I had been subscribed to wow recently and I put probably 20-30 hours into the new expansion and while it's somewhat impressive I still don't think it can hold a candle to the value I'm getting out of GW2. I wanted to go back to EVE Online and now I can just because I won't let myself do two paid subscriptions a month. I can get both Fantasy and Sci fi with one monthly fee. 

Ahhh this is nice ^_^

Remember in the old days in MMOs when you couldn't even dodge and someone else had to heal you?

And you needed keyboard and mouse instead of joypad...

Actually, I'm one of the favored people who played Asheron's Call 1, so I also remember the opposite :) Yeah, even old school MMORPGs had dodging and the ability to care for yourself.

That's possibly why I enjoy GW2 that much.

PS: I welcome anyone playing with a joypad to duel me in any World vs World area of his choice, 1 vs 1. I will show him why mouse view is still superior to any stupid joystick-like controler, something which has been true since the early days of Doom 20+ years ago.

Well, pretty sure that's a safe challenge.

Haven't even seen my joystick in more than a decade.

Oh, you were flex-and-posing at the console guys.  Nevah mind.

Tell me I'm not the only one that snickered at that.

Strangely it brought up a memory of this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJSoYv-V1e4

Now, I'm confused but I'm sure I could make an internet montage if I had Maya.

Or you had to buy something that healed you, and you couldn't run away from a fight before you died.  Between attacks you had to wait for your health bar to fill when you had no potions or stim packs or use /sit...and jumping was an emote, not a skill.

Sit-jumping... I miss that from the Betas.

I think this game has the most to offer for no monthly fee.

Before Planetside 2 came out, I would agree with you.

Now, not so sure.

Also, Firefall is coming out too, which is also free.

Does Planetside 2 or firefall have PvE content?

Firefall does have pve not as exciting as it is with GW2 but a good side game though. 

For got to add for [me].

I think though with a lot of people playing it can be fun as well.

Interesting. I thought both of them were just MMOFPS with no real PvE content. Though that can be fun, I would still consider it more shallow than a rpg.

I remember before that, in Lineage, when I could do those things.  Not all games had guaranteed hits with gimped combat mechanics.  Self sufficiency isn't a new concept.

So I'm seeing... those games actually predate my MMO experiences. So... what happened? When did self-responsibility and self-sufficiency go away?

And aren't you glad it's back?
