Guild Wars 2

They've announced the rewards people will be getting for filling out their Hall of Monuments in the original with shiny stuff for Guild Wars 2! It works on a point tally system and gives players who've dedicated time in the original some little rewards for their loyalty. Their are 50 points in total to grab, and so far I have 20, though the items stop at 30 and it's only titles after that. So I've got 2/3's of the cool stuff already!

Might have to get back into GW to get all the items. Also other tidbits include:
http://www.arena.net/blog/gaming-out...ded-experience - Basically an app for your smart phone/ something you can use out of game for convenience. Great but nothing special.

http://www.arena.net/blog/live-and-l...gw2-dye-system - The Dye system explained for people who really like to customize their stuff. Interesting in a geeky way.

It is indeed a very interesting game that features several different classes. This game is featured very extraordinarily so that the gamer can entertain to their level best. It is designed with extraterrestrial battle fields where everyone wants to showcase this hunting and combat talent. Hand to hand and close combat are some prominent features of it.

I can't wait. I like the idea of personal story, plus I'm not really rolling in the dough right now so free to play seems awesome

Have you lot all pre-ordered this?

Nope, don't want to get distracted by the Beta weekends.

Na, want to see a bit more about the game and maybe some reviews first, I don't want another SWTOR episode where everyone stopped playing just before I was going to buy it and then we all went back to warcraft for 3months :D

Started to think about where I'm going to pick this up from. I'd quite like a physical edition but that would mean forsaking the 3 day headstart which would allow me to play at i46. I'm tempted to buy a key from here, almost as cheap as the retail versions and I get the 3 day headstart, but I generally don't like just buying keys from random websites. Other option is the GW2 official site for £50 but that's £15 more.

Give it 3 weeks max and people will be bored of it, doesn't look very good...
