I'm bumping this since there's been so much new info about the game lately. Anyone else still wanting to play this?
The Digital pre-order gets you a 3 day headstart when the game comes out, which is nice.
Here's a good info-dump post with lots of links to various info about the game and it's systems. Personally, the main selling points for me are the sidekicking system, the Personal Story, dynamic events, and all the ways you can customize your character's appearance. Oh, and the lack of a monthly fee!
Ever since I quit WoW 2 years ago I've been a MMORPG nomad; I hope GW2 will be fun enough for me that I can stick with it for a while. I like the Charr and their background the most, and I'm really looking forward to playing one.
