I guess the majority of GW2 fans never played GW1, because they think their payment model is new and exciting.

It is the same as GW1...


WoW went f2p to 20 because sometimes people need to make multiple free trials to get to try all the classes they want to the level 20 point, same with Rift.

I don't know if I get disappointed, surprised, or excited by nobody mentioning AoC on this. They went f2p and was the action combat system plus the hype at their forums that introduce me to Tera.

How can people say that simply because a game offers a free trial up to level 20 without a time limit the game is now F2P. Get a clue people.

This has nothing to do with GW2 crap.....Rift even went free to play to level 20 and probably will expand on that, DC UNIVERSE, and many other recent games went free to play because they make more money doing so.

Thats call advertizing, WoW had free to play until 20 for a long time, do you see it expanding? No. Its a free trial to get people hooked.

I heard about AoC but from what i hear their combat was aiming toward action combat but kinda failed at making it .. "right" i guess? And Tera's combat is polished to a whole new lvl.

And ya GW2 is iffy to me, i mean i'll get ti to try it which is probably what NCSoft is hoping for, but i play GW1 it was fun but meh. People keep making a big fuss over Dynamic events but i mean its the same as grinding....not only that its more time consuming than quests. I imaging a DE would take good amount of time to finish which means a casual player might never find time to finish a DE because first they have to find one and go through the process killing few hundred mobs with other player (if there even enough people) which means very time consuming.

You know that at launch we will have server invasions, GvG war, battlegrounds/arena, and plenty of OWPvP (pvp servers). Any REAL pvper will enjoy TERA combat over GW2 'tab target' crap...

Seriously, look at GW2. Now look at BAS. Now back to GW2. And now you're hospitalized 'cause you looked away from BAS...

You know we are launching with our 4 way server vs server too right? Already confirmed we are getting lvl 60 at launch so we are getting the queen part 1 and 2 patch. part 1 = lvl 60 and Nexus the massive PvE event and part 2 = 4 way server war ^_^

Honestly i think Tera beats GW2 on PvP, i mean open world pvp, guild wars,arena, and 4 way server war with an action combat.
GW2 has what? 3 way server war, arena, and i think seige? with a modified tab targeting system.
No matter how i see it Tera ups GW2 there, i still don't see whats so amazing about GW2 pvp. Aside from seige Tera has everything GW2 has with a better combat system. And since the dev team for Tera is dev team of L1 and L2 i doubt they going to let seige go unnoticed.

We are only getting the part one of the Queen of the Argons patch. We aren't going to get the server vs server pvp invasion at our launch, but hopefully we will in the next major patch.

Sure about it? I mean they getting part 2 tomorrow? More than enough time really to put it in, well I hope they put it in about 2-3 month after launch. Makes sense that way too because you got to give people time to lvl up, gear up and have Vanarchs set before you make Server vs Server happen i guess.

GW2 should probably be F2P, like LoL. Totally free with a cash shop purely for aesthetics and convenience factor. GW2 isn't good enough for a box price, imo.
