Cautious optimism! One thing working in ANet's favor (towards me anyways) is B2P. I'm more willing to throw money at a game that just says "let me impress you" not "if you keep paying, we might get around to fixing things".

Waiting to see what happens. . certainly not hyped up. . except that most people I know are at least going to try it out so it might be good to see some old friends.  For that reason alone I will buy it.. . hoping it is also a fantastic game :)

Excited most definitely. Tired of the standard mmos go fetch/kill quests. GW2 will be a breath of fresh air.

I try to enjoy what's out at the moment.

GW2 seems nice, but since it's nowhere near to be out I'm barely paying attention to that title. Which is quite a challenge when you browse threads on mmorpg.com.

Yes i am excited but sitll i will wait for couple of months before purchasing it. I don't pre order or buy MMOS at release anymore. I have learned my lessons.

Not at all...gameplay looks like a blast, but im a sandbox guy and look for full open world pvp.  Being that they won't cater to that...for me its not exciting.  I'm sure it'll be a good game for many others though.

er..Star Trek online?

thread backfire?

No, I've learned over the years to NOT buy into ANY Hype whatsoever unless it's personal hype about a product.

GW2, so far, hasn't impressed me enough to even follow it past a year ago. I'll wait until Open Beta. If Open Beta doesn't happen I won't touch GW2, ever.

i really want guildwars to be the next big thing  if only to remove the subs model from all mmos in the future

hard to compete with a game if your not offering much more and asking for £10 a month for subs

the only real diffrence would be that cash shops take over, and to me its not all bad, though really really dislike games becoming shopping malls....never liked shopping to begin with :P

GW2 have a shopping mall too, and then exuce B2P with they then wont need to sell items with game affecting features - a cash shop light....that is something I can live with.....but it is important to remember that in other games their biggest income is from their cash shops - like EQ2 said their main income now is their cash shop sales of mounts and wow that have lost subscribers but have increased income on those who decide to keep playing.

with the amount of people that could consider buying GW2, because there is no subscribtion, might in the end get them more money through more boxes sold and item sales than what a subscribtion would have gained them.

Im just hyped for the pvp. WvWvW is more than enough for me (if executed right). Im ready to relive my RvR glory days

Alot of the combat mechanics have my attention, and I am excited to see what they will be doing with the phasing/persistent effects etc. And the WWW areas are boss, nothing more to be said there... that alone is worth the price of admission.

You know, most people would in that case wait for a free trial...

I'm not tired of the genre. If I was I doubt I would be playing anymore.

Anyways, I'm not hyped about this game but I'm following it. Could be a game changer if they actually pull off everything they say they're going to. We'll see what happens though.

I been on the forum for a while now. Seen many post and threads from Vets, that seem to be grieving the death of the MMO genre in their eyes.

But I am curious, are any of you grieving, tired MMO vets, hyped up for Guild Wars 2?

If so, what areas of GW2 are you hyped about most?

You believe GW2 will become your new main MMO?

share with us your thoughts and feelings about the upcoming GW2 which seem to be drawing in lots of attention. Maybe this will be the MMO which finally pleases you. What you believe?

I'm sure that a lot of people will buy it and 90% of the buyers will be dissapointed, because they think that the game will revolutionize the MMO industry.

I am 100% confident that it won't. It's just another MMO in the bunch.

Just another MMO huh?  Did I just wake up in Bizarroo world?

Sounds like you know jack squat about the game and all the revolutionary and innovative features its shooting for.  Ohh well cant please everyone I guess.

See you in game then :)

Im definately interested but still not convinced. It all SOUNDS great, but whether they actually pull it off is a different matter.

Not hyped at all....I cant generate hype for anything at the moment since SWTOR let me down. 

Saying that, I'll probably buy it anyway since its B2P

I have come to realise i will only like sandbox games past maybe a month and therefore the most polished and content rich MMO on the planet won't keep me for long unless i have freedom with it.

I will try Secret World purely as it may have features that are very deep and have a complex system that has long-term appeal. Besides that, i can't see anything on the horizon whatsoever, even ArcheAge won't be out over here for years yet.

Yes
