After 5 years away from the original GW, I recently purchased the trilogy version in anticipation of this game. I think GW2 will be absolutely incredible. Can't wait.
A little late to the showing of the trailer, but here is non crap player version.

@flint Because free-to-play is one of the worst terms to ever make it into common usage.
Strictly it's true, but I know for myself whenever I see the words "free-to-play" I think, "stay away", because you're going to be nickel and dimed far and beyond what you would have spent on just buying a $50 game outright, for far less content.

Guild Wars 2 is free once you BUY it. There's no hidden features or anything. Everything is free. The guys who made Guild Wars started out free before this F2P crap came out.
Anyways I'm very excited for this game but I HOPE my Dervish and Ritualist class make it back in. They were very invented, way more than the Assassin class that made it in 2 (now he's called the Thief). I'm pumped for the sequel, I just don'th understand why I saved my Dervish and Ritualist if I can't reap benefits from them.

@tekbunny: "Hoooolleeee shit. I hope this has wow killing potential. I want it to so badly..."
• A WoW-killer in the first three comments? That's gotta be a record! I've got bad news for you; this won't come anywhere near WoW. Not even in second place. That spot's more likely reserved for City of Heroes, when that goes Free To Play.
"Best of all, there are no monthly fees. So honestly, why wouldn't you give this game a shot?"
Pretty sad when the best part is 'zero monthly fees', but, what more should I expect from a game that isn't really an actual MMO, thus, doesn't have the traditional MMO cost requirements. Semantics? Maybe. I just want people to stop confusing this multiplayer RPG for an MMO.
Oh, and I was in full beta testing for Guild Wars(1), so I happen to have some insight on what I'm talking about.

There will be a store that allows microtransactions, but it will be all purely cosmetic features. ArenaNet is committed to this idea - you won't be able to gain any advantage or progress in the game with money. It will be totally optional.
Just like the first Guild Wars, you buy it just like other games, and you don't have to pay a subscription fee.

Actually, you don't know what you're talking about at all, it seems. Guild Wars 2 is not like Guild Wars. It actually is a fully persistent world, a true MMO.
Troll harder.

"so I happen to have some insight on what I'm talking about."
OH THE IRONY. That actually made me laugh out loud, thank you.

Um... You tell me how it's not a real MMO and I'll tell you how it is. I'll also tell you how it's improving upon the MMO scene, and how you actually have no insight at all if you think beta testing for a game makes you in the know.

@Rammstein Way to embarrass yourself . What other games do you judge by the quality of the BETA of the GAME BEFORE IT IN THE SERIES? It is a 'true MMO' with open environments now, In case you were still unclear on that.
@to all the butt-sensitive people: I was referring to the first game, obviously, since the second one isn't out yet and even if there was a Beta, I'd not play it since I learned my lesson the first time around with the first flop of a game. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the game.
