-- You must be joking. Anyways, not really a competition as I don't see anything particularly super interesting about Guild Wars 2 either.
-- These days it is never is worth it to buy in to an MMO early - if I get the bug to check it out I'll wait for the inevitable invite-a-friend, free weekend, free limited accounts, or whatever other incentives they offer. That should start the month after the game comes out.
It's not *early* as the game is a year old already. Your free weekend was last weekend actually. As for me, I bought the korean version and played it for a bit and settled on it then which made the wait really really freaking hard. As the kotaku article and gabe pretty much both say, just playing the game feels GOOD.
And I'm not joking about what I said. Explain to me how the two games are the same. Because if it comes down to *you press buttons for skills lol* then -.-
I played WoW when it first came out as well, had a blast back then. Played EQ1 back when it first came out, the whole OMG DONT BUY AN MMO EARLY OR YOU GET SCREWED only really goes for shitty games.
