I bet ArenaNet are just playing Skyrim all day long, trying to figure out a way they could introduce something even remotely close in GW2. 

'Course I'm just kidding. Although  I might as well not be too far off the truth. Lots of great and very original games came out this year, perfect occasion to see what other developers have done and wether it's possible to improve something in your own game. If GW2 comes out a better game at the end of all this wait, then it's a little ridiculous to complain. However, that doesn't mean that it will be a success either, only time will tell.

I support ArenaNet's decision. Release when ready.

When its done ! how i like it, but it offcause require a mature hardcore fanbase to deal with it. Something GW2 had a few years ago. With all the hype that have changed.

But if you want a good AAA mmo, don't expect to see less than 5 years development time today. And that we hit around summer 2012.

Honestly i didn't wanted to read the rest of your post Op after the first few sentences, i guess everything can be taken badely. But when you have a decade of a half of mmos that were throwed out the window because they needed to be launched before being finish for financial reasons obviously. And you have some companies says "fuck the investor directives, we'll do it our way because thats our job", then its bad? *roll eyes*

"When it's done." That's exactly what Id said about Duke Nukem Forever. They wanted to have that perfect game and wouldn't release it until then. And, well, we see how that turned out.

Ill play DC universe while i wait, ill wait till february i dont know if i can hold more.

Well, trying to make sense of your post caused a rather painful aneurism to develop in my skull, but...

[Mod Edit]

edit because the mod edit frakked up the entire point of my post:

The article was for the idea of "when it's done", so next time actually read through the article instead of basing it all on the first paragraph, especially when the point of the article is made clear in the very beginning of the second paragraph.

 But were they constantly showing videos of things from Duke Nukem? Its pretty clear to any rational adult that GW2 is moving forward all the time.

It's going to be the greatest single player mmorpg ever!

Wow cynical and rather impatient bunch here.  Seriously it's time to step back and relax.  The game is obviously making progress.  While you wait you could spend some time in TOR(amazing game).. LOTRO.. Lineage 2(not for everyone but for those of us with an old school bent it's pretty much the most free game I've played).. Skyrim.. TERA(if it comes out before GW).. or whatever else floats your boat.  Read a few books maybe.. it's not coming out tomorrow.. and I really doubt it'll release before fall 2012.. to be safe I'd not plan to see it until spring 2013.  Things happen but it's better than seeing a game you love fail because everything came "too little too late" as we all know that mmo gamer's are quite forgiving...

nice work  but maybe its me  but i dont see what the  writer  drawing skills have to do  with  gw2 release?, sure  gives the article a more personal and for some  interesting aproach but  could be  done just focusing on the game and arena net...still as i say  nice work and all
