I still would have bought it :P.
Let's look at a very early trailer of GW (Back in 2001!)
Vakir
Cjlr
Hehe... Coming in 2004.
Nevin
I wouldn't have bought it. I would've went for WoW over that. Although I wish they took some of those old armors/weapons and redid them for modern GW.
Alleji
Wow, that looked horrible. I'd stick to starcraft, civ 3 and quake 3 in 2001.
Arkantos
Wow.....GW has changed. I have 1 thing to say:
Pwning with my FDS since 2001

To earn the right to call ourselves guild members? Last time I checked it didnt take much to call someone that...
Did you see the way the chest opened...?

Wow, that looked like -crap-
DaerunAxis
if the graphics were the same quality, this old trailer actually looks better than GW now... looks way more fun
RuPee
heh in 2001 i was hanging out in internet cafes playing counterstrike and i hated games such as guild wars. wow was i wrong.
zankoku
I echo the "wow" ...
That looked like crap, and I'm glad they took the extra year to work on whatever they were working on (though I'm guessing some of that included the look of the game). I think GW as it stands today has some of the best in-game art in the genre.

It's fun to watch, but also quite terrifying. It looks honestly just awful. And the real cheesy narration just makes it worse.
Is it just me, or does the environment art actually look very very similar to WoW in that trailer? :s

Haha, that gave me a good laugh. But I do like how the monsters were so big back then.
Ka El Windstorm
Gaile, was that your voice in that trailer? Can't believe it is really the same game. It was so basic looking.

I believe that is the E3 2003 trailer, not 2001.
Branskins
It looks like WoW!
But I have to say, the enviroments look like fun!

How the graphics have changed..
Honestly, I would have never picked this game up if I saw that trailer.
Nice find though o.o

Looks like the idea for the afflicted was thought of early and postponed for Chapter 2...
They cut that chest in half? Don't need no damn keys!
... Wow, what a piece of crap.

Oh My God

Its god-awful. Sega-Saturn type graphics, slow gameplay and fugly monsters. I'd never buy it like that.
Amity and Truth
Anyone having a link that is not hosted on Lagfile? Can't view it without having to wait a full damn hour for it to even finish the buffering .
nomercy
I loved that one!
Atomheart

Farrell-Zander
They all look so fat :P
J3mo
The graphics in that trailer look the like nowadays graphics from WoW lol
TreeDude
That was awesome. I wish I could have been testing it when they started the trasition from that to what we have now. Some of the monsters looked pretty cool. There was absolutly no casters though, guess they hadn't added spell effects yet.
Ristaron
I've been playing since the third last beta, and I never saw guild wars graphics like that. Thank God they took the time to make them better, else I may not have bought the game when it came out.
Klmpee
i dont know if anyone else noticed.. but the male war in the end (1:42 seconds) is holding a Crenellated sword.. i guess thats where it came from 
Lowly Peasant
Not to mention the warrior at 1:28 with the sword I've been wanting since I saw it on the weapons rack in the Ascalon armory.
Aejorii
I think I would have still bought the game.
Gameplay>graphics for me.

Hehe, I saw an FDS, a tribal axe, the crenellated sword mentioned, a summit hammer...
and trolls (green thing?) could KD! whoa! Maybe anet should bring that back so they're not farmed so easily.

Armor looks nice tho on some warrs and rangers. Also the moves made with swords and axes impress me. And the sheer size of the monsters is just nice ^^

Sounds like a typical PUG to me.
VitisVinifera
yeah the graphics were pretty bad and toonish, but still you can see the spirit in which the game was conceived was there from the very start. It's a great concept which technology (or simply graphic artists?) had to catch up with.
