I dont think its going to fall below TORtanic levels of let down but this isnt a sustainable model of game for the MMO sphere.  Its an interesting single player experience but it feels a little to similar to GW 1 when it omes to the "MMO" aspects needed to sustain a community.

This game is already not living up to the hype.

 If GW2 is not a sustainable model for a game...then what is?

I haven't seen a game yet that has lived up to the hype, depending on the person.  Your statement is true for those who were let down, and untrue for the others.  Not really saying much in this thread.

Dont know, dont care. I have enjoyed myself more than in a MMO the last 10 years these 2 last days. A lot more.

If you guys bought it and decides it wasnt enough for you too bad for you.

But there is one huge difference between GW2 and TOR: You can actually feel how much work ANET put into their world and engine. In TORs case it is the VO you can feel.

apparently there is no sustainable model.  PPL have poo poo'd, Freemium, B2P, P2P, and everything else.  LOL, in fact, they are all losing money and they will all be closing up shop in the next 30 days.

At the moment i'm on a guild with over 50 people.

I asked what the general idea was about the game, except for lag issues and people not liking overflows /  EB queues, everyone said the game was way better then they anticipated.

So i guess, it overstates the hype for some people.

60 people in my guild, same consensus... everybody is having a blast despite the small overflow and guild problems.

I can't facepalm hard enough...

1. GW2 is nothing like GW1 at all. I can't think of a single thing the games have in common gameplay-wise. 

2. The only "MMO aspect" GW2 is missing compared to oher current MMOs is the gear grind.

There are lots of things you could complain about, but missing features are not one of those.

 While some fanbois literally did call GW2 the messiah...it was called Jesus by the detractors of the game far more than the fans.

99.999% of the time, hype for anything is way beyond realistic expectations.

One thing for sure:

GW2 is a well crafted. beautifully rendered and enjoyable game.

I guess its hard for either of you to acctually READ what I wrote?

I was talking about sustaining a community. This game will end up being a giant lobby for pvp queues and matches in 3-4 months. 

No doubt the fanboi's will poo poo any opinions that run counter to thier own, it happens with every game and GW 2 will be no different but when the new car smell wears off the truth will be a painfull pill for some to swallow.

Yeah, same with my buddies and guildies. But long term it is impossible to make any judgment whatsoever.

And I think GW2 will have a lot more people playing once or twice a week than games like Wow.

I know everyone's experience is different, but I just can't see where all this "single player" talk is coming from.  I've grouped more and talked to more people, that weren't friends or guildies, this weekend than I have in the last couple of years in other games.  People are a lot more willing to do stuff together since there is no penalty for grouping or worrying about ninjas and gankers like other games.

hahahaha

Hype is personall.

IMHO, the only mmorpg in recent times did did in fact not meet it's "general" hype was SWTOR. It's in a completly different level.

Why can't people just wait 1 or 2 month after launch before makin these threads?

It's a shame most people find the game a disappointment.
