Anyone planning on playing?

You can sign-up for their beta right now:  https://beta.guildwars2.com/

I haven't really found a replacement ever for Final Fantasy XI.  I spent a good amount of my life playing this game (roughly 8 years) and just haven't found the right MMO to replace it.  Guild Wars 2 seems somewhat promising, but I'm not sure that I have as much time as I used to.  But we'll see!

I THINK I played on Cerberus during my brief stint with FFXI. I didn't like the lack of soloability in that game. Also, I REALLY wanted to be a dragoon, but didn't have the time to invest in the game to get it. I plan on picking up GW2, since I spent a while with GW, and I am a huge fan of the no-subscription model without the constant need to shove a cash store down our throats.

Considering it was my first MMO, I didn't really have any expectations as far as solo or team play went.  I just played the game, and thought it was pretty fun since all my other friends were playing...then I got addicted and well, that's how I ruined my life for 8 years.

I agree, I'm looking forward to a no-subscription MMO!

I've played RO pretty heavily on a private server. I jump back into it every now and then. Rates are just too low on the legitimate servers.

All I know is, when GW2 goes into Production, we should all join the same server and start a guild and be really cool right off the bat.

Yeah, I preordered GW2 also.  What does R stand for?  Realm?  Or are you referring to Server vs. Server?

Tera was pretty fun.  It's a cross-hair based 3rd person RPG, similar to WoW plus the crosshair actions.  Very clicky game.  I think open beta started on 4/20 :)  But they might be taking it down today.  I think the characters you play on the beta get transferred over to the live version, but I stand corrected on that.

Yeah... realm/server... point is that it is 3-way contention. Should be a nice added dimension to the politics involved in large-scale pvp which is a major source of enjoyment for me. I'd be happy to hang with some Geekhackers when it comes out.

"Pretty fun" isn't enough of an endorsement for me to shell out cash for Tera just yet! Warhammer was the last MMORPG I jumped into fully and really had fun (even though everyone beat the devs to finishing endgame and loot was dropping from classes that didn't exist yet), and everything since has just been wasted money.

I will try to "unbind" you from the NDA when you are overly intoxicated. :censored: -> :hippie:

Hoping we get a key set like the one they did in the GG/MOBA set.

OR

I might just mix match all those sets I've acquired here at GH :)

wasdkeyboard.com's upcoming PBT keys might be a good choice too.

Good call.  If this game turns out to be amazing and I get serious with it, I may look into running a GB through SP, imsto or WASD Keyboards.  And well, if I don't get serious, I hope someone else does!

The GW team is like Blizzard. They are smart enough to find that perfect balance between the game looking good and it being playable on a wide range of systems. I'm sure the 965 will handle it more than "fine". Enjoy your beta!

I'll gladly run or help run a GB (if I've got enough reputation around here :P) since I'd absolutely love a set. Also because I'm the biggest GW fanboy ever zzz. Someone else would have to deal with shipping though since I'm Canadian

Ugh. The digital collector's edition is lame for $20 extra unless ALL your guild members get it and REALLY want that Tome boost. $20 goes a long way towards a GW2 keycap set. :D
