For months, I've been a fence sitter.
I've questioned anything and everything about GW2
I've looked for the good and the bad.
I've maintained a healthy skepticism and held my doubts about this game.
I've held off from purchasing this game until just this past week.

So why then............

Do I feel like a grade school kid on Christmas Eve with the anticipation of this launch???????

AHHHHH!!!!! HELP!!!!

Agreed, within a month or so you'll realize it really is just another MMO and the excitement will wear off.

Had same feeling with SWTOR.

Don`t put your hopes high. Will be less disapoineted.

... or sustain ;)

@GeezerGamer : The answer why is pretty simple, we've not been served a decently solid MMO since such a long, long time ...

yes but it was clear from the get go SWTOR was bad.. all the videos showed the terrible graphics and the betas proved it and showed how much of a WOW clone it was. Apples and oranges.

I should add that unfortunately many many many SW fans would see reason before release and those of us trying to help.. sorta got slaughtered on the forums.

I tried to explain to my girlfriend that it was like missing Christmas for 5 years in a row and then FINALLY being able to spend Christmas morning with your favorite people and having 5 years worth of presents to open all at once.

-There will be a spike in divorces in 6 months

-Mt. Dew stocks will soar

-Cats and dogs will play with each other

-Babies will learn to feed themselves

-Come Dec Santa Claus who?

-Doritos Tacos will go from $1.29 to $4.79 due to short supply

-Voting numbers will be drastically down in Nov

-Rising Gas prices mean nothing

-The pizza hut couriers will be crying themselves to sleep

-The mailman will think everyone is on vacation

-The power companies will be very happy

You are not alone!

I was one of those massive Star Wars and Bioware fans that closed my eyes, stuck my fingers in my ear, and screamed "nah nah nah nah I'm not listening!'

Then SWTOR happened, then ME3 ending happened... consider me a broken fan boy.

If GW2 loses it's luster after 4-6 weeks like TOR did, I just might be done with the MMORPG genre.

Brilliant comparison :p

I'm with you!

I played GW1 a bit, and thought it was pretty good, but didn't get really into it. Then as info about GW2 started coming out, I figured I'd at least check it out and try to get into the beta. Months/Years passed, and when beta time came, I was on the fence. SO many MMO's have flopped and been a waste of $40-60, and have left a bad taste.

The more I played it though, the more I came to love it. Now it's at a point where I've never been this excited for a game release. The beta/stress tests have been getting better and the game runs like a champ. I'm this excited and I haven't even STARTED the PVE game yet. It's all because of sPVP and how many things they've done right with the combat and skill systems. 

It is both familiar and innovative. GW2 will almost definitely be my main game for years to come.

The game is still largely untested past a certain point. So one cannot logically deny that as a possibility. Even so, I think I can still walk away satisfied with my purchase.

I have paid more for less.

And Besides....I've been a Rift fan since it came out.....
How hard am I to please?

Yeah I have been a fence sitter myself as even though the fanboys say everything has been shown already I call B.S. and will wait a week or 2 until people get past level 40 to see what the game is like. I am trying to avoid the Tortage effect and the same mistakes I made with Warhammer thinking that endgame at level 1 was awesome when I was shown by halfway to cap it was pretty damn boring doing the same PVP maps and dynamic events.

If you have waited this long whats 1-2 more weeks? Enough people should be max level by then and you can get a good idea how things are.

exactly how? the videos before beta have shown it to be a good game and the BWEs proved it.. nothing like SWTOR
