    The game is subscription-free until SquareEnix decides it has been improved to a point where people won't leave in droves when they demand money for it. So far they have not announced a date when that is, but the speculation goes it might stay free until the PS3 version launches. Which, again, has not been announced yet.

    All you need to pay for is the initial box, which I got for 12€ at amazon a few weeks ago. You'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth that much to you.

     

    On topic: I just bought the original GW trilogy to catch up on the story, might get EotN later. In between I go for some rounds in DCUO.  With very little playtime available, that might almost be enough until the release of GW2.

    Well damn.... that's just fun to watch.... And I go to the gym 3 times a week with weights and cardio. There's room for being healthy and gaming.

     FFXIV  Hiromichi tanaka leaves, Game will be free until its's Good Enough

    its not realy going to be free, its a trial that last longer lol

    its been 4 month that the game has been free. they are losing player eachday.  

    http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010-12-10/ffxivs_hiromichi_tanaka_leaves_game_will_be_free_until_its_good_enough.shtml

    lol! free trial until the game satisfies players xD!!! whats that even mean! I'm gonna have to DL this and play it now and never be satisfied >:) Thanks for the info.

     

    But to the main point, I've been looking for a good filler until GW2 is released too and I've pretty much found absolutely nothing worthy :(! Sad times these are

    Most people go through life pretending to be a boss. I go through life pretending I'm not.

    I'm on a break from MMOs: It should make me enjoy GW2 that much more I reckon, but it's actually a case of nothing standing out enough to try/stick to. I'm hoping B* on iOS/Android comes out in June and keeps me happy for a while and FROM DUST should come out about the same time too. image

    I tried Minecraft but the 1st person view gives me motion sickness and LoL did not work out either: Boring clicking. I should try Team Fortress 2. If GW2 fails then I'll try EvE and if that fails...

    Really you are doing yourself an injustice if you don't buy The Witcher 2 in may. If you have not already then you should buy The Witcher Enhanced Edition on steam for £6,it's one hell of a game.

    Playing the first tw1 will warm you up for the epic tw2 in may.

    Since the first was trite console crud, the only injustice would be in subjecting one's self to more of the same in a sequel.  At least Skyrim has a pedigree of some merit.

    I'm not sure if your confused or not, but the Witcher never was on consoles. The pedigree of Skyrim that you brag about is the one that was a console port. The Witcher is a great RPG if your interested in a good story and fast paced combat.

    ON TOPIC: I've been playing the WAR trial. I'm waiting for Brink to come out. If your into TF2 then check it out.

I was just curious on what you all are playing until GW2 comes knockn' I am kind of playing LOTRO but i cant get realy into it because of the quests that are overwhelming in alot of areas.

    Idk if this is the right place to post this i am new and just trying to get some insight it has some to do with GW2 since its a filler until then haha

    Playing a bit of Crime Craft lately but mostly just playing other games.

    I was looking forward to SWTOR but the more I see of it the less Interested I become. The 40k MMO could be a big time sink for me provided they get it right. Until then I Imagine Brink and BF3, Crime Craft and EA Sports MMA will take up the small ammount of time I have for gaming.

    I myself spend some time in GW1, some time in single player games and some time on boardgames and other non computer games while I wait.

    It is atually pretty nice to take a break from MMOs, and it will get great to really go into games this autumn again.

    I mistook the crappy controls for just another lousy console port, but you're right, it wasn't.  It was just a crappy PC implementation.  I actually had to look that up.  But as far as pedigrees go:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_history_of_The_Elder_Scrolls_series

    Ironically, I don't count myself as a fan of Skyrim and I haven't been looking forward to it.  I haven't seen anything that really grabs my attention and strikes me as impressive enough to make me hold my breath.  But it is part of a series that been around for a good 10 to 15 years, so at least it has that going for it.  Witcher though, the only memorable part of it for me was how quickly I uninstalled it.

     There was actually a sudden feeling of relief when I realized I wasn't subscribed to any mmorpg.  Actually finished Mass Effect 1 and 2 that had been sitting in my computer for months.

    I respectfully disagree, I loved every minute out of Witcher and I expect the second part to be even better, controls and, ui and combat in general were certainly nothing sort of amazing, especially on the enhanced edition.

    @OP Buy the witcher and get the witcher 2 when its out

    Crysis 2, League of Legends, and Starcraft 2. A bit of GW1 dashed here and there, but I am to a point where a week would put me over 30 HoM points... the problem I am having is getting motivated to do what needs to be done (Hard Mode Grind, Vanquishing, and Cartographer)

    I play LoL, Savage 2, GW, and some FATE. Also just downloading games, uninstalling games, trying to find one i can stick too. If there will ever be one(except for when ever GW2 comes out).

    sorry i just am lazy to do some research right now

     

    but other than the pet that you will get from completing some achievements from the HoM from GW, what else will you get out of playing GW that will benefit you in GW2?

    So What Now?

    Well, you won't actually benefit from it, as all of the rewards are only cosmetically different, but you gain pets/weapons/armor/titles that are unobtainable in the actual game.
