Once again EvE paved the way and the other companies follow.

Also notice how they talk about their markets. Someone are taking tips there!

Ironic that I left GW for Eve because they destroyed PvP by letting the inmates run the asylum and crashed the economy because of devs and their fanboi alphas cheating.

Sound like any game you know?

Would anyone be able to explain to me why GW is so great? I tried the 1st one multiple times and it was boring as all hell.

How do you have an economy in a game where the resources are infinite and anything youd ever need you could easily get yourself?
Literally the only thing anyone there needs to do is dig down to find anything youd ever need

I think GW was popular cause it was free.
I didnt like it cause the movement had weird pathing and you couldnt even jump

GW2 indeed looks good.

Though I can't help but scratch my head at the pre-purchase thing. Why is beta access only guaranteed to people who pre-purchase (and thus pay in full upfront) rather than people who simply pre-order (reserve a copy and pay 10% of the price). Kind of a red flag to me. Not to mention that NCSoft is involved - I realize they're just a publisher but they're sort of like Asian EA, and their last MMO, Aion, didn't do so well.

But hey, let's think positive.

I can't wait for GW2 - Finally some PvP with a purpose again. I hope it can come close to the fun that DAOC was back in the day.

AM kinda cuirious why this hasnt been moved to out of pod as we arent talking about EVE anymore

Goons; infiltration at its best - first bob... now ccp itself. They dont realize you guys dot take this as "just a game". Bring it down guys, we're rooting for you.

My personal love for Guild Wars is a financial bias. It was the first MMO I could afford back in the day, so it has that soft-spot "first date" sort of feel to it.

Because the resources were not infinite and they left a known exploit in the game.

And while minecraft was a good guess i was referring to eve.

Ah, well I suppose that's how Anarchy Online is for me. When I joined that game, I had no idea what an MMO really was. I spent money given to me by my new "peers" to buy social clothing and used the same Agent rifle for, I don't know, 30 levels?

So I can see where you're coming from.
