I played SWG pre NGE and post NGE. I only play now when they offer free time and mainly for nostalgic reason.
Both "games" are outdated specially the graphics and think even many free to play mmo's are far better.

Maybe also take a look at Runes of Magic. http://www.runesofmagic.com

From the feature list:

1. Free2play: no monthly fees, free download
2. Epic crafting system with the chance to improve existing items
3. Housing from the beginning: personalization of houses through
   individual furnishing

I have signed up for the beta, but have not been chosen yet.

the feature list looks good, but graphic looks a bit old.

"The original Guild Wars will continue to be supported after release of Guild Wars 2. This will include continued holiday events and tournaments."

No 'vet trial' for me this time it seems. Think it was more than a year ago I last had 'vet trial'

If you want to play GvG you most likely need all 3 campaigns and the expansion. Of course it all depends how serious you want to play pvp.
If you get Factions you can play Alliance Battle(AB) and for that pvp you dont need all the skills. In AB you make a team of 4. When the battle starts two other groups of 4 players also plays on your side. So AB is 12v12.
There is no constant best ele/mesmer build, it changes as the Arenanet often make skill changes. But you can have a look here: http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

You can get all the files you are missing in one go by making a copy of your GW shortcut. In that new shortcut you select properties and add - image to target field, so it may look like this: "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image
Remember space before -image. That shortcut will only download new files you dont have. If you want to start the game after download you need to use your normal gw shortcut.

I have the boxed version and i have just checked there are no voice over in intro cutscene. So boxed version and download version have same game content.

There are no voice overs in the cutscene for the intro as far as i know. If there are no subtitles i think there is no voice over.

I guess you mean the Guild Wars Factions Cinematic that you also can download from here

I think there is much more than a year to release of GW2, considering the usual delay of game development and the very little info so far including the absence of screenshots.

Im looking forward to Aion. I was also hoping to see SUN online this year but now i almost think that they will never release it outside Asia.
Also hoping Guild Wars 2 gets to beta in 2008 and im lucky to get in.

Subscription fee is getting more and more old school as i see it. Just look at ArchLord, Swords of the New World and RF Online. They all started with subscription fees (optional for SotNW), but now they are free to play.

Of course you can use subscription fee, if you feel you have a good product and the users/players feel they get value for money. In this case I think 9.99 euro is not worth what you get extra.

To me that trailer was kind of ordinary boring and unimpressive. Didn't see any particularly funny parts. I have seen better and more funnier trailers.
