i expected GW2 to enter very high, but... phew.

GW2 8.57
TOR 8.44
Aion: TOR 8.44
FF XIV:TOR 8.43
 

the fanboys are already upping their games hype and downrating GW2.
 

"it's not even a trve MMO!!!111"

gimme a break.

Yeah it's definitly gunna be high up there. I have been expecting it sence 2 years ago when the initial rumors poped up. Fanboys can go blow a hole in the water. GW2 and GW1 is definitly a MASS MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ROLE-PLAYING GAME. Some have seem to forgotten the meaning of an MMORPG. GW2 is just not going to be as linear as its predeccesor which is a godsend. GW1 only true flaw was its reliance on its instanced world. Its the same reason that I would never want dot.hack.sign to become a MMORPG. I don't want to just jump from town to instance over and over again. Even though those instance world Open worldt in .hs I still wouldn't want it. Bah im rambling now :P

How long have you been at this site?

Every newly entered MMO starts off with max hype. It deteriorates over time into what its stable hype level will be.

In other words, wait a couple of weeks to see the true hype level.

That's also why SW:TOR and Aion magically dropped from 8.51 to 8.45. It'll even back out.

QFT, when a new MMO enters the charts it "breaks" other MMOs for a while, don't worry as they'll stabilize soon. It's nothing to do with fanboy or hater swarms, but a system overall calculation instead.

I don't think it's any surprise. But I think what he was saying is that because GW is like the WoW of F2P that most people either Love it or Hate it, giving it's new model/game a lower hype rating than the current hyped games. Of course Hype jumps ship, its natural.

That's not the point. It doesn't matter what hype people give it now because it's not stabilized yet. It's a system problem with MMORPG.com. Like I said, wait a while before you believe the hype level. Yeah, it sounded like the OP thought people were giving GW2 0's and 1's, and "upping" their game's hype level, but that doesn't make any sense, either. Just read some of the hype comments people posted and they're mostly positive, which leads me to believe that GW2's final hype level will still be in the top 7; probably #3 or 4.

I think I understood what you meant, it was kind of tricky though.

Yea was quite surprised that GW2 took the cake, was expecting to place high but 8.6 that's insane and just blew out TOR.

It's new so people are going to vote it high... give it a few more weeks and it's score will come back into line with those that have been around a bit longer.

Yeah I completely agree. I was just stating the natural view of how a person would be surprised in it's massive jump to number 1 for some time. I do concur it'll be around the top 7.  There still is quite some time till it's release. It's like waiting for a Square Enix game to hit the states. IT TAKES FOREVER!

Sure, but i didn't expect it to enter the charts THAT high, either. Some people almost despise GW1 because it's instanced, has no monthly fee, and isn't really a true RPG, either. And my quote was a real one and it's obvioulsy one of those knee-jerk hater-comments. I expected more of that and GW2 not really becoming one of the top-games. Looks like i was wrong ^^

Yeah who cares WHY it's on top the fact is.. it IS on top. That's what matters :) 

 I guess ArenaNet's strategy of complete silence for 2 years has worked out. Now fans of the game pretty much fill the cup every time something new about GW2 comes out. ;)

 OR it could be the fact that only 150 people have voted so far. Mean while the other games on that list already has thousands that have voted... So yeah...

Certainly can't wait for this game. Arenanet = awesome! :D

Is there a point to the hype meter?

In anycase it's on my most wanted list of games for sure.

Not on the top anymore...wonder if this thread had anything to do with that... ;)

From what I have read... that heavly instanced world of GW1 will be the same as GW2.  That is why I am waiting for more information to come out before I make any decision to keep on following GW2. I hate it when they say extensive instanced gameplay, sends chills down my spine.

Only missions and dungeons are instanced. The rest will be a massive online persistent world.

I hope it stays on top I hope the game I am waiting for falls off the hype chart. Hype is not good for a game, because it sets unreal expectations.
