I'm not disappointed. Simply fun without time wasters of other mmos.
Definitely worth the box price.
I know that the game is not for people who are searching for the next Ultima Online or something similar, but if you want a good GAME then I can totally recommend it to you. I say GAME b/c GW2 is very "gamey". it has way points for fast travel, you can send mail from anywhere in the world, you can access trading post anywhere in the world. I wouldn't say it's a virtual world but I'm ok with that. For what GW2 tries to be it does it very well.
