It's over. That was the last beta weekend until release on August 28th.

Even with the three day head start I feel like this month is going to go by soooo slooowww.

I came home from work and was ready to play and then remembered the event was over...

Guess its time to work on some of that steam backlog.

Meh, I didn't even play this beta weekend really. I'm waiting till the full release.

Still debating buying it - £50 is an insane price for a standard edition, sure its not pay monthly but still.

Think of it this way, no monthly fee and they don't have DLC or "expansion packs".

If thats the case, the game wont last that long what happens when the majority of the people are at lvl 80 in the best looking gear (seeing as gear item dont affect performance) the game wont last that long if there is no way to progress when everyone has the best looking gear, highest PvP rank, 100% game completion, ect

I would be expecting DLC/Expansion if they want the game too last

There will be expansions, like any other MMO out there. You do have to buy them. But still free to play.
£50 is a standard price.

There is potential for GW2, its not small by any means.

Did GW have any that you had to buy?

Had - No. you could still play the game with the original version and do all the PvP stuff you wanted...that was the same.

But there were 3 expansions that added more PvE areas, new professions, skills for those professions, etc.

GW1 had the main game (Prophecies), 2 standalone expansion (Factions and Nightfall) that could be played without owning Prophecies but if you had it then you could use your same characters, and Eye of the North which required one of the 3 previously games in order to play.
