****Lemme clear this up right now before post, this is NOT a versus thread, it is an impression/expectation thread. The sole purpose is to gather the opinion of the community of what they feel about Guild Wars 2 and what they expect the game to deliver. I.E. Do you think the art is good? Will the free-to-play mechanic bring more appeal to new gamers? Could this draw attention from other MMO players? Will this do well? Will you play it? Etc.****

This thread goes out to every Escapist, regardless of MMO or genre. If you search the web for MMOs, Guild Wars has popped up once or twice and is arguably considered the 2nd most popular MMO of all time. But now Guild Wars has beaten the baddies and we've seen everything, so what better way to reset the world than a reawakening of dragons, an uprising of the undead led by a necromancer killed 300 yrs ago, cause one of the human kingdoms to nearly fall by a warmonger race of beast people, raise a species of plant people, and speed the timeline ahead about 250 yrs.

Guild Wars 2 take place 250 yrs after the first, and a lot of stuff happens in that time period. There's not enough time to explain the whole thing so go research it. With 250 years gone by, a lot Guild Wars fans are ecstatic about the game from the screen shots and gameplay footage we've seen of the classes. I wany to know how the other Escapists feel about it. ANet is really pushing the buck and experimenting with whole new quest systems, level caps, damage systems, classes, the removal of default character types, unique species, and crafting systems. Before you post I strongly suggest you look around on some of the other gaming websites and check out some of their articles and videos on Guild Wars 2.

With that all said, post away Escapists, what do you think about this new project?
