Yeah. Forgot what day of the week it is.
So even though I didn't see the image I'm spoiled because of what people said in response to it. I don't care about being spoiled, but don't go saying what the picture was and then going into details about what it represented.
Spoiler:
It's like when people speculated about a character in Game of Thrones dying then people said "dude don't spoil" when he was guessing.

Nope, sorry. Go make your own guild for that. Pffffff
friends, family, etc are more than welcome. One reason why we got the other site so that non-GAFers can sign up
http://gafguild.com/index.php
Looking over a lot of the concept art, all I can say is "woah".
They can indeed, just have em sign up at GAFGuild.com and post in the sign up thread.
I forgot it was fucking steve blum
I'll donate 10 dollars to someone who is on the fence about buying this within the next hour.
edit: Oh Retro
whats a guild wars
That and also so when we get banned we can still communicate with each other on a forum lol...
I sense falsehood.
I, on the other hand, am having serious doubts about whether this game is for me...

If I didn't hate mmos with a burning passion I'd probably like this game.

Since some people are getting the pre-order items in an Email.
Does the people that pre-purchase from arenanet directly get the same Email?
This is because I have not received anything yet, not sure if everyone got theirs already.

You can buy upgrades to make it 500.

I couldn't get the name 'Computer' because it contained a 'forbidden word'. What the hell?

Hey guys, this question might have come up before, but as an Australian, is there a better version to buy? In regards to regions. I know Blizzard's games are typically better for us if playing on US servers. I have no idea how the servers operate here but I'd appreciate any thoughts.
I don't want to bring it into discussion, but in terms of combat, is this more real time than the Old Republic? The dodge mechanic has piqued my interest. It sounds appealing as I'm looking for something new. I'm just not sure if I'll find it here as I have no experience with Guild Wars whatsoever. Not needing to subscribe works great for me as I'm studying and will not have flexibility of time. This is actually a spontaneous purchase as I see it, so I'd like to be able to make a more informed decision before I lay my money down. Still weighing up options at this stage. Is it worth even trying to pre-order now at this point? Or should I wait for reviews?

Just to be clear that's basically a copy of the game for $10 if you make a case for it.
You can play on any server you want; for a little while after release, transfers are free as well so you can try out a few if you aren't feeling Stormbluff Isle (where GAF is rolling).
Also, through guesting, you can play with friends on any server with any character- the PvP mode WvW is all your home server really matters for.
The combat is waaaaay way more real-time than that, and quite fun in my opinion.
You may want to see above.
Very often. I assume it'll remain frequently during launch as well. Great thing about their server infrastructure is they don't require maintenance or anything akin to "patch days" of other mmos, they can update the game on the fly.
My cousin ordered it for me and he got the code pretty quickly, I was surprised. O:
I've been thinking about it. I've never played an MMO, and this game sounds like it has a lot more going on than loot and levels which intrigues me. Reading the OP in this thread and some previews has me super, super interested. I also like the idea that I don't have to pay a monthly fee to play. And to be honest, I haven't had a computer that can play modern games until, well, now. This would be the first PC exclusive that's new that I've been able to play in years.
DOO ITTTTT
Yup, I think that was one of Guild Wars 1's strengths too.

Indeed! Community discovers exploit and it goes viral? Patch that exploit up before the day is out (if they can code a fix that quickly).
ANET are closet ultrabook fans.

Thank you for your response. It's sounding more and more appealing. Consider my post my reasonings behind wanting a copy for $10. The idea of exploration playing a bigger role is just incredibly exciting, I love the idea of a world big enough to be lost in. It's what I enjoyed most about the Old Republic. Hunting down the Datacrons. The freedom of not having to subscribe though means I can do it at my own pace and take the time to truly enjoy the discovery of hidden views and locales.
The enjoyment I have with this game will determine whether I buy another two copies for my partner and his brother. We'd never played Diablo before jumping onboard with Diablo 3 and sharing that first experience with two others was just amazing. That's what I'm looking for in Guild Wars 2 or any MMORPG for that matter. This looks like it could be the one.
it's 500 accounts now.
If you got enjoyment out of exploring in TOR, this game will blow your mind.
:l The Go! Team is great. Not a particularly awesome version of Bottle Rocket though.
I don't even want to link him to any videos that show off the highlights.
35 at launch. Thirty-five.

Where is the cheapest place to buy this right now, I'm pretty hyped. Thanks in advance.
It was amazing. The one time they had maintenance for longer than like 4 hours was because they were physically moving their data-center and they apologized profusely for it. It was such a rare occurrence it made headlines across the gaming sphere.
