I have to say I really had a blast ingame communications wise. I did not see a single negative, trolly orbarrensy comment during whole weekend. I transferred to a new server first thing friday when servers opened and all the chatter was with this really friendly undertone, never seen anything like it in MMO. Maybe I was just lucky with my server / map choice but I was really impressed by how people responded to each other with lots of helpfull responses.

People on Petrified Forest (unoficial rp eu server) are cool. And they don't scream at people who don't rp =P

The playerbase was awesome, the game was awesome, had a great time :)

All MMO's are even more dead to me than they were :P It was great finding people in WvW and meeting them again in PvE. Even early on you start to get a feel for who the good leaders/fighters in WvW are ect.

I don't care much of what people say on this forum about the game, it is all taken with a grain of salt to me. What I do care about is the people I am going to play with. Just for kicks while I was playing I asked if people were having a good time. Video. I know it's a short video (youtube is so slow uploading) and it may not be like this on every server but every time I ask, everyone is loving it.  The true mmorpg players are loving the game!  If you are here complaining about GW2 with constant negative replies, please make it permanent. :)

Edit: I forgt to add. I was in a recently released mmorpg and the conversation in the game was pretty much disgusting/immature. I want to point out that I have seen no chat about mom's or the normal childish crossroads chat.  It may change but usually during a beta the freaks come out and it gets very wrong during discussion. I was expecting with the free beta keys that it would start but it hasn't. 

What server are you on? mine is full of immature trollish individuals, worse than Tera. Guess it depends from server to server and i ended up with wrong crowd.

Unlucky! I recommend a server change then :) Fissure of Woe was awesome. I think the only 'moaning' going on during the weekend was some people debating whether using other languages apart from english in chat was generally worth doing (considering it's a european server, but normally english is standard), but that wasn't flaming, and people came to the conclusion that different chat channels for [map] for different languages would be good in PvE at least.

Ive not seeing any bad chat. I played mostly WvW and had great time but i can't say if the GW2 fans are great there was hardly any chat only for WAR purpose in /MAP channel and for rest not much communication ingame between players.

But we all help each other and we could even without chat still as group manage alot.

Besides some crashes and some minor bugs i had a blast this weekend.

Have to agree. I was surprised at how friendly everyone was. However the game is really set up to encourage team play and the revive is a great touch to really feel like you are being helped or helping someone else.  Other MMO's only a healer could rez a fallen comrade, in GW2 everyone is pulling up the fallen.

Loot drops don't have the same competition and the way missions, dynamic events are set up, it does feel like everyone is in it together. 

I got into some WvW PvP and it was a load of fun and pretty supportive. I think not paying a sub makes everyone chill out more.

Hope it keeps going this way.

I found out first hand why people doing DEs or playing in WvW didn't talk all that much. I ended up dead quite a few times, because I was too busy typing something and couldn't dodge out of the way. xD

Otherwise I had a blast. Some guy asked me for help with a skill point, we ended up teaming up and later we picked up a ranger we found dead on the way to another skill point. Then we did some events together until we stumbled upon a group event so I asked if there were people in the area/around the event level wishing to join us and we got more than one group going. After that a few of us went on to WvW, but I was having some pretty nasty lag so I had to leave.

The general chat was also pretty nice and people in general were very helpful and answered questions. :)

When people come here and talk crap defending their other MMOs like it's going to matter.

And saying "Nothing will kill WoW"?

 

Well, I played in ALL GW2 BWE's and I must state as a **FACT**, GW2 KILLED WoW for ME!

 

So for at least one person, it IS true.

All the GW2 haters, say what you have to say and go back to your OTHER MMO. Your wasted time coming here trying to justify yourselves or to prove to us that GW2 "sucks" is moot. HAHA

 

As to the original post. I'm loving GW2 and can't wait for release. :-)

GW2 has pretty much killed every other game for me.  It's not just a WoW-killer, it's a multi-genre slayer.  I started playing single-player games because I had given up on MMORPGs. Now I can't stand the single-player games because of GW2.

Well, at least I can spend all my free BWE-Tweener time working cuz I actually enjoy my work.

The closed beta crowd in Aion was very helpful and nice.  When open beta came, all of the tards came out and it seemed like more people kept to themselves and were less likely to help each other.
