Feedback -- PAX Prime Edition

Phazor

Glad to see you guys are actually giving Guild Wars 2 a chance. When it was mentioned during the Gamescom Feedback, pretty much the only thing the two guys who went had to say about it was a joke. If you look at the MMOs coming out in the future, we basically have 3 big games. FFXIV, The Old Republic, and Guild Wars 2. FFXIV looks like it's going to flop pretty hard. The Old Republic looks like it will do well (mainly due to the fact that it's Star Wars), but at its core, it's still a WoW type of MMO. With Guild Wars 2, you're getting an entirely new type of MMO experience. Dynamic events, action oriented combat, in-depth RPG elements (and I don't just mean you talk to people and there's an inventory).

While WoW is still going strong, that type of MMO is going to slowly phase out. All MMOs that have tried to follow WoW's example have failed simply because people aren't going to quit a game that they've invested so much time in just to play another MMO that's extremely similar. Many of the games have started to stop the need for monthly fees (Lord of the Rings Online is the latest example). It's going to take something new and groundbreaking (like GW2) to completely change the MMO market.

So basically what I'm saying is: Listen to all of us who are telling you to pay attention to GW2. One of you did, and look how pleasantly surprised he was!
