well guild wars 2 is coming out sooner or later, but it is confirmed that it will come out.  So how many of you will buy guild wars 2?

 OOPS WAIT I MESSED UP 1 SEC DONT DO THE POLL YET

HERE IS THE CORRECTED ONE

In a word, Yes, I'll be getting it, preorder, any bonuses and doing my Hall of Monuments too

From what I have read thus far it sounds like they are making it a Free 2 play version of WoW with better graphics... basically adding more grind to GW1, Which I hate. Adding more of a story Which I like. Open world...which I am neutral about, and pvp/pve servers. Which from what i understand you can freely move around. The big downer for me is the level cap raise...Another grind fest is NOT NEEDED look at the list to your left, all but 2 of those games are GRIND FESTS I will not buy GW2 when it comes out. I will wait a month or 2 after to see and ask around about it If its a grind fest in any way then Ill stick to Guild wars 1 I know about 50 players in GW1 who already don't plan to leave for GW2 and im sure there are thousands of them out there, Sure lets say 80% of GW population goes to GW2 then of those 80% 30% come back because they didn't like it...there would be enough players to keep GW1 up for a while. Im just assuming this because its what happened with EQ1

Do a little more reading. ArenaNet have specifically stated that the level cap will be raised, but purely for cosmetic reasons. In other words, your skills and attributes will still be capped at level 20 as they are for example, but you can still gain levels. Those levels will mean nothing. It's a way of "rewarding" those players who put much effort into a single character. The casual and hardcore players will be catered for.

Anyway, I'll be pre-ordering the collector's edition if there is one.

Too just add to what Lydon said...  Remember you currently keep gaining levels in GW1 aswell...  the difference isyou get a skill point for each successive level rather than a new level...   all they intend to do is change thatto show howmany levelsyou actually have...   (which wouldcurrently make my Necro lvl 189, but fnuh)

I can't with certainty say whether or not I'm going to buy the the game until more information has been released. As it's now we've seen little of how the game looks or got information about any thing except the very "concept". I will most likely buy the game, but I'm not entirely sure that'll happen; other games may seem better or GW2 may turn out to be bad.

I don't really know if I'm going to buy this game. Hmm...

If its as instanced as the Original GW then no thanks... Im looking for an MMO not a single player game that you CAN play co-op on.

No I will not buy GW 2 why?

There just gonna do the same thing anyway!

After like a couple months of Gw2 being out an expansion pack will be released for it. then another one then another one.

At first I understood why..obviously they need to make money..and you get new content everytime like new features new classes new places etc

but it gets really irritating to buy expansion packs over and over

The level cap is going to be what? 30? no much different

Wow, so neither ofthe above two posters know ANYTHING thats already been said about the gamethen?

PERSISTANT WORLD, with Instanced missions for the storyline

Level Cap of 100 or higher, possibly infinate

Expansions may happen, but nothing is decided yet, they haven;t gotten to that point yet, however the Canthan, Factions areas won't be covered, although in the storyline, so they are open as a possiblefuture expansion

One of the most advertised features of GW2 is that it won't be instanced.

No one is forcing you to buy anything. Unlike WoW, new campaigns and expansions don't raise the level cap.
