game, ruining it for everyone...(not to say P2P games don't have jerks, but the levels are a bit lower.)

Yeah, this just solved all my complaints too. Other than the ONE about the community
But still, out of saay 4 million people who play, theres 1 million people like us. Non-Jerkish I guess, im gonna make up a guild in guildwars2 with an application a 12 year old cant even fill out
Anywho, the community will stay the same perhaps. But like I said, theres always a few black sheep out there! Its best joining up a guild you fit into.
Heh thanks for the link, I ended up looking at it after I posted...Kind of made me want to find my old guildwars disc and reinstall the game to see how its doing.
maybe they will do a little more to slap a monthly fee on the game, that might get rid of that community ya love
Look awesome so far. Finally Guild Wars 2 will be a true MMORPG with a seemsless world, not instanced like the original GW. The abilitie to jump is a nice addition, auction house (about time), more races, and no monthly fee ! I can't wait.
They've already implemented stuff to minimize spam, like the Search function and chat reacting to each other. They also monitor trade-related text and spamming this in the Local channel makes you eligible for an account block.
For the rest, well they develop games, they aren't here to make up for parental responsibility failures

Ever wondered what a hardcore WoW raider looked like?

I will have to agree that it seems good. It fixes some of the things that you could just hate with GW. I do however hope they don't just do a WoW ripoff but to try to keep using the the same concept as before. If they do it right and use the same concept as before it will be awesome.
When will GW2 be released?
I agree with Godliest..
I hope this isn't just a WoW rip off. It doesn't sound like it will be... but a lot of games seem to be going that way lol (And I'm not a WoW hater. I just want WoW to be WoW... and every other game to be unique as well. Why would I wanna play an inferior WoW rip off?)
Anyway... Add player housing and this could just be one of the best games ever lol

Cut and past to me where it says that gw2 isnt going to me portals? Becuase as to my knowlede it is still going to be. It's just if your make a pvp char your not. PLUS!!! the portals cut down lag time and save people the frustration of someone they needed say for a quest to kill to respawn five minutes later, the portals give GW2 a more ''real'' aspect. AND i prefer it to be that way. Plus the game being ported in all allows every one to play on one server, which makes for a better gaming experience.
Honestly the best thing about GW2 is the every changing enviroment and the new jump climb swim and what not.If you dont like the population stop complaining and go to a new game. It's free so it's not like it's going to hurt you. PLUS the P2P dosent help the population any. Hype does. WOW attracts more little kids and in my opinion wow has more asshats then any game. GW is just something diffrent it's a MMO but in it's own way. It's something new and it's keeping the other MMO creaters on their toes. GW broke ground for new gen MMO's everywhere and everyone knows thats a fact, just the mere fact that it's FREE.
Also, you can't really rely on a whole bunch of stuff like WOW has becuase GW came from nothing, the armor is dull and so are the characters for GW BUT with GW2 that will be changed. The only thing, in my eyes, that GW lacks is uniqness among players, which in my opinion is something alot of people look for. I think a character template is nice to have, kinda like what daoc did.
I completely beg to differ. GW has some of the best armor of any game in my opinion. Only better is Lineage 2.

To be perfectly honest... I'd be more then happy with all the problems you guys speak of in Guild Wars 1 as long as they had a damn Auction House.... Thats THE ONE thing that totally ruins the game for me... I'd rather not have to spam trade channels to sell my stuff... And especially if you wanna find something specific... not gonna happen
However, it hasn't been confirmed whether or not GW2 will have an auction House or not, especially as we're 18months to 2 years away from GW2 release anyway
oh lord how i've waited for a jump feature... as for that crap about little kids or jerks screwing up the game
it's great to know those jerks never get good and as long as they keep the current "ping your build" thingy... you can tell who to be careful of when forming a party
if u like guild wars now and dont like the guild wars 2 idea then dont play it, its simple, if u however like 2 better then 1 then play it, its up to u!
