Wow, that's really nice. And to think that GW is free, as opposed to WoW!

Maticus6239d ago

Yeah I used to play GW any wondered why anyone would pay to play a game... then I tried WoW. 4 years later ans I'm still hooked, haven't dusted off my Guildwars account in some time now :P

Maticus6239d ago

That game looks so nice. I used to play it before WoW, but I ran out of stuff to do pretty quickly.

Fyzzu6239d ago

I love these events and celebrations. Always cool to see how the devs handle them.

Malfurion6239d ago

It's a pretty game, no doubt about it. Roll on GW2!!

AndyA6239d ago

Yeah, it's about time we had a sequel.

Maticus6239d ago

Don't expect that until next year :P

Fox016239d ago (Edited 6239d ago )

The GW team is working on Aion. So the next GW wont be out before a very, very long time. I'm hearing 2010-2011

NarFan6239d ago (Edited 6239d ago )

fox01
Guild Wars team is arenanet and they are working on Guild Wars 2.
aion is made by NcSoft the publisher of gw

Fox016239d ago

I saw it on the Official site; the team that worked on the Original Guild Wars is working on Aion right now. That's the reason of the delay.

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg19d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k418d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.

PRIMORDUS178d ago

I played the first beta of GW1 way back in May 2004, still playing it sometimes today, now I'm mostly in GW2. I will definitely go back in GW on Dec. 3 to see the improvements 😎

TGG_overlord178d ago

Sweet =) I hope that you (and others) will have a great time with this one.

jznrpg178d ago

Put it on console and I’ll play it again. I’d didn’t do much of the endgame stuff it any at all (it’s been so long I don’t remember what I did besides level up) Since it has controller support it would be perfect for console

TGG_overlord177d ago

That sounds like a good idea imo, but I don't know if the devs have such plans. Maybe if this one turns out really well for PC, they might go down that road.

Michiel1989178d ago

no fucking way. I really hope that they give "new" servers, so not every new player starts playing when the veterans literally have endless piles of gold (platinum in this case) and honestly as a veteran I want a reset as well. I can't believe this is actually happening. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee be good. Christmas comes early this year

TGG_overlord177d ago

I don't recall that the devs have said anything about the matter as of yet, but we shall soon find out since the drop shall be done this December 3rd.

Michiel1989177d ago

Yeah looked around a bit and there is no reset or alternative sadly. I'm still super excited though also because they said that they will continue with some kind of updates (it's probably not content updates). Was planning to play some again in february but that will become december

mkis007177d ago

Here's hoping gw2 gets some enhancements soon. I want better draw distances.

TGG_overlord177d ago

I bet that's coming as well ;)

Travesty177d ago

I loved GuildWars.. back in the the day I would play this countless hours.. I was young and didn’t want to pay for a subscription like WoW.. My friends were stuck playing RuneScape and I thought this was next level content.

I play most my games on console now.. so I kind of wished they could bring GW2 to it. I haven’t played that game in years either.
