    Why do you care if you are not going to buy it anyway ? And no, you are wrong.

    Gw2 was never promised as f2p it was always b2p just like the 1st game, but for your answer its a lot similar to diablo more than most would like to admit.
    Claymore is Epic again, eat it priscilla fanboys.

    How is it similar to Diablo apart from being a RPG? Diablo is a hack n slash, isometric, action RPG and GW2 is a third-person MMORPG similar to WoW but with a stronger emphasize on PVP and a not so strong gear grind. In addition it has a more action/skillbased fighting mechanic where you can dodge a lot of attacks and everybody can everything to a certain extent.

    As for testing the game before buying it. Look in the forums. There should be a thread where people can give a 14 days trial to other people.

    people keep spouting that its not really true, its just an hybrid between standard mmo combat with some action combat with a huge emphasis on movement/kiting.

    - Every game in the Guild Wars frachise has been Buy-2-Play. None are free 2 play or were ever promised to be so.

    - Guild Wars as a series does share many similarities in combat mechanics and enemy nomenclature to ARPGs [the genre which is Diablo], yes.

    However, I think you might be misinformed on a number of aspects.

    I would advise reading any [all] of the following to start:

    http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page
    https://www.guildwars2.com/en/manual/
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_Wars_2
    http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...tiated-READ-ME!

    Also closing the thread as we have information aplenty on the game already. Not to mention numerous "free trial??" threads.

    $60 video game. Buy it or play something else for the time being.
