They are taking the 'When it's done' approach.

They will be having a closed beta this year.

Yeah, I'm pretty keen for this, it's good to see someone actually trying to do something new with an MMO. Hopefully they have some sort of open beta to give it a proper whirl.

I don't care for "Soon" or "When it's done it's done" approach. They should set a date as a goal though they probably already have a date in mind but are not sharing with anyone outside development.

I was interested in Guild Wars 2 when I started seeing gameplay videos of it. Then I saw this and I was sold. I'm so hanging out for this it's not funny. The world they are creating seems really large too which is a great thing when it comes to MMOs as you want to feel like your a tiny person in this massive world.

Also regarding the size of the game world their underwater areas are actually useful with quests and cities etc. and all your skills change when you go under water.

Gday guys,

If you're looking for more video love for Guild Wars 2, I have just set up a video library with links to videos. This will be updated in the weeks to come with more info.

You can find the library at: http://www.nocturnalguild.com.au/2011/nocturnal-consolidated-video-library/

Oh, and if you're looking for a GMT+10 guild of mature, semi-hardcore players, try Nocturnal.

http://www.nocturnalguild.com.au/forums/ to sign up.

Hope to see you all in game!

Been looking forward to Guild Wars 2

Sick and tired of games like Ragnarok, Perfect World, Silk Road Online F2P myth bollocks

Went through all that during 2005 up until 2009. Had enough. F2P = Pay 2 Win.

Had a look at Guild Wars. Still this many years on and it rocks. Absolutely looking forward to GW2 with the real "free" to play mantra same as TF2 more or less.

I just managed to scrape together 30 points for my hall of monuments the other day. Was feeling pretty stoked about that. It seemed like I was going to have to grind some of the ridiculous titles to get clear but in the end I managed it by selling a bunch of my junk and dyes and such, doing some farming, and buying some stuff in trade channels to get the last point.

I like guild wars but you really need to play with other people to keep it interesting and people tend to come and go alot since it's free to play, so although I've got a full friends list I'll never know who will actually be online.

Still waiting on the last profession reveal. Seems doubtful it will be anything other than a Mesmer or something close.

I don't care for "Soon" or "When it's done it's done" approach.


Would you rather they adopt the other standard approach in the games industry?

"We'll be releasing on date X"
"Well that was woefully optimistic, we're releasing 1 year after date X"
"Oops, we're nowhere near ready, now it's date X +1yr + 4mths"
"Oops, we've hit a snag, now it's date X + 1yr + 4mths + 3wks"
"Last minute hitches, you're gonna have to wait 3 more days"
"Oh, sorry region Z, you'll 1-3 months after region Y gets it"

Press beta starting Feb, larger betas in March and April and confirms 2012 release.

We recently finished our first closed beta test, and we’re now ready to hold progressively larger events. In February we’ll invite select press to participate in beta testing, and in March and April we’ll aggressively ramp up the size of our beta test events so that many of you will have a chance to participate. And of course, this all leads to the release of Guild Wars 2 later this year.
