Put it this way, after 7 years of WoW I've had ENOUGH and haven't played it since December. I'm extremely disappointed with SWTOR, IMO it's a horrible MMO that was extremely over-hyped and I cancelled my sub after giving it a try. I need something to keep me busy in the meantime, I'm not big into FPS games like MW3, COD etc. I do plan on playing D3 when it's released (whenever that may be), but after several months I tend to lose interest in the Diablo games. I never researched the original GW much or paid attention to it's development/release like I'm doing with GW2. Is GW1 a ghost town, the equivalent of a single player game now or does it have somewhat of an active population? I'd just hate to spend the money and play it for a week only to become bored because nobody else plays it. I am however interested in the lore so I know what's going on with GW2 when that time comes.
