Is this the wow-killer, or at least a serious contender? Check out the Ausgamers review for more information!

Amusing that Ausgamers score is featured even though they haven't released it in Australia yet..

Anyway, I'm really liking it. I wish I had more time to play it. :(


Also, I'm really looking forward to what they will build up to from here. Good times ahead!

Bring on Guild wars 2.

More and more people are open to MMO's now.

I'd love to play it, but I just don't have the time to give it.

Why must you make me laugh? I bet half those subs are gone in the next 6 months.

EDIT: Hehe. I don't mean to sound like a negative nancy. But I bet half those subs are gone in the next six months.
