All of my friends will be playing TOR while no one I know will be playing Guild Wars 2. It's clear that I'll be playing TOR.

I know general details about how Guild Wars is supposed to revolutionize the MMO with an ongoing changing world and enemies attacking NPCs, etc. I'd rather not spend 40 minutes digging through info on a game I'm not enthused about, no offense.2xDouble said:
If the new Guild Wars system actually works, then yes I might buy it. I'm just going on by performance here though; BW has impressed me with almost every game they've made, and the developers of Guild Wars have never impressed me. I'm just going with the safe choice here.
Not even close. Even though I've played Guildwars for 6 years, thus giving the illusion of bias, Guildwars 2 is by FAR the better of the two.
The Old Republic looks like it'll be generic as shit, incredibly cumbersome to play and it's ugly as sin. No thanks.

I've kinda lost interest in The Old Republic and the more I hear about Guild Wars 2 the more I want to play it. The classes are interesting but from what I've seen it just doesn't look fun to me.
From what I've seen from Guild Wars 2, I'm actually pretty excited for the game. I've never played the first one, it never caught my interest, but this one looks like a ton of fun to play. Plus I bought a Charr plushie, so I guess that means I'm committed to it.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm merely correcting your previous assertion that Guild Wars is "just about PvP" with the first 40 minutes of the game (if you're an Iron Legion Charr and don't start your Personal Story missions). If you're strapped for time and find yourself curious, the first video alone paints a fair (if incomplete) picture.cdstephens said:
I'm excited for GW2, but a little apprehensive about their "innovative" new system. I'm always a pure support, or healer, so it will be new and hopefully exciting. Dynamic events sound delicious to me as well.
As for TOR, I never got into Star Wars as a game. I'll probably look for reviews on it when it comes out, but I don't see myself playing it.

Yeah but it's bioware. I mean even though both ME2 and DA2(apparently, I haven't played it) were rather poorly written compared to bioware's standards I think thats because they were both made during the developement of TOR so they had pulled a lot of the writers off to work on it. That's what I'm hoping at least.Worgen said:
Probably neither but possibly Guild wars 2. Guild wars 1 is one of the few MMO?s I didn't get bored of in a week and I never really liked Star Wars. I also don't like subscription fees. I would rather buy expansions every now and again.

I don't know, I mean, so far the story I'm seeing for me3 looks rather bad and I don't see how it can end without them finding an "I win" button... doesn't help that I'm also just sick of starwars, I don't think it was the right universe for bioware to use, its too limited, if it was a mass effect mmo then they could do allot with it creatively but since its starwars, lucas has to have a hand in it and there is a certain way everyone expects it to look and sound.Reet72 said:
If I get either it will most certainly be GW2. First, because it looks and sounds like it will be pretty cool. Second, because it won't require a monthly subscription fee (after playing LOTRO and getting all the goodness it provides with no monthly cost there's no way I'd pay a sub fee again). Thirdly, I have absolutely zero interest in anything Star Wars related so even if GW2 didn't look miles better I still wouldn't touch TOR with a 10 foot pole.
