I was bored and re-reading Which MMO Should I Play [http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1116616p1.html]? on IGN (prompted by a different post), when I noticed some footage [http://www.ign.com/videos/2008/02/27/tabula-rasa-pc-games-trailer-trailer?objectid=16535] I hadn't seen before on the now-defunct MMO, Tabula Rasa.
Since that game was also made by NCSoft, I wonder if some of the abilities or mechanics described in there might be implemented in Guild Wars 2. In particular, that Gravity Well (black hole?). Tabula Rasa may not have survived, but those abilities are intriguing, and some could fit nicely into Guild Wars 2's gameplay.

there is chatter, rumoring a release date of January 2011. that seems too soon to me, but that's what folks are saying. I have not been able to find the site they were referring to, so i cannot confirm anything or quote the page.Korten12 said:
From the Guild Wars Wiki:
GameStop [http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=guild%20wars%202] Still maintains a November 2, 2010 release date.
("Pre-order ships Nov. 2, 2010", whatever that means.)
The general consensus among game sites is GW2 will release in 2011, but nobody knows exactly when.
IGN [http://pc.ign.com/objects/896/896298.html] Reports a release date of November 2, 2011.Guild Wars Wiki said:

GW2 will probably be my first attempt at getting into MMOs (excluding Runescape, but that was terrible) unless i start playing LOtRO but the whole get the full game then never play again sounds pretty chill, and will probably get a few more sales just out of interest.
of coarse, how they plan to keep the servers up without monthly fees is unknown to me but if they can make it work i'll be happy.

That IS kinda funny. I think it will be somewhere between GameStop's and IGN's estimates. (haha! get it?)Korten12 said:hopes it not Nov 2, 2011, thats a bit far off.
Its kind of funny, the original beta was supposed to be in 2007 or 8. XD
I'm just hoping they add something new to the NYCC demo this weekend. That would be awesome.
It's not really a thread made for discussion value it's a thread made to keep you updated on the game.IHateDaManSkirt said:
OT: this game is just looking better and better i can't wait for it. I want it right now
So... a little more speculation today: The Crusader:
In the Guild Wars book, Ghosts of Ascalon (good book, btw. y'all should read it), several characters are referred to as "Crusader". Now, the narrative makes it clear that this is a rank in a certain order, but what if it is also a new Class? The archetypal "holy knight" paladin could fit pretty nicely into the "damage-control-support" structure, and be a nice replacement for the Monk class.
The Crusader could borrow some from the Diablo 2 Paladin for its special mechanics, Auras. I believe it'd be like party/ally wide buffs that would apply simply by being near the Crusader. Think sort of a cross between the Guild Wars Paragon and the Diablo 2 Paladin.
The Crusader's arsenal should focus more on the Mace or Hammer than swords, with the option for caster weapons like the Staff. The Crusader should also have some unorthodox weapon combos like dual wielding Scepters or Pistol and Shield (I'd say not double pistols). For longer range, a crusader would have a Rifle to play with, being already proficient with pistols, but also would have limited casting options.
Crusader skills would likely revolve around magically-enhanced melee and mid-range attacks. It would also be primarily support and control-focused, with skills to physically push around the foe and buff allies.
Possible problems: there is nothing "holy" regarded by the Asura and especially the Charr. Making skills and abilities around prayers and such wouldn't make much sense among those races. Surely there are ways around it...

Main Hand: Sword, Scepter, Pistol, Mace.
Off Hand: Scepter, Mace, Shield, Focus, Torch.
Two Handed: Hammer, Greatsword, Staff, Rifle.

oh yeah checked that out, its kind of hard to say it but I will add to the front saying something like...Kevlar Eater said:
