It will work like most MMOs where everyone is in the entire world, no instancing of players or zones. However, ANet is going to use a centralized database system for their servers allowing you to freely move from server to server with ease for free. It's 100% persistent outside of dungeons/WvWvW PvP/competitive PvP/your personal story instance inside your racial city.

See my thread above for a detailed rundown of the game.

I posted in another thread that this was a brilliant compilation of info

There's a post by Maarius called "top 5 false assumptions." He would really appreciate it I think

Would love to see that become a sticky.

I haven't read through it all yet, but I can at least say that the necromancer part has some wrong info in it. Death shroud does not give a pet and it isn't automatic anymore when you are downed. Though I do welcome such a thread coming here, it's built already with the necessary sections and info can be easily edited if changed.

I wish Anet would get their own forum for GW2, and just recruit some community managers/devs to run it. Since I'm sick to death of GW2guru, everything I post gets edited or deleted just because half the time so idiot doesn't agree with you. =.= If you say anything that is "bad" towards GW2, your post is auto deleted it seems, god forbid that Anet see someone that isn't fully brain washed by that forum.

Everyone always talks about how the GW community is awesome, but that forum just puts it to shame and shows everyone that it's the same if not worse than other MMO's. Having a community run by dictators isn't really fun or good for the community. I don't see how people on there think it's amazing since I've been labelled as a troll and SWToR fanboy now, just because I said that Anet can learn X, Y, Z from SWToR, whereas apperantly all the brain washed GW2 fans think that there's nothing to learn from other games, and that Anet will produce a flawless game.

I also find it funny that they added a forum where you can comment/complain about how mods are operating if you don't agree, but if the mod you complain about sees that post before one of the others, it seems to magically disappear aswell...

Rant over for now. =.=

GWG is a essentially a fansite. It's mission is essentially to create a space for backpatting and circle jerks. Nothing wrong with that.

There is a problem though that Anet lend them credence.

I would like you the post, but the fact it's been deleted makes it impossible. If I give you my forum name you'll only really find old posts and things I posted in the computer section recently, since I've been posting mainly in the SWToR over the past few weeks since I started playing it, but because I'm playing it people seem to assume I'm a SWToR fanboy there.

The post basically highlighted what I thought Anet could learn from SWToR, i.e. smooth launch due to stragging people, great voice acting and story, rewarding people for playing together, etc. I also said that people in the thread who were claiming Anet can learn nothing from SWToR or any other game where being abit naive and to be blunt stupid about the matter.

Obviously someone thought I was trolling and reported it, at first it only got edited to remove the part about calling people naive, with the mod edit saying "removed shit", great mod edit there in my opinion (sarcasm).

Now I thought it was ridiculous that they removed such a post just stating opinion since that's what a forum is about after all. So I made a post in the new forum to complain about how it had been handled, only to find my post in there got deleted aswell. It's pointless creating such a place on the forum, if you can't take what other people have to say.

Also, there's plenty more on MMO Champ who post there, who have given up aswell due to the same reasons. If you have an opinion, you basically can't post there, unless ofcourse your opinion is "OMG GW2 BEST MMO EVER, ANET BEST COMPANY EVER ALL OTHERS SHIT, EVERY OTHER MMO IS SHIT DIRT TRASH ONLY FOR RETARDS".

As much as I do love GW2 and will play it, that forum just turns me right off. Some of the people on there I really wish would just drop dead, since you can't mention another game with them coming into the thread, and shitting all over it, just because someone mentioned it. Look how many of the SWToR got locked because the people using that forum can't handle having another game been discussed there, it just turned into the GW2 fanboys claiming GW2 is god and SWToR was shit, yet none of them had played either game.

::EDIT::

That turned into a bit of a rant aswell. Sorry, that forum just really pisses me off sometimes.

Yeah that info was pulled directly from guildwars2.com months ago so I haven't kept up with changes of every single class.

**Mif** · 2012-01-05, 09:32 PM

Charr plush is back in stock

**Vewen** · 2012-01-05, 10:17 PM

Aaaaah, look how adorable it is!

By the way, did anyone have a look at the comments on FB? Dear lord, they are pretty damn horrible, people posting like: "Derp, gief game lol!". I hope their attitude in commenting doesn't translate to the server atmosphere.

It's a giant piece of information and a whole lot of work, I can completely understand.

**wynnyelle** · 2012-01-06, 12:26 AM

I need to get a Charr plushie... last time I got paid and then it immediately sold out, but this time I will be prepared. Just have to make sure that I have enough money to repair my car before I buy it. :c Hopefully it won't sell out this time!

**Tea** · 2012-01-06, 10:53 AM

It's adorable =) Im still waiting for the asura one though, that will keep me company next to my computer screen. Will it ever make it?

Oh my god. Thanks a lot omlech, after reading all that and peeing on my pants I want to play this game more than ever.

Lol. I moved the thread over here, it's stickied at the top and has a tiny bit more info than the one on GAF.

**theredviola** · 2012-01-06, 09:23 PM

I'm enjoying the amount of traffic in this sub forum recently. Every day when I come to MMOC, I'm seeing at least 1, it not more, GW2 topics on the front page! =D

Wait until open beta and launch....

**Murphlord** · 2012-01-06, 10:05 PM

I don't see how anyone could be excited for that. The GW2 subforums will be swarmed with legions of trolls left and right.
