Ive checked this out. Ive never been a fan of this sort of game, but a few questions and i might try it out...

Is it free...eg like WoW where you play online?
What is the main aim/concept of the game?

It's similar to WoW in that it is a Fantasy MMORPG. WoW isn't free :p, but it's like WoW, yes, you download the client and all that jazz, do quests, PvP, level up.

It costs $60 to buy the game, but there is no subscription fee.

The aim of the game is to level your character, and then do whatever you want, pretty much.

I know a couple of people that I can hopefully organize into a group, but maybe I will have to bother Ogluk to let me play with him,

Tiger dude, its gunna be like £46, pretty cheap if you consider what it is (admittedly downright extortionate compared to GW1, but oh well)

and KD if you wanted to play with me, you'd have to get the EU version of the game (assuming NCSoft don't change how their servers work etc) :p

I also go to college. lol.

Just saying $60 and no sub fees for an MMO is a steal.

Well, GW2 has a lot more going on compared to GW1.

Yeah, I'm going to have to see what's going down with the Americans. Hopefully they do it like Blizzard does it.

There'll probably be a 10 day free trial, a few years after release :p or possibly there might be a code with people's purchases, in which case I'd be happy to pass such a code on to you :p

**** me thats expensive... and if GW1 is anything to go by you'll be expected to pay to get the other new areas. It's not TOTALLY the whole one fee thing.

Saying that i'll be on a work placement next year so i'll have a lot of free time, will probs pick it up and dabble on it. Looking forward to playing a flaming cat.

I'll definitely be playing, I didn't go in to the closed beta so the one BWE is my only experience so far. I played an Elementalist up to about 15, which I think will probably be my main, and then Guardian, Warrior and Necromaner up to 4-5 just to get a feel for them.

I think the chars all get deleted for the next BWE, so I'll probably play with a Mesmer mainly this time, and try out the others that I missed.

For an MMO, especially one without a sub fee, it's pretty reasonable.

On a side note, I was just looking to see if any retailers have it cheaper, and I came across Play.com trying to charge £400 for the Collector's Edition. Four ******* hundred English pounds.

I've seen quite a lot of coverage of it (Yogscast, TotalBiscuit, OMFGCata) and I'm finding it very... Meh. It just looks like another MMORPG, more PvP orientated, but I'm not all that excited for it. I'll probably stick with WoW..
