I believe GW2 was pushed back after the developers saw Blizzard's WoTLK x-pac (Just like Warhammer's developers pushed back Warhammer after Lich King info flooded out)

This could be a good thing. Maybe Anet will rip some ideas off of  WoTLK. Cause it Rocked, and is Blizzard best X-pac.

After seeing some of the recent updates to Guild Wars,,,,, I wouldn't be surprised if Anet decides to rip WoW's recent activities off.

You can already see the similarities between WoW's recent additions, and Guild Wars current update.

GW2 is pretty much finished but the release is delayed to give Aion a chance to launch.

NCSoft didn't want GW2 competing with Aion.

Interesting.  Are you a GW2 dev?  Aion's got all the ingredients to be a major hyperfail.  I'm as interested in trying it as anyone else but it's still a 3 year old game.  There are just way too many MMOs releasing soon that are a lot fresher.  Aion and GW are so different from each other.  Bliz should be the one worrying at this point.

BTW, what does it take to get GW2 listed as a MMO on this site anyway?

Uh.

According to what I've heard (not that I'm very interested in WoW in the first place), you need to raid in WoW to get the best gear.

So why is WoW that casual friendly ?!? Thats a bit surprising news to me. I think GW does a lot better than WoW in respect to casual friendly, and I can think of a lot of games which are about as casual friendly as WoW (all theses socalled "WoW clones", for a start).

WoW is casual-friendly (once you achieve Loremaster by completing all the quests) if you like fishing, cooking, jousting -- and if you hate decent looking/quality gear.

If I remember correctly you need evidence of a game.

It was announced March 2007.  Hopefully more info from the GW dev team and justice from MMORPG.com is iminent.

NCsoft is focused on Aion right now. GW2 will release after it rips  off eveything in WOW, cause everyone knows Blizz invented not  only MMO;s  but gnomes, dwarves and elves as well. Heck i bet Tolkien was a blizzard employee.
