F1ach: I bought Rift (recent MMO) as a time sink until this game came out, but after playing Rift a few month, I think I'm kinda burned out with MMO's, they all just offer the same grind under different guises, looking at the prices and the pre-order charge, I hope people vote with their wallets and ignore the initial release and buy it in the bargain bin.
Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO that I'm interested in and really, really looking forward to. I love the original GW, and what I've seen of the sequel so far looks just awesome -- they are consciously steering away from the WoW cloning trend, and are genuinely taking the time to make the game that
they want to make. I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far.
And hey, no monthly fees ;-)
