Will you buy GW2?

You need to play some real RPG's then.

Yep, me too.

That fist M is not for massive, it's for massively. Massively is an adverb modifying multiplayer, and what it means is lots and lots of players all playing together. GW, can be played single player or with small groups. It has no persistent game areas, it has no large raid-type areas, there's nothing massively multiplayer about it.

Griefers and loot stealers are incidental. I don't game for a social experience. If I want a social experience, I go interact with real people. I game to get away from people and relax by myself.

Your inability to actually reply to me w/ "it is not an RPG because _____" means you probably don't know either, then.

But to answer your comment, I find no major difference between Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Oblivion, or NWN, that set them apart in such a manner as to deem GW *not* an RPG...

If Guildwars isn't an RPG, then what is it?
An action game? no
A shooter? no
A RTS? no
A puzzle? no

at this point in time due to what i have read about the features of GW2..no, i wont be buying it.
Also, i may not even be able to run it on my comp. And im definetly not going to run out and upgrade a perfectly working machine just to run a game. It may not be a top of the line comp...but i really dont need a top of the line machine.
A lot will definatly be decided with the beta...speaking of beta...will all GW1 players be offered the beta, or will it be a luck of the draw thing? If I get to play beta then maybe. (compatability features being met of course) If i cant get in on beta, then a definate NO.

Will I buy it? Of course. It depends on what else is on the market at the time, though. GW2 might be a second purchase.

Guil Wars is.... eh.... er...
Competitive and Cooperative
Roleplaying and Player versus Player
Leveler and Action
Game.
Or something like that.

Who cares about what it is? It's fun!

I'm definitelly getting GW2 as soon as:
- I get a job to pay it.
- I get a better machine to run it.
- I get KoaBD Rank 6 and a completely filled HoM with my main character to take her to GW2.

Hell yea im going to buy gw2

I'm with Vinraith on this one, I dont like the idea of playing with 100000 of the most immature people in the world all at the same time (groups of 8 is plenty), and along the lines of Viking---wont be getting a new computer just for a computer game---so in all likelihood neither me nor my husband (whose computer is more ancient than mine) will be getting gw2. Will play gw1 until they turn off the server then I will quit the computer gaming thing altogether.

Probably not. It really sounds like most of the things I enjoy about GW will not be in GW2, so it really might as well be any random game. The only thing it will have in common with GW1 is the staff, and I'm not a big fan of anet's management style.

ill buy it if the koreans buy it D:

Too far away and not enough info. I have too many questions about how they are going to handle a number of things that remain as of yet unanswered. So, its a definite maybe.

I should add, in my case, my PC likely wont handle it. I'm not buying another PC, since I'm a Mac person and hate PCs anyway. I just had the PC around for testing builds and, conveniently, Guild Wars. I doubt Anet will release a Mac version, so I'd have to have an Intel Mac desktop in order to run bootcamp on it and play Guild Wars 2, and I dont foresee getting one for another two years, as my G5 is perfectly fine. If I desperately want to play Guild Wars 2, I suppose I'll find a way at that time, but I also have technical hurdles to cross in addition to learning more about how Anet decides to design it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Might buy it after CoD 4 gets boring, or the new Rainbow 6 game gets boring (highly unlikely). I'll buy it for sure if anet drops the price to 20 bucks (likely to happen) because it's not selling hahhahahha

Most definitely will buy it and all its expansions.

UNLESS they decide to charge a monthly fees for what ever reasons. then I probably won't if that happens.

also please, please, no hidden cost like you have to buy this to be able to do that , in another word make it exactly like GW1, buy the cd and you play for free all region/map/item/weapons/armors etc are free. bleh.

The HoM and whole inheritance waiting for us in GW2 already convinced me to buy it. I sound like such a tool but I'm just being honest. That and Anet is so much better than Blizzard and SoE when it comes to service of nearly any sort... Anet actually listens to us, the community, whilst you find others twiddling their thumbs and releasing bland expansion after bland expansion for their games, instead of doing what they think is best for the community.

However on a side note I am somewhat worried about GW2's leveling system and how the armor/weapons will scale. I'm hoping that it will remain like GW, so as to prevent the whole "I'm better because my weapon is more powerful" complex. If it becomes like WoW or L2 in the sense of power being based around items than I doubt I'll buy. But considering Anet is so bent on keeping things based on personal skill and team play then I doubt there is much to worry about.

That's pretty much how I feel. Most of the disliked/hated elements, at least by the highly vocal internet denizens, are either, at worst, minor annoyances or things I actually wholeheartedly approve. GW isn't a perfect game, but it's a damn good game with a design philosophy very much in tune with my own game play style. Even the fact that GW2 seems to be a bit of a significant departure from things I've loved is appealing since the design team has proven themselves capable of providing a lot of fun - I look forward to seeing them do something with just as high of gaming quality but different.

I'll not just be buying it, I'm sure I'll have the CE (assuming there is one) pre-ordered.

Buy GW2?
What I've heard about GW2 so far gives me room for pause, and I certainly do not like the direction GW1 is presently evolving (grindcore).
I'd really like to have a look at GW2 myself before making my mind up, and as I'm in europe I wont be able to get in the beta, so it'll be quite some time before I know if I'll buy GW2.


.

I will have to play some kind of trial before I make a final decision. I love GW as it is, but there are some moves away from the traditional game that I'm not 100% sure I'll enjoy. I'm more than happy to try it out, but I'm not going to rush in and buy the first copy that comes out.
