I really enjoy when the truth starts coming out, "all of a sudden people that raved about GW2 will now start bashing it", though I believe you are placing far too much faith is ESO.
This +1 plz

I do too and still do. It'll be a great game to visit in a few months to a year when they start doing real content updates and add in certain missing features.
I firmly believe the base of GW2 is an amazing game with amazing potential but it'll need time to reach its potential.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
YUP ready and waiting!
lots of hard mmo players I know aren't going to buy cause its to expensive.
I am in although its pricy but 3xtimes to level 50 is like 2 big mmos so its ok.
Expensive? To me any game like this is very cheap entertainment, especially compared to other platforms. There is so much more content and things to do in an mmorpg than a single player game. Also, compare gaming to any other form of entertainment and it is very inexpensive!
XBox 360 $59.99
PC $59.99

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
No this game is very expensive.. in the UK its £49 that is nearly £20 more expensive than your normal PC games and other MMORPGs. Some epxensive PC games direct from AAA publishers might push to £39 but you can get them a lot cheaper from other retail outlets..
This game is way over priced for what it is and because of that I will not even consider buying it even it it turns out to be super amazing.. its not because i cant afford it but its because thatis not the price for PC games and its as simple as that. Plus it has a sub on top of that...
Quick edit had a look around some of the other retail outlets and the cheapest i can find it is £36.99 and that is for a physical copy. Lets look at GW2 for instance I picked that up for £29 from the same site as a pre-order.
Oh no! £7.99 cheaper for a relatively unknown IP! £8.99 a month for potentially 100's of hours of entertainment! Such a rip off! I mean, I could watch ONE film for 2 hours a month at that price! Or have lunch in a decent bar ONCE a month....
Woe is me!
still that £8 could be spent on a few pints down the pub thanks.. plus that is not the real point.. The game is too expensive and its as simple as that.. I would also not call GW an unknown IP.
I would not have much of an issue about the sub if they where asking a normal price for a game.. but nearly £20 mroe expensive than normal games is qutie a big difference no matter how much hours of entertainment they claim.
Anyway this is going way off topic now I am sure there are threads about this already here.
Also for that price would could sub to netflix or one of the others and watch hundreds of films and TV series..
Huh, it's the same price here in the US as any other new release. Besides, I really don't see how anything of this type is over priced compared to single player games or any other type in it's genre.
Also, GW2 didn't release at that price. edit: at least not here in the US. I paid $59.99 when it released.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Generally PC games here in the UK release between £29.99. £32.99, £34.99 and sometimes £39.99(usually big AAA titles like battlefield, call of duty type this) not £49.99
Im sick and tired of crappy mmo's. B2P, P2P, F2P, whatever.
I would pay double the box price and twice the monthy fee for a good mmo. I dont know if TESO is a good mmo, just saying!
GW was pretty unknown before GW2. And GW2 was £49.99 for standard edition, you just managed to get a deal... and they supplemented with a 'proper' cash shop.... rinsing the weak willed.
Old films, yes.

Erm...
Look at the date in that quote from Facebook.
Just saying...
It's supposed to be a "stress test" weekend, so opening early would kind of defeat the purpose, not so ?
If they're REALLY intent on stress testing the login servers, they'll be opening an hour or two late, so that they can be sure there's tens of thousands of irate gamers spamming the "Play" button...
Sorry to hear that.
Maybe the OP is from the US and that is why he is excited. For a bit less money he gets hundreds of hours of game play while in the UK you guys get less for your money and the game won't be worth it. /sarcasm
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
