Player Buzz

Alaris

GW2 is by far my most and probably only anticipated MMO. When GW2 is out, I doubt any other MMO will grasp my attention outside of curiosity. No current or planned MMO compares to what GW2 offers...

TottWriter

This is the first time I've followed a game pre-release, and there does seem to be a change in the atmosphere. Everyone knows that change is in the air.

Kronez

When I think of Guild Wars 2 I think of a breath of fresh air. Less grinding, new stuff, things done right. An MMO that actually holds your attention for more than 5 levels because it's different.

Nepentheia

It seems ArenaNet is going to see to it that [...] the entirety of the gameworld will be lived in and thoroughly experienced.

The Squid

[Guild Wars 2] basically took the MMO rulebook and tore it to pieces.

~PolarisNova~

What's attracting me to GW2 [...] is that it captures a certain allure and magic that feels rich and authentic [...] In other words GW2 looks like it has heart...

Klaygor

This game is looking like THE MMO to play. Can't wait for release.

Silverbaine

Wow... after seeing this trailer, and seeing what they plan on doing with the game, color me impressed. I'm going to be picking this game up.

Krishna830

I don't even know what to say. I was in absolute awe at what I was seeing, and the words the developers were saying resonated in my thoughts. I am scared to be so excited about this game, but I couldn't help freaking out while watching the trailer.

Stunningly beautiful, I truly never have seen a game that looks anything like this, nor a game that is just this unique or innovative. You all at ArenaNet have just changed the genre forever.
