Guild Wars has updates at least twice a week. Just because the NCSoft logo is on the box does not make GW a shitty game, nor will it negatively affect GW2, in my opinion. Aion was a total bomb. I played the trial and said screw it, but for me and the others who still actively play GW1, a very outdated game (which still has better graphics than WoW, lol???) you can bet that if they churn out updates and downloadable content you can bet that regardless of NCsoft being part of the picture GW2 will do well.
Oh yeah, and that. :]

I was in the beta. And I have an account with 50/50 HoM and obby armor and a 2nd on the way (33/50 almost to obby). I have been playing this game longer than I've been playing WoW and I continue to support it way more than I've ever supported WoW. Please don't try to start shit and accuse me of crap like that, also I don't think you read that second part correctly. I know it's a game changer and I freakin hate WoW. But I also know it won't be a WoW, so there's that.
