Hmm.  I thought I was really hyped until I read this.  I'm NOT that hyped.  I guess I'm just mildly anxious for release so I can enjoy exploring Tyria.  /shrug  But I'm pre-purchasing because I WANT to, apparently NOT because I'm very hyped.  Will be fun to have the BWEs to try out professions before head start, and of course to help in whatever way would be most useful to Anet by then, whether bug reporting or just stress testing.  I feel pretty chillaxed about the whole thing and yet.....happy, not hyper.

My husband is just like your wife when it comes to spoiling the game, and he's driving me nuts:)

We're still playing SWTOR, LOTRO, and other games - though I expect once they announce release date SWTOR will go.  LOTRO won't ever go away (we're lifetimers) but we only get on for two hours each week to catch up with friends at the moment because we are burned out on it.  Now if we can convince those friends to move to GW2 we'll have it made but I'm pretty sure they won't move until housing is in.

In one of your previous posts you mentioned the problem about outlevelling guild members - Nothing kills a game faster, I am so looking forward to being able to spend time with friends without a ton of coordination to make sure we are close to level and on same quests.  Usually it's enough of a challenge to work our way around our real life schedules to find some meet up time.

Looking forward to this.  I'm glad that pre-purchasing will give me the chance to contribute to the game during beta.  Yes, I am jonesing to play, but actually contributing to the process excites me!

We did our stint in Lotro but the graphics killed me,  not that they were bad, but I'd get extreme motion sickness just traveling around.  I found myself standing around near the Auction house in town just doing nothing.  Our guild house was pretty nice and personal housing as well.   I can't wait for that to be in GW2, then it will have nearly everything I want in a game.

My wife LOVED lotro, I just... couldn't. 

7 days to go!!!! all random all bottom LoL yay... nothing better to play.

I have been singing Europe - the final countdown....ALL DAY!

While I wait 7 days until I can purchase GW2 pre purchase I'm playing League of Legends with my second in command of Guardians of the Garter and my queen.   All Random All Bottom is a custom play style where the host makes it all random for champion select in the dominion map and everyone fights in the bottom lane not going above the speed boost.  its fun but today we started playing on Twisted Tree Line.

So bored of that game but until GW2 comes out we have nothing that interests us in other games.

What are you doing for the next 6 days until the pre purchase of GW2?

Well I have been playing..

Starcraft 2 marine mod (very fun)

Team fortress 2

Battlefield 3 

anndd Bastion

Trying to get a ton of games out of the way, cause I know once GW2 hits, i will prob never play them again.

Damn friend of mind got me excited with GW2 now i bought the game and i can't wait to play it.
I never thought after all these years and failors of many MMMOs and me being a sandbox fan seeing all these mediocre themeparks(not long ago i condem all themeparks hehe)i'll would be so enthousiastic about a themepark.

I hope its worth it cost me €150 hehe, if this will be a dissapointment i'll quit gaming :D

I know I'm in the minority here but are we really getting excited over the day we get to pre-purchase the game? And wait... who came up with the phrase "pre purchase"? In order to pre-purchase the game don't we have to purchase the game. Maybe we should accurately re-title this "Purchase the Pre-game"... I don't know. Random thoughts, I know. I'm tired and shouldn't hit the send button but I've come too far to turn back now...

When you wait...many many years for a game, yes its very easy to get excited.

pre purchase is accurate, we are purchasing the whole game pre release. Many games are doing it these days, most are indie but its not unheard of in big name games either.

Loved the last sentence ^^

Personally yeah I'm excited cause the pre purchase will be my way of showing ArenaNet that I'm very excited about what they are doing and that I have faith in them to do so. I also hope it will show NCSoft that ArenaNet is on the right track and let them do their thing and not interfere.

Even if ArenaNet would put in a big "I WIN" button in the cash shop or "Screw you here is THE BEST pvp gear there is and it's only 50 dollars" (which I don't even for a second believe that they would do) I would still have a game I could play for the PVE experience for the same price as Skyrim.

No sub makes it an easy decision for me to put money up front to them cause even if they screw me I can still play the game as a PVE experience, and I am one of those people that play MMORPGs for the pve (and if I can for the roleplaying part) in the first place (I've always hated the endgame in almost every game).

Also, of course, it's for the guaranteed beta access... Obviously ^^

I just hope it isn't too long after 10APR that its released. While I wait I am playing Guild Wars some and DCUO. Its really killing me waiting because my new PC will be delivered on 09APR as well.

I'm not so excited about the day I get to give my money away and get nothing immediately in return.  But I am very excited for the day I finally get to beta test the game.  

Between PvP videos that contain no actual PvP and getting excited about the day you can prepurchase the game, I think the level of fandom has officially gotten out of control.

The prepurchase is good, it will give them a good base of how many servers they should have, and then they will add about 20% more for walkin purchases.  I believe its a way to have a very smooth launch come release day.  Now if we only knew of the release day, their numbers would probably be alot more solid.  Sooooo, release date please?!@? :)

I hope its more than 20% many many many ppl are still preordering with their favorite companies and many others are waiting for a release date to do so. I would think only about 20% are actually preprchasing, perhaps a bit more.

I am not particularly excited for 10 April. Prepurchasing the game doesn't give me any joy. I want to play the game... Even if I buy it on the 10 Apr,  I still won't be able to play before release date. I am also not playing the beta events. I don't like playing betas. I only play them for a bit if I am undecided about a game. But I am definitely buying GW2 so there's no point in ruining my first experience of the game.

So for me it's not that exciting...

I am going to play the betas as a chance to see how the classes work first hand and which one really suits my play-style, cause right now I am stuck between 7 different classes...
