There will always be people claiming this or that game failed. You heard GW2 failed, I think it did not. And both opinions are equally valid. It may not be everyone's cup of tea and it may require a bit different mindset from other MMOs, but the point is you should only judge games you have played.

good commentary - i enjoy GW2 too but didnt want to get into a debate about it

And it's always like that !! I've seen at least two "Top Ten 2013 MMOs to come" videos of the bigger companies which also didn't even mention FFXIV ^^

While it's of course only my personal number one on the "can't-wait-for-list" (number two being Neverwinter :P), I really, really wonder why it isn't considered at least 5th - 7th spot. ;)

After 12 years of playing good games, sometimes waiting max 1 year for a good game to release, now i left with any hope with a good game release now or in the future. All mmorpg are booring, i heard gw2 failed, i was hoping for d3 that failed big time, sc2 is for hardcore no life pro and i play dota2 , i really need a good mmorpg

Your grammer hurts my eyes... and your lack of MMO knowledge hurts my brain... welcome to the site btw...

So you guys say that Archage could give me lot of fun like WoW and Lineage 2 did in the old days ?? :) but pvp kind of looks slow and the fight seems long and booring . I will take a deep look in Archage than but after playing so much time and having no game to play is pretty depressive :D

 

Allow me to help out there, I was in the CBT5 test, combat is about as  fast as World of Warcraft honestly. Great effort is focused on synergy between people though. An example would be the Ice arrow.

4 seconds cooldown

2 seconds cast time

does xx amount of damage

slows the  target for 4 seconds (important!)

Now when two slow effects from ice arrow stack on the target, it is encased in a block of ice for 30 seconds, quite similar to the ice trap in WoW.

What is important about this though, if you read the tooltip I gave, one person alone can never achieve this 30 second CC, you need another person casting at the same time roughly.

What if I told you I've been playing and enjoying the same MMORPG for 9 years, met the lead developer in person, and know others who have been playing for 10 years?

I would say tell me the name of this MMO so that I can look into it, and don't you dare say something I've already played or else I'll cry!

9 years and still having fun, there aren't much alternatives :)

i'd go for wow. if you liked it once, there is basically no reason not to play it atm. unless you (personal opinion) are bored by it, which i wouledn't understand then hehe

ArcheAge has siege battles if you join a faction on the 3rd continent.  Or you can become a pirate and hunt other players / sink their ships on the open seas, etc.  Steal crops from other players, murder players, go to jail, and such.

But it's not a PVP-centric game.  So if you are looking for instant action PVP everytime you switch the game on, you might stick with your other games, or try LoL.

ArcheAge has a big appeal to those interested in sandbox elements, with a mix of PVE, PVP, crafting, house decorating, teraforming (3rd continent), player-to-player relations / interactions, and so on.  Unless, it gets "westernized".

I'm really looking forwerd to ff XIV ARR aswell. I'm betting alot of us old veterans of ffxi will fall in love with it :). Played ffxi for years, always wonderd why i stoped playing that... for some reason after my computer crashed while doing a znm tier 4 fight i stoped playing ffxi. Now i wish i never left :(, but at the same time can't really go back to it with ARR coming out around this June.

Ok lot of positive feed back about gw2 here, i think i will give it a try soon :)

Well this thread is still fairly new and doesn't have "GW2" in the topic line.  Give it some time and the usual suspects will find this thread and try to set you straight about GW2 lol.

Your description makes it sound far more pvp orientated than the "go over there in a tupperware box to pvp" of wow.

It did sound that way .. whoops! hehe

I guess I should clarify about a couple points .. doing bad deeds in the world (ie against your faction) will land you in prison with a 30 minute cooldown from the game, when caught by the guards.  Theres a multiplayer minigame with a ball in prison, while you wait though (non combat pvp).  Prison cooldowns prevent aggressive PVP / griefing.

The sieges are orchestrated events between guilds only.  They are carefully considered beforehand, with intentional damage done to a rival guild.  They aren't something that anyone can just queue up for and drop in.  It would be a major event that guildies would want to show up for.  I believe there is a fixed time between declaring war and when the battle actually starts, so guildies know when to log on.

The pirate faction might be closer to free PVP (anyone can become one if they are very naughty), but you are hated by the civilized factions, as a drawback (kind of like being an enemy of Booty Bay in WoW .. except every town wants to kill you, not just Booty Bay..).  Pirates get their own safe havens /towns though, so theres that.

From what I gather, anyways.
