i voted yes but if it turns out to be a wow clone ill stop playing gw2
i hate the walking for hours to next place or killing the same monsters over and over for small amounts of xp. due to lack of info we get from anet i might not buy it at release date tho. if they would give us more info abut the game then i might think differently but atm im not to fond off the nolvl cap
gw1 was a great game till the changes they made if gw2 is close to that i will love it but if they start changing skills again like in gw1 i wont play it for long
PS I miss gaile and her way of giving new info
Will you be purchasing Guild Wars 2?

Of course not. After so many bad decisions and lack of relations with players, I'm not going to waste money on GW2.
Especially when there will be so many new things in Ragnarok Online by that time. Or Assassin's Creed 2. Or I might try Starcraft 2 (never played first game ;d), WoW 2, or real life high school.
And seriously, after Neverwinter Nights 2, the crappiest sequel I've ever played, I'm not trusting even reviews. And after Fury I don't try games based on betas.

closed beta > hope
open beta > in for sure
day one > buying 2x c.e.

I'll wait to see what it turns out to be...I don't want a wow clone or a PvE game
Darcy
Yes, I will buy it. Based on my enjoyment of GW, GW2 will be impossible to resist.
If I don't like it, well, it won't be the first, or the last, game I wish I hadn't purchased.

There should be an option for, "I rather wait until there are more informations on the game".
SirSausage
I voted yes, but only if it turns out to be a good game.
Beta will probably have a big influence on my decision.

Hell yeah i will. Collectors edition. Maybe 2
RotteN
I'll do what anyone in their right mind will do : play the beta and then decide.
Angelic Upstart
I will wait, and check out the reports on it first, given Anets stance on PvE skills and titles as these are two of my main hates about the way GW1 has morphed out of recognition.
Skill>Time ftw
Skill>Time ftw
DoomFrost
Yeah I'll be going off to Guild Wars 2 once it's released.
Angel Killuminati
Was tough to vote in the poll really, because I'll only buy it if it has good reviews on the gaming sites. If not, then I'll avoid it, but more than likely it will have decent reviews...so I voted yes.
Things that would make me decide not to buy it? If they keep all these pathetic titles that turn the game into a title based driven game. There should be one main title, which is in terms of experience in the game, much like the Eye Of The North title track now. That title in GW2 should display how experienced you are...'elder' etc, plus maybe a few others to indicate wealth in your account/storage chest, or in terms of golds identified etc, the same as it currently is.
Also, if they cut out skills such as Ursan which ruin the whole concept of a massive online game, where you need to link up with varying professions in order to explore and compete. Now it's 'grab one skill and kill all button bash, with lack of skill.' Whatever people say, that's ruined the whole concept of the game. Also, don't go down the 1 player and 7 heroes route, because that will turn it even further into a single player experience.
I'll wait to see what their plans are more nearer the time. I dread to think.

I going to wait a couple of months and read some reviews, if they make it so PvP and PvbE are completely seprate, and they story line has been put to gether well, I might buy it ealier, but I have a feeling it's playablility is going to be the same as this game, except differtent astetics.
upier
Yes. CE.
Basically it's to play the bear. (Hopefully we'll get a druid like class - but the whole summoning a companion should be a bitch for PvP! Pretty please though! With whipped cream and cherries on top! Or a PvE only skill!)
(What's interesting though is that I have absolutely NO bloody interest in HoM. The only thing I have displayed there are the armours and the Lucky/Unlucky titles. I think I have my tapestry-thingies in my storage - outside of the one you get at first ...)
(Don't get me wrong - the more I hear about GW2 the less fond of it I am (the whole no mouse movement IS freaking me out!) - that's why I try to learn as little as possible about it. Ignorance is bliss!

Yup, im not going into it expecting it to be a copy of GW1 - I'm sure noone wants that. Therefore, Im not going to say "I hope its not like WoW etc" cus there are some features of WoW which would improve the game tenfold, ill just let the game be what the game is, and if thats as enjoyable as GW1 then I'll keep playing.

I might if it turned out to be a good game 1 month after the release
I hope ill get into the beta ^^

I will buy GW2, unless by some odd twist of fate ANet decides to implement a monthly fee system.
Online reviews are useless anyway, I want to see the game myself. If it's good and makes me play 1000+ hours again $40 is peanuts.

Yes, absolutely. As I have stated on numerous occasions, ArenaNet has my unyielding support. Launch day will see my 50-60 dollars well spent.

Well - plus there is the issue of me doing pretty much PvE only where most of the movement is restricted to C+SPACE.
But seriously - that's one of my main issues for GW2.
Games are made or broken on their control scheme. GW was made - so hopefully we can expect the same thing for GW2. *crosses fingers*
Edit:
Just saw this:

Then I played it - and I was like WTF!??!?!?'
It is a freaking disaster.
Anarkii
I'll get it. Just because I like to buy every fantasy game which isn't 100% terrible. How regularly I'll play it depends on how good it turns out to be.
Shiro Katagari
Big yes from me. Pre-order, CE, the works. Whatever's going. T-shirt too, if they do them in my size 
Reason? Over the past 3 years, I've really enjoyed Guild Wars. I'm not fanatic about playing it - overall, less than 2000 hours in the past 36 months, 14 characters and all campaigns/EotN - but I certainly get in a few hours a week each week if I can.
I can't honestly think of any other console/computer game I've got that I can say that about. The various 'great and the good' in video gaming history can suck me in for a month or two and maybe a nostalgia visit several months down the line, but not constantly. Not for 3 years.
Let's take 'Crysis' as a popular example from a few months ago. I spent £35 on that when it came out. Do I regret it? No, not really. It was flashy, it plenty of 'Ooooh!' moments, it was exciting. It only lasted a couple of weeks but it kept me entertained for that time. So even if GW2 only holds my attention for a month, it should still be worthwhile as long as I'm enjoying myself.
Which is, I suppose, the key. We have next to nothing to judge GW2 on in and of itself, we only have GW to go by. That being the case, I'm more than happy to chance it as I've loved Guild Wars.
Other people don't have to feel the same way - that's cool, my enjoyment of the game doesn't require them to.
Peace.

I'm going to try it at the very least, I'll most likely just wait for a trial key to come my way unless reviews are top notch. Don't get me wrong, I love Anet and GW completely but frankly it's stupid to just
rush out and buy a game simply because it's a sequel, and we have no idea what the game will be like compared to GW.

I think it was the MMORPG game in the universe of Star Gate. Star Gate Worlds Online or something like that.
ilipol
Since GW2 will probably be fee-free I will most likely get it... I hope I 'll be able to get into beta in order to get a better preview of it though.
Yawgmoth
YES, definately yes. I have very big hopes in GW2.
It will be a perfect opportunity to fix what couldn't be fixed in GW1 and add a ton of totally new stuff.
I will happily roll a Norn, shapeshift into a bear and start massacring everything on my way

Haven't the devs already said that GW2 (PvE at least) will be about more simple skill combinations and more emphasis on specialised mission-specific "skills" - like a lot of the crap PvE-only stuff we saw in EotN - you know, where you have to use a particular "skill" to reveal certain hiddens areas on a map, or use a particular "skill" to break down a particular door in a particular mission.
If so, then I'll probably wait for GW1 to fizzle out, then move on to a different MMO entirely, because GW2 sounds like it's going to be a load of rubbish.
Oh and for all those that are just assuming GW2 will "fix all the problems" of GW1, understand this - what we saw in EotN, i.e. title grinds, "cheat-mode" consumables, and overpowered PvE-only skills that require no synergy with other skills, work independantly of your stats or profession, and that never leave your skillbar no matter what you're doing - all that stuff is just prototyping for GW2.

I haven't voted because I'm taking a wait and see attitude. If I see positive reviews and the game looks fun...well duh! If it just looks like more of the same, then probably not. I've enjoyed playing GW immensely, I'm not investing money into "been there, done that."
I can't give a straight yes or no answer without knowing more about the game. And speculation on Guru doesn't count.

If GW2 is anything like I've read about, I'll definitely get it.
Saying that, their reviews aren't worth much. EotN promised to have brand new armours, in-depth story about the underground Asuran, Gwen and the dwarves? Yeah. 3-4 hours of gameplay, the same dungeons with different bosses and armours that are dyed differently from old campaigns.

sterbenx2
I will buy it. I won't be happy tho if it plays more like GWEN than it does like proph.
I'm remembering, ages ago, myself and my team playing the proph mission where you need to find the catapult parts to kill the charr. There on that hill we stood, staring down at the charr army debating and planning for five or ten minutes about our chances of taking them, head on. We decided to try, if we failed, we would regroup and re-enter the mish doing it the right way.
We decided to do it, we wiped, we re-entered and did it the right way and won.
My point: THAT is fun stuff. Options in play, even during linear missions, is very fun. ALL of my most rememberable moments happened in Proph.. why? It was a better game, flat out. Each chapter has gone downhill. Sadly, I don't see GW2 being better. But, I'll play it anyway, for a bit.

I will probably buy it just to see if anet was able to acheive what they claimed to be aiming for by scrapping a forth GW campaign to make GW2.
Whether or not it will be a refreshing new game of choice or a re-hashed GW that makes you start from scratch with a new char and a different control schematic will have to be seen.
I swear at the first sign of another title grinder it's going to be gasoline and a match.

As of this moment, yes.
I reserve the right to revisit this decision if Anet nerfs Ursan, SF, or any other "problems" that are an issue only to a minority of vocal whiners on forum sites.
I don't want to drop another $400 into a game that is decided by those sort instead of the devs, that's why I quit WoW.
