“Five years ago we set out to develop a game that finally fulfilled the promise of online worlds”, said O’Brien, president and co-founder of ArenaNet. “We questioned everything that had previously been taken for granted and we never settled for ‘good enough’. Now, we’re finally ready to introduce Guild Wars 2 to gamers who are looking for the next evolution in online gaming”.The event will begin at 5pm AEST for those who have pre-purchased the MMO. However for those who have only pre-ordered the game, you aren't being left out with ArenaNet planning for a one day headstart on Monday 27th August at 5pm AEST.
“Guild Wars 2 is launching at a time when players are looking for something different in an MMO: a game that offers them an innovative and unique experience without a monthly subscription”, said O’Brien. “Guild Wars 2 is that game, and we believe it will fundamentally change the way people think about online RPGs”.
Guild Wars 2 will be officially available to all on Tuesday 28th August at 5pm AEST.

No one likes to do just raiding. PvE is the endgame, PvP is the endgame, A world filled with stuff to see and do and explore is the endgame.

That is because in Guild Wars 2 case the whole game is the end game, because you can go anywhere whenever you want and do whatever you want. You can go straight into PVP and fight World vs World vs World if you feel like it; or you can jump into a random event and smash some giant dragon face, it is all up to the player for once.
I think that is what sells and makes Guild Wars 2 so much more unique compared to WoW or other MMO's, it puts the emphasis on the player enjoying the content at their own pace and not feeling like they have to rush to cap level in order to enjoy the game. Being able to roam around and enjoy each and every part of the environment without a constant reminder is what a truly fun MMO should be about.
