Guild Wars 2 release window pushed back to 2010 - 2011

Bring on Aion :P

Aww crap.. I'm one of those folks.

Could be those PS3 projects are taking precedence.

What I liked most about guildwars was the special events every holiday out of that well it is better than world of warcraft,sorta.The only problem I had with the game is that all spells looks very similar so is hard to know what you just did,they are a bunch of flare effects etc I hope they change it in the sequel.When I'm casting meteor or something I would like to see a meteor.

Also until Nightfall they changed the way the game displayed the story.Everything was displayed in text form but you had to scroll over if you gave a crap something hard to acomplish because there was a huge button that said click here for XP and L00t in every TL;DR text conversation.

Maybe it's like the Twilight Princess delay. They wanna make it "extra good".

I have noticed that their needlepoint has been a bit lackluster lately.

Well that sucks I was really looking forward to GW2! Right now video game developers are really testiong my patience, with all of the economic trouble games like Guild Wars 2 are getting their release date spushed back. George Bush, Gordon Brown I'm blaming you!

Man this sucks. I was one of the people so looking forward to this game. I think they started out being not Dx10 and then shifting to DX10/Dx9.
I guess if it ensures a good game experience with no subscription fees then I am ok. However they will be potentially competing with SW:The Old Republic, Star Trek Online, DCUO, Champions Online not to mention the other MMOs already out.

I want it to come out even if I just got the Trilogy in December.

this is one of those games i was always curious about. i should have downloaded a demo for it. i like WoW but im not a fan of the subscription fees so this sounds better for me. it sucks that the second will be taking so long though. maybe it's just a "worst case scenario" place holder date or something.

Damn it! I haven't been playing Guild Wars for a few months now, but mostly cause there wasn't much more for me to do except title farming. I had hoped GW2 would be release late 2009/early 2010.

No loss for me. I got bored with GW back before Nightfall. Tried it anyways and after my character was deleted THREE times by server crashes, losing me unique items which couldn't be re-added to my character, and a total of 10 levels I gave up.

Just recently I started playing WoW with a friend. Both GW and WoW have their own issues, but even though it's a pay-for service, it's just better.

This move is for the best... though I wonder if they will try to go head on against The Old Republic, given this time for release. Granted though, Guild Wars already has a solid player base that will no doubt support this next big update. I myself will defiantly be picking up Guild Wars 2 as I enjoyed the original Prophecies a great deal during launch. I might even take off work a few days for it.

What is with people complaining for WoW's subscription fee?
It's 50 cents a day

I was really looking forward to GW2, though I have to wonder if Diablo 3 will dominate it.

probably adding some new stuff for Windows 7.

Curse you Grenth! CURSE YOU!!!!!

Now is a really good time to start playing GW 1 though. Coming in as a newbie, you have a stupidly large amount of stuff you can learn and do.

Also, this: http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Trilogy-Pc/dp/B001DI6O6C/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1234854157&sr=8-2

Buy this buy feb. 28, and you get all 4 of the Guild Wars games for only $47. Just remember to add eye of the north to your cart.

Seriously, thats a crazy deal. fall of 07 I paid $40 for the last expansion pack alone. If you want to get into GW, this is the month to do it.

fuck ncsoft and anet i will not buy aion i will play private server of aion and support it if they dont give a fuck on guildwars 2 lots of gw funs will hate them for this and they will go down someday for ignoring us because aion is nothing lik GW i dont care whatever you guys think about this commet but they are talk shit! delaying the game that gave them reputation and money

Man ur soo right.

I was a GW player and we started playing WoW (Yes I'm so early) but one thing I miss is the missions in GW. Am i just missing something or is there really no primary mission in WoW?

Ok this is primarily to you stromm, but everyone else listen up too.
First the only possible way for your character to get "deleted" is if you repeatedly make vulgar or asinine names like "Fook mei" or some dumb shit like that.
Second only possibly way is if you are found, what gamers like to call boting. Which is a breach in the games terms of agreement. These things both are. However I'm most certainly positive that if you were boting, than your account would in fact be banned/ suspended.
The last and final way for a character to even remotely get deleted is if you did it your self or someone else hacked your account, stole your shit and then left you blank. which is most likely this. So don't complain, because people that watch too much porn and sign up for retarded sights end up getting key logged eventually, or what net people like to call phished.
So please stop crying and if you in fact do play Guild Wars still and this is to everyone, feel free to message me in game I am what you would say one of the old timers/ guru's of the game.

Now for the rest of you all that anticipate GW2. Don't count on it anytime soon. I have been playing GW for 4.2 years now as a die-hard supporter of NCSoft and ANet both. I am proud to say that I am among the few left that still play that actually alpha and beta tested this game back when it was bare-boned and dull. Back when the Healing Signet was the first ever PvE skill and when Hundred Blades was actually a non-elite.
Anyways. The reason why GW2 has not been released is because some people that developed the C++ programming that 98% of all good MMORPG's, retail and 3rd party alike use is going after the lower marketed MMO franchises first and trying to get their share of the cut. This will most likely result in a settlement due to the fact that the people that in fact developed the C++ format failed to patent the programming before many of these MMO's were released or even in development, so there was no need to request that they be allowed to use this programming. Many of you that have played the NwN (Neverwinter Nights) would in fact be supremely familiar with its capabilities and how to use it and not even know that you were. because NwN ran off of C++.
Sorry to make this long but in short, GW2 hasn't been released because of a lawsuit of some sort.
