Re: Guild Wars 2
Since there's no subscription I'd certainly play it alongside WoW if I enjoy it. ^^

This 100%. Couldn't have said it better myself.Vephriel wrote:I've just been watching a video of the Beta (link) and it looks gorgeous! I think this is the first MMO other than WoW that's ever interested me. The graphics really appeal to me...they don't seem to have the dull realistic style like so many other games try (which I don't care for myself). It also has a nice varied fantasy setting, which is perfect as I don't like Sci-Fi/Space themes. I'll definitely be checking it out at least, it would be neat to get my hands on a Beta key some how.

Re: Guild Wars 2
Ya the moas in GWs look nothing like real moas. Big point, they have wings! Moas are the only flightless bird that realized "I'm not using these wings for anything. F them!" and lost them though evolution.
But more on the topic at hand, I'm finding myself agreeing with Vephriel. This is also the only other MMO besides WoW that has peaked my interest and I might try out. Especially if I can have my Hahadori by my side, even if she looks a bit... different.

Re: Guild Wars 2
That thread sounds a bit too crazy for me You forgot to add "then the Maoris ate them all" XD But still even with that I'll give the game a shot! first MMO with that "realistic" style I kinda like the look off!Wassa wrote:Reading about GW's moas here made me curious so I went off to find pictures on how they looked. I ended up finding a huge thread of people complaining about how they look and even saying WoW's tallstriders and even Final Fantasy's chocobos copied GW's moas look. I don't know much about GW but I know it came out after WoW and you can't even argue when chocobos first appeared. I had a good laugh.

Re: Guild Wars 2
There's only a 48 hour window to get in for now. I assume this is first phase of the Beta and they'll open it up to more people later on. However, this brings it's release date even closer. =D

Like I said... if on the off-chance they are allowed to post, that would be cool to see.TygerDarkstorm wrote:Under a closed beta with a NDA in place, people getting into the betas probably won't be allowed to post pics until they decide to lift the NDA.
