More Guild Wars 2 gameplay footage is shown during Gamescom.
Can Guild Wars 2 be better than World of WarCraft?
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
It certainly will take a chunk out of the MMO player base in general though, the game looks brilliant.
I'm sure that a bit of that will come from WOW. The original GW was quite successful without interfering with WOW's dominance though, so in the end it doesn't really matter. WOW will hit a decline, inevitably, but that's not necessarily from competing products, more likely just an issue of it getting long in the tooth.
Personally, I'm skipping Cataclysm, but I will be playing this, it looks too polished and interesting to ignore!
P.S. The necromancer was officially announced today. Now THAT is how you do necromancer/ dark mage type class. It doesn't feel like a gimped mage with pet abilities.
Guild Wars 1 was better than wow
Only time will tell, im really looking forward to GW2.
GW2 end game is primarily focused on PvP, so its a bit diff than wow.
I remember the days when I played Guild wars back in 04-05. I always loved how Areanet made the story, PVP and co-op so well in that game. For a game that only requires a one time pay and is constantly debated/compared to WOW, you know this game is great. I can't wait for the 2nd. Looks to be even better.
