yes, actually, about half the games that get released do not deserve harddrive space. Nor should they ever been made.

While I will check this game out, it seems to me making an MMORPG that requires a monthly payment is a stupid move these days. A move that is sure you not land you as many subscribers as you'd need.

Actually, not going to check it out. It's signup is being a pain since i already have a funcom account. So whatever, if they make it f2p later maybe I'll check it out.

It sure is a good way to make your company go bankrupt faster. Building for F2P with a non-greedy cash shop that isn't pay 2 win is the way to go.

Not saying the game is bad, just saying until WoW's population drops another 5 million or so, the majority of people willing to spend a monthly fee on an MMO are already playing one, and even the ones that are willing to spend a monthly fee are getting GW2. Which ironically launches for non pre-purchase customers on the same day as this content update.

Whats funny about this is i'm rarely hearing people talk about it. It's all GW2 this, and GW2 that. It's probably just initial hype, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of WoW players end up going back after playing GW2 for awhile. I hope GW2 becomes the next big thing.. I really hope they didn't botch level 80 content. Orr sounds amazing.

Even if gw2 fails they already have so many games sold and will probably sell more at launch that they will be fine. I hope it dosnt suck but if it does i dont think that they will care lol

The game is amazing smile.gif im loving it at the moment! And there is a one off payment option for £150 tongue.gif.

I would definatley recomend people try it, as they have said they are going to do a monthly updates which will have new "avatar options" missions, weapons and weapon types (they have added rocket launher .. what? this month and chainsaw next)

But its not a mmo for everyone, therre is allways kids in the chat compining as they can not find something or they cant translate the morse code, or they cant figure it out rolleyes.gif
