Will you be purchasing Guild Wars 2?
Kerwyn Nasilan
For only 50$ why the hell not. Even if it only gives me 1/100th of the fun time GW gave my It would still be a better value than almost every other game out there.

I think a lot of people here have questions that have been answered in a way here: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2.
Based on the "projected" gw2, I will buy it.

Yes - on day 1 (or before if i get beta)
I might not agree with all the last six months changes in GW1 - but the amount of time i've played make me believe that the same developer group will turn out a game that is worth playing. BUT i think I will still be playing
GW1 as well.
If after a few months I find i've made a mistake I'll carry on doing the stuff I like on GW1.
After three years - and a low bordom threshold - I still find different things to do as and when I feel like it.

I shall most definately buy it! After spending 2,000+ hours in GW1 I definately want to play the sequel!
Yggdrasil
Voted "no." This could change if: it gets good reviews, and (at least seems) to get away from some of the things that have been happening to GW1; and if they make a linux-native version. So, i really doubt that it will ever happen.
kratimas
Without a doubt I will buy it.

The main question for me isnt the money, its the time investment again. Depends when it comes out and where I am at with things.
That said, I'm also very unlikely to get a new PC. I've long been a Mac user. My PC was having troubles, so I retired it, and I from GW (again). I currently dont have an Intel Mac, but that's my next computer purchase, as well as a Mac laptop. No way I'm installing Windows crap on my Macs, so unless Anet finally releases a Mac version (hah) or I have a change of heart on getting a new PC, its pretty much a "no" for me whatever the reviews are. I say that now I know (lol), but if its buy a new gaming PC specifically for GW2, its going to have to be the ideal game and far better than the "I wonder if my old crappy PC can run it" scenario that GW was.
I'm still here on the forums. Still love the game, obviously, so that at least is saying something.
Guess we'll see.

No I can't decide between a yes or no. The game has not been released nor is it near release...

Voted yes.
I Believe that Anet/Ncsoft will learn from past mistakes and deliver us a fresh start over that will rock us like when we first dipped into prophecies so many years ago. I can't wait for it!

It's hard to answer this question when we don't even know what GW2 will actually be. Funny, that.
If it's anything like GW1 is now, there won't be any point. If you want grind, there are better games out there for it, where both the aesthetic and practical rewards are far greater than anything you can get in GW. If you want skill, there are better games out there. And if you want community, there are better games out there. About the only hook that GW continues to have is the pseudo-MMO aspect without a monthly fee, but that's not a significant factor for me. If anything, the game might benefit from a higher bar for entry

Yeah. I like trying new things though that'll be the major reason. Sure as hell won't have anything to do with how ANet is handling things now n days.
Legendary Shiz
Doubt I'll ever get it.
If I do get it, it will be right away. I hate coming late into games, you miss out on too much.
90% chance I don't, though.

If you are sitting on the fence, don't post. It's a yes/no thread. He wants yes or no answers, and why. No maybe's. No, well, if I don't see my shadow, I'll buy it, but if I do see it, I'll run away and stay home 6 weeks.
It's his thread. You want a maybe, post your own thread. after the first five people saying they want "maybe" with no change, I'd think they could guess there won't be that choice.
On topic...by the time they come out with a new game, I'll be onto something better. There are a lot of games just out or in the pipe. I'm willing to cough up the price of three lattes and change per month for a game that fits my tastes.
To the one that hoped for a Linux port...Anet is Microsoft's RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO. They are DirectX bitches that have all Microsoft servers....which explains their slowness and lack of good security. Vista will be the min req for the game. WoW actually is the best MMO on the linux side, and you still need an emulator for it.

I voted Yes, and I'll have someone pre-order it online for me lolol !
Arena Net, give something special to players who pre-order please
thank you.

@Sir Seifus Halbred, quickmonty, and Clarissa F quickmonty, I don't care what he chooses or if he chooses at all. I don't know why, but for some odd reason it just seemed like the dumbest thing to say. What the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO is maybe going to tell anyone? I've seen other people ask for that, but please mod don't change it. You're either with or against(hypothetically). Clarissa basically explained it perfectly, I thought I'd never see anyone with that much understanding. If you can't decide then you don't have to vote.

Right now it is a NO for me...since the decline of pvp there really is nothing in GW to work toward. For a free to play game it was alright I guess, but it will take far more for me next time around. GW just hands everything to everyone on a silver platter. Grind should not be mandatory, but it should be a component IMO. To me a game is best when there are still secrets to discover, levels to reach or uber rare items to work toward. At least PVP kept me playing hardcore for a while, but that ended when the Koreans left IMO.

Perhaps "maybe" will tell you that some/most users do not have enough information or trust in anet to make a decision right now. The world is not on/off, black/white etc, its shades of grey. Yes or no assumes that thats all the answers to be found in your question, where clearly it is not.
As for secrets, I assume they mean new ideas, techniques, etc to be found in the metagame and thru skill changes. We don't necessarily know what is up Anets sleeve right now.

I'll of course buy it, but this is probably the one single thing that ruined the game for me. Emphasized on one character development, which isn't my type of game at all, especially when the awards were worthless. I know you could say "then just don't do em", but i'm a sucker for em. Almost every other aspect of the game, I was okay with.

When I think of an elite area, I believe that only a small percentage of the players should ever see it finished, but thats just my opinion. Oh, and by no means do I think that I would necessarily be in that small percentage, but at least I could work toward it

A) I see more information
or
B) By some magic, I get in on the beta.
Neutral. not Yes, not No.

I will, no matter what.

There is now a 'maybe' option. Of sorts.

I'm on the fence. I need more info (confirmed info, not speculation) before I decide.

Is there a thread somewhere that says: what you want and don't want in GW2?

I probably will HOWEVER if they announce a ridiculous level cap or other stupid things like, no instanced areas, title based skills, the end of the 8 skill system, etc. I won't.
Maximumraver
Ill get it, day of release, I've played about 2500 hours on gw one, that's money well spent, for even a few 200/300 id buy gw 2, as long as it still doesn't have a monthly fee.

Anyway, I enjoy sitting on the fence. I am starting to feel worried after the 15-month lack of info, especially since we are only 3-6 months from beta.
But they can fix many, many things about GW and, most importantly, make a satisfying, long-lasting PvE game. I have hopes and worries. Quote:

Most of them couldn't even attempt to do FoW or UW because they are so n00b. The game really starts after level 20, tbh.

I'm still voting no, because if the game came out now, that would be my response. Unless I had a lot of recommendations from people I know playing, I don't intend to play. Although if the organized PvP does end up looking very interesting, that view could change.
arcanemacabre
Umm, if I could re-vote, and now that there actually is a "maybe" option, I would change my answer to that.
So, how could I re-vote?
