Don't forget "The Secret World", had my eye on that one for quite a while now and it's looking very promising.

But why wouldn't people want to go the GW2 route? It's F2P! I'm not going to buy 3 mmo's with monthly fees... I'll maybe buy 1, but will definitely buy Guild Wars 2.

+ they are not gonna be all released ALL AT ONCE.

Not to mention that the titles mention are different genras to begin with.

For RTS game i am getting SC3.. maybe for Single player experience il be getting D3, for Star Wars feel im getting TOR and for casual have fun im getting GW2..

Also forgeting the fact that those who can afford will get all the games at their respective release dates. Which wont be ALL AT ONCE.

Elyos you can make prettier, Asmodians you can make look sluttier if female (ranger chick says hi) or a lot more buff if male. The animations are different between the two races.

Aion 1.5 has a lot more customization options than version 1.0, including a bunch of more "Western" style faces and hairstyles. I have an account on the Korean test server and was playing around with the updated character creation.

I really hope you guys outdo them on the visuals with Guild Wars 2 (after all Aion will be 2+ years old by then), and are at least on par with something like TERA.

Unfortunately, he seems sworn to secrecy on what he did in GW2.

He has an awesome evil voice though.
Using the above info, can anyone speculate at which point of a game's development a game studio rents voice actors ?
Could this be used as a hint on GW2 development timeline ?

This has been brought up in another thread, and the short answer is: Not really.
