In all honesty, it is looking very good already. No subscription fees? How can this game not win millions of fans?

Thing i love about free to play MMO games is that you can spend as much time on them as you like, and you can stop and continue anytime you like without having to purchase a card or feel like you wasted your money for not playing as much as you should of.

Man i can not wait for this game to come out, i love Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 seems to have much more going for it. And the creators seem very keen to make it very good, can't wait!

I have for the last year been facedesking everytime a game came out that was just like every other MMO out there in this genre. Now here we have a fantasy MMORPG that is not only new and innovative it also has NO monthly fees. Please tell me why I should continue to pay monthly for WoW ever again? Gorgeous artwork, amazing music, truly exciting gameplay, better story telling, and more...oh yes WoW your had your time in the sun, but its all but over now!

I am really glad they're going for the "it's done when it's done approach". At least this means we'll get a completely polished product.

1500 hours on Guild Wars, I'll probably spend twice as much on this one.

Please fire this interviewer, not only is he calling RANGERS, Hunters like this is WoW. He also makes a final note at the end of the interview showing him how much of a WoW fanboy he is. Gamespot has a epic time hiring idiots and losing the good ones like Jeff Gerstmann.
