I loved the trailer, made me 100 times more excited for the game. I hope it is just as unique as the first GW and that the devs weren't too influenced by popular MMOs like WoW or all the after-WoW clones.
The environements look absolutely stunning. Just like in first GW it looks like a painting broguht to life. Some serious talent working at Arenanet. The only issue that I have is the character design which is waaaaaaay to anime-ish. That warrior looked, and no dissrespect to the homosexuals, gay. Bring back the warriors from first GW!!!

It should at least knock Final Fantasy XIV and all the false hyping going on off the hype list. That's a real Asian grinder right there. Seems as if they are already grinding hype for that game. SWTOR comes back up to the top, later that day you see a bunch of one post wonders coming in and hyping FF back up. The Hype for SWTOR is real, the hype for FF not so much.
Well, that's the problem with the Hype/rating meter; nothing is stopping the crazed fanatics of any game from rating it ten over and over and over. The hype and ratings here have never actually meant anything, which is a shame. That said, I am sure Hype for GW2 will skyrocket to the top, at least for a little while.

Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."

A lot of pessimistic people here. Looks a little bit too colorfull .. yes. The warrior looks like gay, but i think the face and the haircut is the problem, which can be changed. The graphics - the best i've seen till now, looks really like inside the game in the second part. But .. i don't think it'll be a grinder. No mounts unfortunatelly as they are cool part really. I hope there is no high heels for female characters and such rabbish.
The graphics are stunning, better than Aion i think, now the important thing is the gameplay. If the gameplay is good this will be a blast. I admit i like wow, but some parts of it is annoying. So .. there is a hope for a real nice game to play. I wish them success and waiting.
Its ok to nitpick but since the trailer released everyone and their cousin who is writing about it and including the fans is loving the trailer. People already are salvating to play .

Totally agree. I got that inital GW excitement feeling when played for the very time time again. Really enjoyed the story and think this will best it.
That was a beautifully done trailer. I loved the transition from animated artwork to ingame scenes. And the music! I will absolutely be getting this game.
Here is a list of the Non-Human races you can choose to play. They seem to answer alot of questions on the FAQs on their website you guys are all asking.
•Charr - Ascalon's conquerors, the charr are ferocious, warmongering creatures--the intractable foes of humanity. Now, as greater dangers threaten their conquests, charr legions and their war machines prepare for battle.
•Norn - The norn are towering brawlers from the frigid northern lands who can shape-shift into mighty bestial forms. Driven from their homeland by a force beyond reckoning, the norn have regrouped among the dwarven ruins of the Shiverpeaks.
•Asura - The asura, who once ruled the caverns and tunnels below Tyria, are an advanced race of small size and great intellect. Now that they have risen from below, the asura aim to rule the surface world with their powerful golems and ingenious plans.
•Sylvari - Not much is known of the sylvari, save that they are a race of sentient plant-beings, newly blossomed into the world. The sylvari are the youngest of the races, bound together by a common dream and awesome power.
You know.. I guess we can expect some nice character creation so if you want ugly bold warrior (gw1 style.. =P) or white skinned asura then you should be able to make one. Norns.. well male norns definitely look different from humans. =P

Time to whine a little more about the trailer ^^
because:
Human: Not as stylish as GW1. Looks like a anime-fantasy-noob in shiny armor on his way to save a princess or something. Gay.
Charr: Charr still rule.
Norn: Norn still look like... well, humans. Just aren't distinct in any way. Norn really need to be reworked.
Asura: Used to be white and fluffy, now they look like ugly gnomes. Fail.
Sylvari: Ok i guess.
Hype train -> Reality
You know.. I guess we can expect some nice character creation so if you want ugly bold warrior (gw1 style.. =P) or white skinned asura then you should be able to make one. Norns.. well male norns definitely look different from humans. =P
