Guild Wars 2

[Bloo]

To be honest, for videos just look at this thread:

There is a tonne.

...I can't watch that many videos about one game... Anything in there about the assassin class? Backstabbers ftw.

In a word, no. There aren't any videos with an assassin class, they only revealed the necromancer.

They are still with holding information to make the players more excited about the game. I am interested in the lore of the game but I never played the prequel though.

The first is a little silly to be said, since it's basically Marketing 101 for games companies.

In terms of the lore though, this should set you out - http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Lore

It's still at least 6 months from release, so it's pretty obvious they're holding back some information about the game.

They also operate a policy of only releasing information that has been heavily nailed down. So high-end PvE, competitive PvP, the informal World vs World (vs World, the matches have three sides apparently) are still in flux, so they won't be releasing info.

And yeah Oric's link is a good place to learn the lore, and the article below also gives a good summary of what happens in the 250 years between the two games, though it was released in like 2007 so some parts have probably changed.

OK, I'll come clean. Whilst I've been posting hate about this game, I'm quite intrigued as to how this will turn out. I'll probs end up playing it (assuming it keeps off the subscription fee train), but will probs ditch it in favor of WoW anyway just for a little different flavor, so don't rely on be as an active member. But that said, I'd be up for rolling some sort of caster DPS.

They're staying subscription free, and I think Anet do want to cater to casual play as well as hardcore: play it for a week two to begin with, then go do something else and play again every so often for a few hours. And Chalex wants the game, do you think he of all people will be an active member?

Also uhh as an update:

Necromancer officially released on the site, the skill videos are damn fucking creepy. The class looks fun overall, it has a unique death mechanic to boot, but not really my style.

Those skills look great.

I just learned that grinding in GW2 will not be the same as other typical MMOs. I think they said that the time you will be spending leveling (ex. from lvl 6 to 7) will be the same with in higher levels.
