if you don't think guild wars 2 is the sexiest thing to be looking forward to in the ever-expanding list of future mmos, then you obviously haven't been on the internet lately to know it's coming.
well, it is.
one look at the promises this game has to offer and, if you can get past your natural cynicism (we've heard it all before - it will be different yada yada), then it looks simply amazing. could it be we'll finally have npc wandering around who don't have a big yellow exclamation mark on their forehead like some derpsign? could we finally have a game with some kind of ebb and flow of situational questing so we're not forced to move on to the next area and never return to the starting zones without feeling all weenie again because the only reason we returned was a reroll?
could pvp finally be properly incorporated into a fantasy mmo?
will this at LAST topple wow?
one thing guild wars is good at is self-development. it hasn't caved in like many mmos. the fact it's pretty free to play has helped, but if you've tried guild wars you'd know it's got some interesting ways of looking at how an mmo should be. the only reason i don't play a lot of guild wars is trivial and may sound odd to you - i don't like running at a 3/4 angle. the animation in guild wars made me cringe and was distracting. running straight ahead in guild wars felt like when i was strafing ahead in wow. i'm hoping they'll fix this.
the "painterly" style of guild wars looks equally exciting.
truthfully, i'm looking forward to guild wars 2.
