Guild Wars 2 blowout imminent
What? An unsubstantiated headline isn’t good enough for you? Gosh, people these days. Well then, Evidence A: the Guild Wars 2 Twitter feed has come online, albeit in the form of a small trickle of info. Evidence B: the Guild Wars 2 website‘s sporting a fashionable new splash page in anticipation of something. And finally, Evidence C: ArenaNet boss Mike O’Brien is teasing as though his life depended on it.
“Last week I promised you’d get your first glimpse of Guild Wars 2 ‘very soon now.’ That day is almost here,” he said.
“Guild Wars 2 is going to be a huge leap beyond the original. We have the best team in the industry executing at the top of their game, and I’m very proud of what our team has accomplished so far. As I said last week, I’m confident that when you get your first look at what we’ve been working on, you’re going to love what you see. Stay tuned for an exciting week ahead.”
No need to look towards the horizon, folks. Guild Wars 2 is right in front of you.
Thanks, Kotaku.

Oh, this could be good.
This could be really, really good.
“Is this one going to be no monthly payment too?”
All suggestions say yes, though don’t call me on it.

been playing gw1 for 3 years. been a member of the we hate pve (pve) guild. and i hope i’ll have the honour and the opportunity to play with some of those ppl again in gw2.
@chickenbutt no, no monthly fees as usual. they said that a few years ago.. these r some of the very few ppl in the mmo industry that don’t want to steal your money, prodiving top quality content for the least amount of money, like valve does in the fps industry.
@Michael O’Connor lol! suggestions..!? nvm.

actually, let me do it for u: “A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMOG or simply MMO) is a video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and feature at least one persistent world.” and “MMOGs can enable players to cooperate and compete with each other on a large scale, and sometimes to interact meaningfully with people around the world. They include a variety of gameplay types, representing many video game genres.” which means GW is an MMO. owned, again. this is so boring..

The creators of the game themselves declared its not a mmo . Case closed .
Besides even by your definition , GW has yet to feature any kind of persistent world . it’s an awesome game , way better than most mmo actually , but it’s not one .
