voted no as i will never play this game for many reasons but i will be playing TSW and a alpha beta of a upcomming mmo which i cant name

I played in the last BWE and really enjoyed the game. I had decided on purchasing the game so I told myslef I was not going to participate in any more BWEs so that the game would have a fresher feeling to me when I play at launch...... well I know have the client downloaded and am waiting for the beta weekend to start, lol so mission failed.

   No -   If I game at all, it will be TSW

TSW seems to be the game of choice for people who say they are not playing GW2 this weekend in BWE3.

Is this a sign of TSW having some staying power in the genre?

Is it just that TSW is new and shiny and will fade like every other themepark sub-based game?

Time will tell, hope ya'll have fun in the Secret World!

So far played the thief, ranger, guardian; now i'm gonna try out the necro slyvari style hehe

Not gonna play. As in previous CBW's, I'll look at performance on my machine, wander around a bit, but won't actively play. Not to mention, we'll play on a 'clean' server this CBW, and I'm not gonna put a lot of time in a new char (previous CBW char was lvl 5 or so *LOL*).

Also, I'll be at my mom's tomorrow and have a sh!tload of Necrons to paint (Warhammer 40K table-top for the no-knows :p), which I prefer to do over playing a char that won't last for 3 days ;) 

Simple answer, as I got hold of a beta key, yes.

I don't think it is an indication of staying power. Only a good sized population 6-12 months later would be the indicator.

Both TSW and GW2 are fairly different and new/shiny for MMORPGs and that will fade just like any game. But, of course, with GW2's design and payment method I suspect it will last longer.

I suspect you are right, however we will never know the actual numbers unless Anet tells us due to the whole no subs thing.

People will point to server populations and Xfire data (lol) just like any game.

I played for a couple of hours today, but i think i am mostly done with it.

Nope, I don't play due to Steam sell. Bunch of games to install and check;-)

i am working i might have time late at night and then see the new cities ot just spend time in the Mists

but for those who were able it was their last opportunity to see the game before they decide !

i wonder from those who played, what you believe its ready ? from my laptop and my bad wifi internet i cant judge anything, but the fact that runs great with such conditions is a huge positive !
