Its also when Counter Strike: Global Offensive goes live to the public. I'm going to be so occupied with the population growth by then =X.

Been waiting for this one...this last beta weekend should tell me if my system is up to it or needs a CPU/mobo upgrade (GPU is HD7870).

So its basicly 11-13 months behind schedule. I think they are working along the time lines that bilzzard did with dihhoblo 3

jn77 You're an idiot.

There was no public schedule - the game has always been under the "we will release it when its ready" umbrella.

I never thought I'd see the day where GW2 would come out before Torchlight 2. Can't wait!

I sure hope the game will live up to expectations of the THG community. I've been reading comments of the like of "GW2 will kill WoW", "SWTOR won't match GW2", etc. for the past year. I agree that the MMO genre is slowing down and that the f2p model is what will keep games going.

 

[electrontau]

Will it be hailed as WoW killer or join other duds, most recently SW: TOR? Only time will tell....

 

[Guest]

It's an MMORPG, not an MMOG...

 

[leongrado]

Finally: "IT'S READY!"

I'm pretty sure this is not a F2P game. Unless you consider paying $60 "free" which would make about 95% of the games out there "free" or "less than free". B2P (buy to play) would be a better term or you could even go as far as saying that doesn't fall under any model just as any game that's not an MMO and has multiplayer would not fall under any defined model.

It's also about the same time that the founders versions of Mechwarrior Online go live. Too many games, too little time. Mwomercs.com giant robots blasting each other ftw!

 

[burmese_dude]

Going to Vegas that weekend but I'm not going to be happy about it. Buffetts will just have to satisfy me for not being able to play GW2.

 

[Guest]

I've played 2 gw2 beta event weekends...this is a true next gen mmo with no sub fees. The micro-transaction stuff is purely cosmetic. The game is beautiful, dynamic, and interesting. It has been years since a game made me want to run home and play. This one is it. Worth every penny.

Just bought GW2 last night and played 3 hours for the stress test. It's good fun, very neurotic with all the people killing the same monsters, yet fun.
