This is reeeally early to be asking, but what the hell...
Based on the info ANET has released on the lore and gameplay of GW2, who is planning to buy GW2?
Me?
I'm not.
I have Prophecies and Nightfall, been playing for two years, and I have yet to fully explore or complete either. I've never been to the realms of the gods or the realm of torment. I've never played as a Mesmer or Monk as my primary profession. I'm not in a guild. I haven't unlocked all the heroes, or capped all skills for any of my characters. I have a grand total of ONE suit of prestige armor.
Sooo....no. No new world until the old is fully (and I mean FULLY) discovered.
Will you buy GW2?

Sure I will give it a try after SCII
englitdaudelin
Sure. Regular updates, skill balances, sane varieties of PvP play and relatively endless possibilities of PvE play.... beats the Madden franchise anyday.
Free Runner
I wonder how many more of these "Will you buy GW2" threads will crop up between now and the time it releases.
I'll buy it but i have alot of stuff i want to complete in GW1 (All Conqueror Statues, Rank 3 KoABD and 25 Miniatures gained).

I'll buy it and play it for the first month or so ... just to get all the promotional bonuses their sure to dish out and finally get to be one of first in an area/areas.
After that, ill probly migrate back to GW and complete all the endless tasks i have left.

Absolutely. After reading the first few pages of the "what 3 things did ANet fail at" thread, I realized that even the things others are calling failures are things that I have appreciated as positive features in the game. Well, not unfixed glitches, but they haven't hurt my playing, so meh. So it seems my game values are in tune with the developers. So until they make something that I don't like, I will be buying whatever they produce.
holababe
Yes.
As long as it keeps elements of GW that I like (limited skills etc) then I will.
Otherwise I'll go back to WoW, since I'll actually have the time to play it properly.

Really depends what being offered.
I think my biggest mistake was buying prophecies (this was before factions came out)
and I loathed it.
I don't want to go through the same crap again.
So it really depends if I find anything that meets my style in Gw2
Or I'll wait for an expansion that creates that style for me.

i am 100% buying it. Based nthe Guild Wars 2 wiki and the lore provided, the plot seems very thick. World PVP looks amazing. (Comeon, who wouldn't want a huge pvp battle?)

Yes...simple as that...Ill still be playing GW1 to work on titles though i think
Biostem
I look at it this way: I enjoy GW1, but at some point the servers for it will be shut down. As a result, I will have to look for another game *eventually*, and it might as well be a game I have a history with, and thus I'll most likely get GW2.
In a broader sense, I have never felt as much of a desire to replay a stand-alone action/rpg game as much as I play GW, and so since it will cost about the same as a regular single-player game, why not get it?

I'll buy it most defenetly. I hope it will be a Guild Wars/Assassins Creed like game with the Action and Adventure (sorry I couldn't think of a better word) of Guild Wars, and the interactiveness and detail of Assassins Creed. The only thing is, I'll need to find a new guild.
Ugoff The Unholy
Although GW is slowly losing my interest... yeah, probably. I love buying a game on release along with a whole forum full of others. I like being the first to discover things, and never had that chance with GW"1".
Harrier's haste
Yeha wanna see how Anet is gonna turn GW into a WoW
fRag_Doll
Undecided.
As much as I enjoy GW, I'm not going to buy GW2 purely because it's a sequal to a game I like.
I have never bought a game without playing a demo/beta beforehand.

Depends how it turns out. Probably.
I MP I
I will totally decide after playing the beta.
Meat Axe
I'm definitely going to buy it. I'm really looking forward to it, actually. And it sounds like GW2 might be a game that my friends will actually play as well (I got them to buy GW1, and they say that it's a good game, but they seem to have some problem with not being able to be better than the next guy. I tried to explain that's what titles were for, but they said it just didn't compare).
Of course, I will still come back to GW1 from time to time. I plan to have at least one Hall of Monuments maxed out (except with rare minis that I will never be able to afford without months of farming, which I don't enjoy) before GW2 is released, and then I'll probably come back every couple of days to work on some more characters.

Operative 14
At this point I'm definately getting it.
Jake_Steel
As it will be at least 16 months, yes I will buy Collector's edition Pre-ordered.
Lonesamurai
Can't run my guild in it without buying it, but I will anyway... Unless I get a free copy
Vinraith
No, barring a complete change of course regarding persistence.
DarkWasp
Though i've always loved GW's new style, i've been curious how well and original Arena.Net could make a fully explorable MMO.
I'll be getting it with whatever collectors edition they release.
I cant wait for some REAL media updates.

No, I won't be buying it.
I've enjoyed GW and all the chapters but I'm really not liking the direction the business ethic is moving in.

50/50.
First of all, I don't even know if my computer will be able to run it. It is two years away. I might be too busy for the game to play.

Vinraith, tell you what....if ArenaNet offers a limited trial of GW2, please try it, I'll personally escort your character around and keep all the potential griefers and loot-stealers away from you.
As of right now based on what I've read and what I've seen of ArenaNet's history I'll probably get it. But it could change if for some unforeseen reason.
I'm a satisfied customer, I don't see any reason to doubt their next product will share the same quality and care as previous games.

Stewie
Not sure, I havn't really looked much into GW2 yet. I read the lore thingo when it came out ages ago, did not really like it, but then to me, lore has never been GW's strong point.
Prophecies was and is my favourtie campaign, and, in my personal opinions, Guildwars has gone downhill since then, to one degree or another. I still do play heaps, so I still do enjoy it, and there have been several significant improvement since the start, reconnects, hard mode, most of the titles etc.
So, yeah, depends.

What is it that you don't like about what you called MMO's ?
Unless they have turned GW2 in a wow clone I will for sure pre-order the collectors version.

Massive = yes, crapload of players
Multiplayer = potentially, see above
Online = yes
Role-Playing = here it gets hazy. Yes there are certain roles within the party, but character customization is nill beyond basic physical appearance.
Compare to The Elder Scrolls and even WoW, and as an "rpg," Guild Wars is seriously lacking.
I have no problem with that, because I have fun with it as-is.

you pick your appearance
you pick your skills
you level up
you fight monsters
there are quests
there's magic, melee combat, ranged combat, fantasy elements
